About Me

My photo
Midway, NC, United States
I retired from Bali Bras, Sara Lee Intimates. Married in Oct 1976. I love meeting new people so hope to hear from you. Drop me a line. I've been doing crafts of all kinds since I was a kid. I loved making things and especially things that are recycled. I had never stamped until 2001 when I went to a stamp class while on vacation. We went to a local store to buy the stamps we had used. OUCH. When we got home I saw a Stampin Up catalog and realized how much money I could save with their stamps and best part as they are sets that go together which makes for easy card making. After doing some thinking I decided I should sign up as a demo and see what happens. I didn't know the first thing about stamping and still learning. Retired from Sara Lee Intimates in Feb 2001. I was in sales after many years, since age 18, as an office person, secretary, office assistant, etc. I am out of Stamping Up since Spring 2017 but still have lots of supplies!!!! These days I'm back to quilting and having a great time.

Time with friends

Hi all. Spent the day with old friends yesterday for the annual pool party and of course 5 hours in the pool with no sunscreen not a good idea and needless to say I look like a lobster with raccoon eyes as I had to put the sunglasses on. Yep, not a pretty site.

This am I met up with another friend, Lea Kimmel, one of my stampers and we headed off for a mini fun day. We spent the day at Barnes and Nobles looking at stamping magazines and just chilling out. I had 2 coupons to get to free iced coffee at Sheetz, so that, good company, and neat magazines, it was a great FREE day. My little notebook is filled with inspiration.

So next time you are bored, grab a friend and head off to Barnes & Nobles for some chill out time.

Nancy, you are a doll. I thought surely with some looking around I'd get a lead to doing things better. Thanks for stopping by

My Blog

May, 2009 when I started the blog and it's still a learning experience even in 2017.

If you are ever looking for a retired stamp set, ask me, I might have it and let it go.

As a follower you'll get emails when I post things which I tend to do in batches, once or twice a month once I get back on schedule.

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate all comments.
