About Me

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.

Getting ready for class #2

Yep, I'm happy with this card for the Oct. '09 class. We're doing Christmas cards. I tweaked this card and got the idea from another stamper and gave her credit when you go see the projects listed in '09.

No matter how much space you give me, before you know it I'm down to maybe 10 inches. You'd think I'd start putting things away before I start cutting in photo #3. Nope. Ok so I'm working on my clutter issues.

Years ago, I had another business making handpainted items for 350 gift shops across the US and Canada. One of my most popular plaques was... "my mess is organized" .

Being a Gemini for me is always a struggle as my creative messy side is always fighting with my neat, organized and orderly side. Believe me, it's stressful.

What a relief when I'm finished and happy with the finished product.

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.
