We had such fun stamping in my Stampin' Up! Valentine class last night! Gathering with other ladies that love doing the same thing…well, it's just great. The projects are the icing on the cake! (We made 4 cards and 2 treats–I'll get a pic of the other treat and show you later in the week.)
One of the things I love best about stamping is the social aspect. I meet people I never would have if not for stamping. Many of us become friends, others become special aquaintances.
I often say that you get a double blessing when you stamp:
- You are so blessed when you create something–it's a great feeling and really feeds your soul in a special way. If you are in the doldrums, rubberstamping has a unique way of lifting you out of them. And if you are already doing, well, you will be even happier when you finish stamping! I believe it's because we tap into our creativity–part of the unique gifting imparted to us by our Creator God.
- You are blessed again when you give your project away (and we do give away most of what we create:). People are grateful for your heartfelt, handmade expression of love/friendship/caring. It makes their day!
But I would like to add a third blessing to my list of rubberstamping blessings:
- Social gathering. Although we do stamp alone, we also stamp in groups. Whether in clubs, classes, charity events, or other gatherings, we stamp together…often. And when women gather together, doing something they all enjoy, great things happen! Conversation flows, help is given, new interests are piqued, and frienships are born.
Such is the wonderful world of stamping! If you haven't yet tried rubberstamping, don't delay. Jump in now! I have plenty of events you can try out. Please check out my calendar here. Contact me today, and I'll help you find an event that will connect you to triple blessings! (210-355-5729, or candy@sweetstamper.com) I can't wait to stamp with you!
