Why am I doing this stampblog?

I've been trying to upgrade how I post my monthly stamping classes online as well as sales or promotions from Stampin' Up, and have decided to try using this blog to do that. I hope it will be a convenient place to check the schedule and attend a class if you are in the area, see what's on sale before it's too late (we all love bargains), learn a new tip, ask a stamping question, or just see what I've been up to these days. I'll give you a full background of why I choose to use this company's stamps and products even though I have tons of other stuff collected over the years, techniques and how-to's on what these gadgets and tools can really do for you, and just show you some of the fun I have when there's time to play with my stamping toys.

I often hear the comment "I'm not really crafty", yet when people finish a card or project with that look of joyful accomplishment, they discover that they can do far more than what they thought just a few minutes ago, and that is so satisfying. I'll try to cover the basics and also some more advanced projects, so don't be afraid to ask questions or make comments, that's how we all learn! Hang on, it will take me awhile to figure out how to best use this blog thing but I think we'll all learn a bit of everything as we explore in this new adventure together!
