I have even more good news that I’ve been keeping under wraps over here at Paper Calliope. I’ve been asked to join the Altered Pages Design team! I am excited to join this team as they have such a great reputation for fun themes, ideas and products. You can check out both the Altered Pages blog and its Facebook site.
