Lily Mirror: White & Red

I've been painting & stamping anything I can get my hand on. . .

New things out of old things

I've been playing with my stamps and some new ink... Notecards maybe?

Filling a void

The thing about an Etsy Shop is you never know when a sale will be made. Sunday evening I came home to find that five of my stamps had been scooped up! Each and every sale is a thrill, but the notes of encouragement that come with them are often worth far more...

Your stamps are fabulous! They absolutely fill a void I didn't even realize I had until I saw them! Thank you so much...keep carving!- Kathleen

A few ways to say Thank You

I have way too much fun trying to creatively say thanks. In the hospital, my mom-in-law blessed me with a two-in-one gift of flowers in a glass jar vase. She nestled the silver lid in with the flowers so I knew that the jar was a gift as well. It inspired me to give in a similar way. A good friend lived-in with us for a week after Isaiah was born. She and I took a trip to our local bakery with the kids and she was soooo impressed with the baking there. So, it only seemed fitting to bring some of that baking to her. I managed to stuff four enormous apple fritters into a glass jar and offered it to her when next I saw her. I believe she partook of the offering immediately.

I also made use of my *Lily Quill* & my *Daisy Detail* stamps to say

THANK YOU
to everyone who helped and supported us during these baby days.

Stamp Doodles

Whenever I think of a stamp I would like to carve, I sketch out the detail. Here are a few you will likely find carved into rubber someday soon.
