Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers-18

My name is Jacquie, live in San Jose and love to stamp! Actually, I also love to garden, cook and write political blogs.

Facts about me? Have lived in the Bay Area all my life, went back to school in my 40's (I am still in my 40's, but barely) and graduated with a BS in Public Relations. I work as a Fitness Coach at our local YMCA and love my job.

I recently got back into stamping as I was learning how to use watercolors. When I was fooling around with the watercolors I thought...why not pull my stamps out and use them for a "base" and well, all hell broke loose from there : )

I used to have a craft room, but our daughter moved back home and all my craft supplies moved into the shed in the backyard. There they sat for over a year, lonely and unused. Then I got on an embroidery kick (still do a bit of that), and then went to the watercoloring...which brought me full circle back to stamping ; )

We don't have a large house, so finding room to have a dedicated stamping spot was hard, but it was needed as I had taken over the family kitchen table, for some reason my family wanted to eat together, can you imagine? Anyhow, one day I figured out that I could rearrange a few things in the family room and this is where I now stamp:

This is how the area looks when you are in our kitchen

I started this blog because my bookmark folder was getting way too full and hard to organize! Also, I have been just amazed at the quality of the blogs out there already and wanted to get them listed in one place.

That is about all for now, thanks for reading a bit about me : )
