stampin up

i did it. i got over my nerves and went all alone to my first stamp club meeting
and it was awesome

we meet in a home in transcona. every one was very friendly and excited to get crafting... sometimes it's nice to be surrounded by people that are as excited about crafts as i am. i realize that to un-crafty people, talking about crafts, or spending an evening doing crafts sounds really lame. ah well.

i made a new friend as soon as i got there. Tina. she is not crafty, but has always wanted to be. so, we did everything together, step by step. we were also able to chat about jobs and interests.. we both love the elderly, and working with the disabled. we have both struggled in a job that we love, but a team of co-workers that we do not.

we spent the evening making 2 cards, and then starting our "wish lists" for the things we will buy over the next 10 months. I'm really looking forward to our next meeting!
