Time Passed...
...did it ever.I don't know how I feel about picking up my blog again after 2 years. All my links are broken - I don't even have the same website anymore.
...jeepers.
I love posting my work though. Having a store for sure makes a creative life difficult. But I'm getting older and it's time to try to let the bucket list persist.
I have to chuckle at this point and note that Blogger still hasn't fixed some of it's most basic issues. I think I will leave all the broken links and housekeeping for now and just get some posts out there and enjoy this process. Unfortunately - you have to read about it! LOL! Just skip to the end!
It's significant to me that when I decide to take up blogging again, I turn to - hands down - my most favorite stamp company to date..."Stampscapes". I think it's realistic yet ethereal qualities appeal to my sense of mystery and imagination. Sometimes I keep everything on perspective and on point and other times I don't care about that.
I dreamstamp my feelings into existence.
If you read this and are anywhere near my store...this will be a class.

- The eagle and house are foam mounted and raised.
- I used Q-tips for a lot of coloring! So plebeian!

- Nothing too hard here - just make the stamps do all the hard work and cut and foam mount a few things!
