Venturing to craft stores on my own. . . . .

I figured out the Christmas cards for our business, I am going to use the stamp Poinsettia Joy from Clear Dollar Stamps that Lori (Thank you Lori!) had sent to Katie Renz but she didn't get a chance to use them, so wonderful Kevin let me borrow them and ink them. I am sure that Katie was guiding me.

So, I ventured out to Joann's and Michael's by myself today! It was hard, because to be honest, that was something that Katie and I used to do, usually about 7 pm, one of us would call and say, let's go!! We haven't done it for a while since the cancer got in our way, and now we won't get to do it again! But, I knew she was there because I stood at the punches for a long time and we used to do that every time!! LOL I mean we even went on Thanksgiving night one year!!!!! (don't remember if it was last year or the year before!!!} I took my colors and my list and I found what I needed. I also found some shimmery floss for the snowman for Lincoln's stocking and each year I put something special on each boys stocking and I found those too!! Wish I had started that for my girls, their stockings are plain!! So, here is my stash, you also will see the new black stamp pad and the CTMH stamp pad that I borrowed from Katie's last week. Even with my bestie not here physically, I know she is guiding me from above!

I miss you Stamp Katie!!!
