The possibilities of it all!

Languidly I woke up to a beautiful Sunday, even the neighbour's dog had been obliging and so I woke in my own good time. A rare occurrence, indeed! A little smile spread across my face as I realised the day was....mine!
No "have to do's", no obligations.... just some play time for me.

 
You see late last week a very big box had arrived and this was my first chance to really look at and create with some of the Unity Stamps that I have begun to stock. ( new stamps going up this week- that's "to do")


Among them are the new Christy Thomlinson stamps and they are presenting me with a dilemma. I so want, to create a number of classes with them but there are neither enough hours in my days or free days to put forward the classes in the coming weeks! The textures, the possibilities, the wonders we could explore!


There is really nothing quite like peeling back the cling and inking up the rubber on a new stamp is there?
Confession at this point.... I am a paid up member of Stampaholics!


I guess what keeps me enthused with stamping, is always the possibilities within the creative process. For me this is determined by mood more than anything else. Today I created the cards I have. Tomorrow it would all be quite different.


These Unity Stamps perform very well as my friend Danielle has been telling me for ages. I was also totally delighted that in my large package there was some complementary stamps, some of which I am putting to good use here.


Now it is a strange phenomenon that the clock speeds up when we are having fun, isn't it? Before too long my playtime was drawing to a close.
The morning will bring me quickly back to the "have to tasks."
I certainly enjoyed my day of possibilities.
