the Stamp Pad

09/01/2026

I am a bit behind on sharing all the fabulous things that have been going on lately, so i a going to try to post and catch up this week.

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of hosting our first Demo Only Shoebox Swap with my sweet friend, Kathy! It was an amazing day of sharing creatively, making new friends, networking and just having fun!

Not only did we have a great day, but we did something good for others, too! The ladies were incredibly generous by bringing fabulous books to donate as well as raising $305 to help buy books for the patients at Shriners Children's in Greenville to enjoy while they receive treatment and to take one home upon their release.

Thank you Megan, aka Paparazzi, and Kathy for sharing your fab photos from our event!

Want to help us buy more books for the children? You will find the Amazon link in the comments below. You can send the book to me and I well add them to our donation to be delivered in December.

Thank you to everyone who checked in about Mystery Stamping this month. I love that you all enjoy it as much as I do! Yes, it was scheduled for tonight, but due to an overextended schedule this month I have decided to cancel for this month. But don't worry! We will be back in September with a fabulous project AND a new regularly scheduled night, the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm.

There are lots of fabulous things going on with Stampin' Up! today, but there is something even better!

Today is the birthday of the crafty lady you may as the star of Stamping With My Mom. She is caring, creative and lots of fun! She is a big part of why I am the way I am. Yes, I got my love of fancy shoes from her!

This awesome lady is my mom and today is her birthday! So, if you will, please take a moment and help me wish her a happy birthday!
