Here's a chance to fill your own pizza box with a large selection of goodies!  The bargain is $25 and you can end up with a value of several HUNDRED dollars!

How do you Build Your Bargain?  You will pick items from 10+ bins that include paper, cardstock, stamps, inks, ribbons, cards, Picture My Life cards, jewels, mini books, and tons of embellishments.  You can check out all the options before you buy!

Below is a sample of a filled box:
