Have you been on Pinterest!

If you haven't been out there, I am completely suggest taking a minute to check it out.    It is inspiration overload.    So many amazing ideas.    As someone described, it is like getting a new magazine every time you visit.      It is totally like a magazine.    You can look at what others have pinned and then if you like it you can pin on your board to reference it another day.   It's kind of like ripping pages out of magazine, but so much better.      If you are out on Pinterest already, please feel free to "follow" me and then I would love to "follow" you in return and see what amazing things you find.   Also you can put a button on your Internet Explorer toolbar where you can pin things you find on web pages all over the Internet. 

I have one board dedicated to scrapbook pages I love, paper crafting ideas, punch art, sketches and even one on tips for crafting.       And that is just the crafting, I also have seen great food ideas, decorating, etc.

Click here to see my Pinterest!    I completely suggest Tips for Crafting Board, lots of great ideas for punches.

New Year Resolution

A new year which means a new year's resolution.    One of my new year's resolution is to find a work/life balance.    I just started a new job and to help myself find a new balance between my love of my stamping and the rest of my life I will only be posting during the week.    So thank you visiting today, but going forward you will only see posts from me Monday through Friday unless there is a special announcement or unless I have I have been in the middle of a stamping frenzy and have so many projects that I will need to catch up on the weekend with posting!     If the 1st happens to fall on the weekend, you will definitely see that month's announcements on that day!

Hope all of you find a way to find a way to keep your new year's resolutions!!!    Here's to an amazing 2012!!
