stamping madness

on saturday, a co-worker held a stamping party/get-together at her house. i really like to stamp and make cards, etc, but i have difficulty finding the motivation to do it regularly on my own. so anyway, i went a little crazy and bought too many new stamps. it will probably end up sitting and gathering dust along with all the other stamps and supplies that i purchased last year. a couple of years ago, i had the brilliant idea to make my own christmas cards because it would be fun and cheaper, or so i thought. not only did i fail to make the cards, i found out that the start-up is way expensive - all the paper, stamps, inks, paper punchers, embossing powders...the list goes on. since i have a renewed stamping fervor, i have decided that i will actually make my own christmas cards this year. you read it here - somebody will need to keep me accountable.

you should get together with angela (yang) and stamp away. if what you are saying is true, then you and angela combined probably have the entire world's supply of rubber stamps and stamping accessories

well, the crazy thing is that there will always be another stamp or paper puncher out there, waiting to be purchased. i actually don't have as much stuff as the ultra-dedicated stamping enthusiasts. but that angela is talented - stamping and handbag making!
