Moving Time!

We are moving soon!
We've been working on a brand new Paper Issues site!
It will include a store so we won't need our Etsy any more.
It's been so good to us...it's kinda bittersweet.
The code MOVEIT is good until everything is gone!
Fine print: In stock items only, not valid on previous purchases. May not be combined with another discount.
We can't wait to show you our new home!!!
