I have told my customers that stamping is liking a muscle. The more often you use it the better it works. I haven't been using my stamping muscle as much as I would like to lately and I'm getting out of shape! The ideas aren't flowing as they should. Since going back to work full-time last fall I have been working hard to find that life balance. I started a job I really love in early May and the schedule should help me a bit. If soccer season hadn't kicked in for my 13 year old. Most nights we are running the boys to gymnastics and soccer or both. Then there are those out of town tournaments.
Both of my stamp clubs are on hiatus for the Summer. I find I need a purpose to stamp and I love the challenge that coming up with awesome club projects gives me. Since I don't have that focus this Summer I must cast my efforts to something else. Classes. I have been meaning to offer more of these this year but there was that whole life balance thing I mentioned. So now I have a challenge set before me to offer classes this Summer. And for the first time in several years I am going to the Stampin' Up! convention! I am so excited! This will give me the kick in the pants that I need. The new Stampin' Up! catalog comes out July 1 too! Stampin' Up! demonstrators will get to pre-order a sampling of new product June 1. Now there will be swaps to prepare, classes to create, and fun new stamping toys to play with! All this to say, I will be flooding my blog with new stamping projects to inspire you! I'm going to fit a little me time in to my day, my week, my life to bring back that stamping glow I so love.
This weekend I spent a wee bit of time in my craft room and have this pretty little flower card to share featuring the "Fabulous Florets" stamp set from the Summer mini.
Thanks for stopping by today!
