stamping

I know I've mentioned before that my mom is in a nursing home. She had a bad turn, and she is in the hospital. She's better but she just doesn't eat enough. So far they haven't found a reason for it. She went in last Friday. Saturday I had been looking forward to going to a scrapbooking thing in Columbus, Ohio. I had paid thirty dollars for a class to make a flip-book. Mom told me to go because they weren't going to do anything on a Saturday.

Went to the class and made the flip-book it was another ten dollars for supplies but I had a really good time. I love someone taking me by the hand and showing each step to take. I wish I had another kit so I could take more time to finish it right. I have made books before and I don't like how the edges aren't covered like a book. they are just cut the size of the cover.

Rubber stamps, which is the title of this entry.

I joined a group for stampers, now I have used stamps for years, my favorite is called "baby moon" I have use this stamp for wrapping paper, cards invitations for a long time. I emboss it I have ironed velvet on it to make embossed velvet.

At the expo Saturday I have never seen so stamps in one place ever. I only bought four new ones but if I didn't have to get back to mom I don't know how much I would have spent. I got a stamp by Jim Holtz. This is the first time I noticed designer but a group I'm on kept saying how good his designs were. It is by Stamper Anonymous. I got looking at my stamps today and I noticed the names on the stamps. I found only one more by SA. I do have a lot by Inkadinkado,
I like Hampton Art and background stamps by Stamps Happened. Some other I like are by hero arts, stampendious, rubber stampede, hero arts.

The other three were from Purple Daisy Designs. A poppy, tiny dragon fly and a butterfly.
