Visit to Magnolia shop...

Borås, where Magnolia head quarters are situated, was covered in snow, it was blue skies and very cold! It's about 40 minutes from Gothenburg where I spent my Christmas holiday, so not so far away! My main goal was the Magnolia papers, but managed to spent a lot more on stamps, flowers and other stuff. The New Magnolia magazine is fantastic, which will now come to my mailbox every month! Anyway all of this resulted in the card above....which I enter in Just Magnolia last challenge for 2009, no 38, runs to 7 Jan 2010!
