I am obsessed with Korean stamp kits like these 2 above. There are just so many things to make using these rubber stamps! Why do you think Korean stamps come in small square blocks and with such cute illustrations? This is because with such small stamps, we can use it for our diary, organisers, or even use them in our letters to our friends!

To all my readers, keep a lookout and have a nice day! :)
