Basic office document scanner... 1 Reply

Hey, I have started an online shop for paper crafts and handmade gifts. It has been six months, and so far going great. I use a multifunctional printer for both printing and scanning.

As I mentioned on one of my prev posts(hope you remember!), our log home is an elegant tiny one with a huge backyard. We already have a garden and a fishing pond.
