Hey Everybody,
Check it out, my very first blog post! Yup, you read that correctly, April 10, 2007.
I can't believe it's been 19 years of blog posts! So many things have changed along the way.
WooHoo First Post
Tuesday, April 10, 2007
So, here it is my first post on my own blog! Wow not sure I'm ready for this, but here goes!
Today was a fun day of stamping with my upline. We share lots of ideas, laugh, stamp and enjoy each other's company. We also made some cards. I will have to learn how to post things to this blog. For now I'm happy that I can begin to share my love of stamping.
One thing is we're not decorating mini paint cans. LOL I remember when those and lunch boxes were popular. I found my post about the lunch box I made for a friend. Back then Stampin' Up had lots of different colors of craft inks that you could use on metal and other surfaces. Check it out.

Stampin' on a Lunch Box
I had fun making this lunch box for a dear friend. I stamped craft ink right on the tin. Then I sprinkled dazzling diamonds on it and heat set it. Then I sprayed the lunch box twice with clear acrylic spray and left it outside for a while. Then I added the paper, then the ribbon. I put mod podge on the paper a the ribbon to seal it and attach it to the tin. The paper also has snail adhesive on it as well. I love the way this sparkles. I don't think I've seen this done before where someone stamps right on the lunchbox.
Hope she likes it.

"Best of the Best" Vintage Dealers
Thousands of Passionate Hobby Fans Trek to the Strongsville Sports Collectors Convention Every Year
Fans of the hobby gather at SSCC each year for one of the most important 3-day events in rare and vintage sports cards and memorabilia. Thousands make the trek to see the top dealers, authenticators and auction houses all in under one roof, as well as gathering with friends from around the country who share a passion for the "stuff."
This is where I've spent the last 3 days helping my son, Ben at his booth. Whew, I'm glad it's over. That's a lot of standing, walking and being in one place. We both enjoy the people and watching kids take up the hobby of collecting cards no matter what type they like. One thing I love as a proud Mama is to watch Benjamin deal with young kids. He educates them about the cards they want, and the cards they have. He shows them how to look up cards to see what they've recently sold for. He also gives kids great deals! We love seeing parents with their kids sharing a hobby. It's mostly dads with daughters or sons, but we've seen moms too. We saw so many dads and sons of all ages enjoying 'the hunt' for a new card together. We had so much fun with this. I have to say it takes a lot out of you, but it's wonderful to spend time with my son too.
Tomorrow I'll begin a week of card classes and get back to card related blog posts. For now, I think I'll curl up in my bed for some rest. Until tomorrow. Blessings, Sue
