So much to think about and do..!
This is always where my mind starts to head after my birthday (Dec.2). But why hype myself up? We’re okay here at home. Yes, I need a break from the dogs, household chores, and ferrying kids around. Before I pick up another holiday treat my hips don’t need, I head down to my craft studio.

Ahhhh…! THIS spot is where a lot of my stress & havetahs melt away. My dollhouses & miniatures, and my stamping corner. I turn on targeted lighting over my work surface, put on some classical music, and start. I never have much of a plan for stamping. I get inspiration from other Facebook stampers, Pinterest, etc.

In September, I brought an older PP kit (Paper Pumpkin; Oct 2019, “Winter Woods”) & a strip of postage stamps down to MA, so my sister & I could do a fun activity while visiting. Now, she has 10 cards ready to mail out. Christmas cards (PP Oct 2021, “Peaceful Christmas”) have been made & sent down to my dad to mail to those on his list. I have a refill of that October 2021 kit, so I can whip up a few of my own.

There are still some great stamp sets, DSP (designer specialty paper), and more that are still available* and perfect for this time of year. If not this year, then for sure next! Remember those boring rainy days last summer & fall..?! That is a super time to craft, shake off the blahs, get lost in your creativity and come out with a completed set of cards. Sadly, the items, to which I am referring, are in the July to December 2021 Mini Catalog and will be retiring with a sale ending January 3, 2022. Once they are gone, they are gone. I have placed my order and already have card designs & class plans for next year dancing in my head. Stamps, ink, and paper…

Merry Christmas from my studio to yours!
