Let's get this blog started.....

Well here it goes - My first blog posting. I have decided to get my stamping and crafting habit out of the expense column and hopefully into an asset column. I have been crafting for as long as I can remember - I had great inspiration and advise from two very special ladies in my life - my grandma's - Meme Martin and Grandma Tribbett. They both have wonderfully creative talents and each one in different areas - so I was able to learn a number of different crafts and techniques. Meme does/did a lot of sewing - from having her own upholstery business to cross stitching, candle wicking, embroidery, and more. Grandma did a lot of sewing also but she is a painter. She paints beautiful pictures on all sorts of objects - plates, saw blades, dolls, etc. Plus both of them are AWESOME cooks. So I have been blessed with two wonderful ladies that have really inspired my creative side.

Now my mom on the other hand does not have a crafting bone in her body - but she has the most beautiful singing voice that you will ever hear. Unfortunately she did not pass that gene onto me - I can't carry a tune or keep a beat to save my soul. Even though she is not a crafty person - she is one of my biggest fans and supporters and that means ALOT!!!

I love to stamp and scrapbook - I guess it is the desire for instant gratification that drew me to these - along with the fact that it is easy to share with others and when I send one of my cards - it is awesome to see the smiles on peoples faces when they get one of my rubber made creations.

So my plan for my blog is to keep you updated on my crafting habits and projects - connect you with the wonderful world of stamping - Stampin' Up! - and scrapbooking. I will upload pictures of my projects and creations along with updates on my current stamping calendar, classes, and adventures.

So hold on tight while I hopefully take you on a creative ride by putting the rubber to the pad and the ink to the paper.

Blessings from Rendi
