So long

I have decided to stop this blog. I appreciate anyone who actually stopped by and looked at the things I have created. I just don't feel like this blog is inspiring anyone, as I don't get any response from people. Since this was the reason I started the blog in the first place, I feel it is needless to continue. I wanted to get some feedback from people on improving my creations, or I had hoped at least on some occasions, a compliment on something I had done well.

I am not trying to have a pity party for myself, or anything of that sort, I just don't want to continue putting time into this if it is not benefiting anyone. I don't want to be white noise in a cyberland of so many very talented people.

Thanks so much for anyone who has stopped by these past few months.

A non-stamping post

Well I thought maybe you might enjoy a couple of pictures from the fall festival of my baby boy in the Little Mister contest. The second picture is from a few minutes before he went on stage. He decided to lose the tie right before he went on. The last picture is of me leading the songs. I got roped into the job early the same morning.

Still here

Sorry I have not posted in a while. I haven't had much time to stamp anything, but I will be starting my Christmas cards soon. I know I will have to make a few to choose from for my hubby, so there will be plenty to look at.

Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!!!!

I think it's cute...

This is a luminarie I thought of last night. This is the first thing I have created with the totally cute Top Notz die. I really like how it turned out. I just used plain brown lunch sacks, House of Haunts stamp set and basic black ink. Very simple and would be pretty quick to mass produce if you wanted to line your walk for Halloween. Would be very cute for Christmas too.

Sorry about the poor quality for the lit up picture, but I think you get the idea.

Thanks for looking!!

Fall Festival

Well, the fall festival was today. Kind of a so-so turn out, but I think people were hesitant to come out because the weather was a little unpredictable.

I sold 5 of 5 bookmarks, 3 of 4 framed greetings and had two more ordered, 6 of 9 journals with matching pens, and 4 of 53 cards.

I was disappointed, but I am curious to know what you guys think. How was this for a first time table in a relatively small community (population 1500) fair? Please leave me a comment so I can decide if I should give another go.

Thanks for stopping by!!! I will try to get some more pics of the cards I made when I resolve the camera issues I have been having.
