Allow me to vent a little

Okay, I've sorta hinted a lot about making my own line of clear stamps...well, I have my materials and have been attempting to make stamps for the last few days, however, it's very hit or miss. I've got the process figured out but was having such sporadic results that I am just so frustrated right now. I am certain that I need to tinker with my light box, I think the tubes are spaced too far apart and thats why my results are not consistent. That and I wish I had the moolah to purchase the machine I've been drooling over online.

It's all purdy and stainless....LOL. So I'm thinking of ignoring our current credit debt and sweet talking my mister into letting me purchase equipment with our stimulus check...I doubt he'll go for it because he wants a new tv...but a girl can dream right?!

And in case any of you were missing my cards lately, this is why they have been lacking. I have been spending my free time (crafty time) tinkering with polymer goop instead of crafting, but I think I'm going to take a few days to take a break from the goop and re-work my light setup...and STAMP!!

Soooo that's where I'm at with the stamp "thang"...OH and I've got an etsy account all setup, an email...an empty blog....just waiting for me. So if any of you have stamp ideas that you haven't found much of online or in stores and want to give me hints as to what you all would buy - I'm listening! Of course I cant garuntee anything, but I can try!

Now I'm off to stamp. Later Kids!

I have so many ideas, lol :) It would be great if I actually got a paper line going, maybe you could do some stamps to coordinate? :)

be sure to tell todd that you could make oodles of $, so he can wait & get his t.v. then :-)

I would love to see some background stamps. Oh and those oh so very cute animals I've seen you draw.

Kelli, keep working on him. I bet he will cave with you batting your eyelashes a bit. I NEED those stamps that you would make!!! Do you hear me???? You already have customers lining up at your door! Maybe that will help sway him too!

Hey Kelli,

Tell him it will be an awesome belated Mother's Day gift from him and the kids....Big sweet smile after saying it to him... I can't wait to see your stamp line.... I'm totally excited about it... Take a break and scrap/stamp for relaxation, then give the stamp thing another try... It's not like you have to hurry and have it done by tomorrow... Take a deep breath and go ohm!!!! We're all rooting for ya...
