A first time for everything

Welcome to my first attempt at blogging! My awesome sister set me up with a domain name, so this will eventually be moving over there, but I couldn't figure out how to export my blog...yet.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've had this weird obsession with cool pens & pencils, not to mention new notebooks. I wasn't a fan of going back to school but all the new school supplies made it slightly easier to handle.

Now that I'm out of school, I no longer have an excuse to stockpile pens, pencils, etc., unless you count my new obsession....making cards. Unfortunately I now stockpile more expensive things too, things like rubber stamps, die cutting machines & dies, and oodles of embellishments.


I bought a Paper Creations magazine yesterday & I've spent most of the afternoon checking out some of the websites featured in it. Some of the sites I'll be visiting again:


www.invokearts.com/stamps

www.sandraevertson.blogspot.com

www.mftstamps.com

www.rubberstamptapestry.com


Unfortunately, I won't actually be buying anything from those sites anytime soon as I have to figure out a way to organize the stamps I already have before I add to my collection! At the moment, I risk buying the same stamp more than once since my stamps are kind of all over the place - that makes it hard to know which ones I've only admired & which ones I've actually purchased!

Someday I hope to have an awesome craft studio like these:

I'm so jealous!!!
