Moving (sorting, purging, packing)

Some of you may know that we are moving.  We currently live in Raleigh NC and I am retiring from my day job with the Dept of Ag. we are moving to Vero Beach Fl.  I am so excited to be able to work my Stampin UP business full time.  It has been a dream and goal of mine for a while now. I have been a Stampin UP Demonstrator since 1999 and my dream has come true.  Now the hard part purging "stuff" that I have held on to for 13.5 years and have moved from coast to coast and now ready to only take what I need. This is only the closet stuff that is in boxes.  :)



I will be taking some before and after pictures when I get to Florida since it looks like I may have to use a closet as my stamp room.  Large closet but it is a closet.  I guess I could be a "closet stamper"  maybe I should change the name of my blog.  NOT.  If I did it would be something pertaining to the ocean or tropical or sunny or something like that. I may have a name my blog contest when I get there.  Would love to here from you on that issue. 

Even though I have been working on packing all weekend I did just finish another page for Jacob's swatch book.  I was trying to make a fishing pole with MDS.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week and Happy April Fools Day!

Blessings!

  1. I love how you put the different shapes together to create the fishing pole. Very creative! Congratulations on your retirement, your move, and being able to become a full-time Stampin' Up demonstrator. Raleigh's loss is Vero Beach's gain.
