A slight pause

There has been a slight pause in activity because my dear sweet husband decided he wanted to do something nice for me and he stripped my craftroom and began to give it a full make over.

The idea is good and very generous and the end result will be amazing, but the process is agony. All my crafting materials are packed & stacked while the work goes on and not being able to get busy is driving me crazy.

My ideas and enthusiam are on high but productivity is stalled...Thankfully we are coming the final stretch and normal crafting service will be resumed shortly...

Meantime I am enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of the makeover. The room has had a complete refurb and I love the new colours and the floor is simply gorgeous...so nice in fact it seems a pity to bring furniture back in here. It all has a new wood smell and the sawing, drilling and banging all indicates progress so I am enjoying it all.  Another couple of days and all my goodies can come back in here and  I can STAMP my mark on my new improved workspace.

Will post pics once it is finished...and before I make it all messy again.

'Owling with laughter

I was chatting with an old friend this evening and she asked what I was doing...without thinking I said "Just sweeping up owl droppings." My friend was clearly a little confused by my reply, so in an attempt to explain I went on to say "It's okay, I've been stamping and punching owls all night..."

It took me a little while to further explain that I was not being cruel to wildlife, but had been having fun using my owl stamp and recently acquired two step owl punch.


Here is one of the cards I made today. I used the owl stamp from the Punch Bunch  set and then used the fabulous (and my personal favourite at the moment) two step owl punch. The background was made using a stamp from the Just Believe set in old olive ink...all from Stampin' Up!

Hello!

My name is Christa and I have just recently become an Independent Demonstrator for Stampin'Up! I am setting up this little blog as a place to share my love of stamping with you... It will take a little while for me to make the place feel like home - its all a bit new and empty looking just now...but that can soon be remedied with some stampin' fun.
