Welcome to my Stamping Blog

I resolve every year to start my Christmas cards in January so I don't get behind, and every year in the beginning of October, I start to panic as I realize that it's almost Christmas time and I still haven't made a dent in mu Christmas card stash!!  Are YOU like that?I did a Christmas-in-July card class,  missed August, then started up in September with the different Christmas card offerings.  I was involved in several different swaps with the new catalog, so it's been fun and...

I wish I had a photo of the card I created for my daughter Lyndsey's 21st birthday, but I think I didn't save it!!  WHAT?!  I loved the card, but since I don't remember what it looked like, it was time to create something new for her girlfriend Rosie's 21st birthday!  As someone at church said regarding an anniversary on 9/11 ...
