New website and blog location...

You may wonder why there aren't any new updates on this blog. Now I know I haven't been very regular with updates, but there have been several since the last post...only I moved it all to my new website MorganLeFaesTrinkets.com

You will find all the posts from this site over there, as well as new updates, the new location of free the printable files/templates, including the coloring booklets.

I hope to see you there in the future =)

Have a great day,
Monique
