"I care about the process of telling my stories, incorporating my pictures and playing with paper. These activities fill me with joy and appreciation for life. That is why I do what I do. To acknowledge the deep and abiding gratitude I have for this life that I am leading RIGHT NOW. To pay attention to the people and things that surround me and the everyday miracles that abound."
It occurred to me that I really should do a giveaway to celebrate my foray into scrapbooking as a business. I still have two lots of goodies to give away from my destashing and breaking up of some of my Studio Calico kits.
But before I get to that, can you please just go and read France's amazing blogpost about why she scrapbooks? (I quoted it above but it's worth reading in its entirety.) I could (and have) read that over and over and over again. She nailed it.
Oh and I have a quick little card to share:
This is my favourite card design right now. Simple, easy and elegant. And I just loooove that patterned paper (Crate Paper). It's paper like that that helps make me addicted to scrapbooking. I wish they did cotton twill fabrics in patterns and colours as beautiful as scrapbooking patterned paper.
But I digress! The giveaway, right...?
Okay, okay. Here it is for all you stampers out there. One dozen (yes, 12) brand new, never used, still in their packaging Studio Calico stamps. The only thing is some of them have the kit name and date written on the plastic packaging in black sharpie.
Is this really mercenary of me? Yipes...
I'm going to be back at Cannonball Cafe (Barbican) today scrapbooking from 10am to noon, so if you happen to be in Kingston, do pass by and say hi!

Haha - I do that all the time - make people become a follower - heck why not?!? Nothing for nothing as Thomas Mapfumo (Zimbabwean singer) says in one of his best-known songs (you should listen to it - it's a really cool song!!) Anyway, I'm not here for the giveaway so don't include me (I have quite a few of those SC stamps) & also have given quite a few of them away as I'm not "that" into stamping. I am always AMAZED at how everyone pops out of the woodwork when you have a giveaway...!!!!
I would love to win! I have been looking for the Pharmacy stamp forever! And the chevron... Oh, how wonderful it would look in my December Daily! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
