Updated Carousel Surface Pattern Collection by Amy Denise

Carousel Pattern Collection UPDATE

Just when I thought I was done with the Carousel collection I put it out into the world to get some feedback and I made some big changes. I feel like this collection is way more complete.

This is my first post! So thank you for being here! I don’t know about everyone else but I’m feeling the pressure this year to get my shopping done early. I’m already half way there and it’s not even Thanksgiving. It does make me feel weird. I like to take my time and really think about the gifts I give and the personality of the person I’m shopping for. Though admittedly, I usually end up going back to my original idea, I like to really make sure I’ve seen all of my options and yes definitely that is the gift.
