Thank you first of all to all the kind posts you left about our water troubles. The water came in more than I originally realized and yesterday we finally tore out all the carpeting and pads - there was no way it would dry out and the whole house was starting to stink! Yuck...all in all though it could've been much worse and I know there are many families who suffered much more.
My new Amuse starter kit arrived on Friday but all I had time to do was look at my new stamps and oogle at all the beautiful ink colors! I chose the $149 starter kit that is normally $225 and it's a great choice if you want to load up on inks...if not, the $99 kit (normally $175) is an amazing deal and you can then add on the things you really want at your own pace.
What I really *love* is that these stamps come in a DVD type case and are precut and indexed. The indexing is so perfect that stamp placement is a breeze.
This morning I took out 10 minutes for some "me" time once I got the kiddos and hubby packed up and out of the house. It's just a simple card but I love the results of stamping pigment ink on watercolor paper.

Now back to going through two rooms worth of "stuff" (and most of it is my crafting supplies - do I really still need a light box or my paper making kit?!?!?) that is now crammed in the garage. Hope you have a great week, the sun is shining here!
