Allentown, PA Rubber stamp show

 

 

 

  I really had a nice time at the show.  I went alone, which was fine, but it made for a very long drive there and back.  I would like to take a moment to let you all know, when you attend these shows, it is always a good idea to ask before you take ANY Pictures.

  Most vender’s do allow photography so you can take home the great ideas from their display boards. There are a few however that do not. 

 

 

  As a “seasoned” show attender as well as worker (I’ve sat at many a demo table and done make and takes in my day).  I have a few suggestions if you ever venture out.

  1.  Don’t expect any bargains.  Most of these vendors do offer online printable coupons and some deals. But most do charge retail prices. 

2.  Be sure to bring plenty of cash.  Most vender’s (Thank you Pay pal) accept credit/debit cards for purchases. However, some do not.  It is also important to know most shows do have a concession type stand. They usually take cash only and are limited with their selections.

 

3.  Be sure to wear comfortable clothing, dress in layers and bring a change of clothing.  The Allentown venue is in a big ware house facility and wasn’t very warm.  Even with the outside temp being in the 60’s.

 

4.  Be patient, and don’t forget to ask questions.  These fine folks do want you to buy their product, but they want you to know the proper way to use it and answer any questions you may have.

I hope you find this information helpful.  Enjoy the VBLOG where I show pictures of the products I purchased.  Have a great day. Stamp Happy. Be Kind. Always be a blessing.

Happy Saturday!

 

  I hope you are all doing well.  It finally warmed up (just enough to open up the house for a few hours and melt the snow).  I am so thankful for the sunshine.

I hope you will enjoy the two video’s!  One is a haul video from The Queen’s Ink, the other from a Tag (TMI) for crafty goodness, I ramble a bit, but mostly get through the questions.

 

Let me know what you think! I hope you will enjoy the videos!

Stamp Happy and be a blessing!

  Just a quick post for tonight.  I worked most of today on these Black and White Artist Trading Cards (ATC’s) for a swap on swap bot.  I highly recommend the site.  It is pretty drama free.  I love being able to create things for others, and swaps are a great way to do this.

 

  I hope you will enjoy the video slideshow.

 

 

  I had almost forgotten just how stunning black and white are together.  I used supplies I already had in my collection.  I even finally used my new sizzix die Box, ATC.  It has a mover’s and shakers piece.  If you desire to cut a “peek-a-boo” window.

 

  If you try a project similar to this one, please send me pictures, I would love to feature you and your beautiful projects on my blog and face book pages! 

 

 

After an eternity in the United States Postal system

 

I finally received my swap package from Candace today!

 

It is so beautiful.

 

I just love all the shimmer and the extra goodies she sent to me! So much fun.  Now I can actually keep up with my swaps and not forget anything!

 

Enjoy the Vblog!

 

 

Stamp Happy, always be kind and be a blessing!

Please excuse today’s ultra quick post.  It has been an extremely long day of cold, nasty snow.  I also didn’t feel great most of the day.  Two more days of steroids and hopefully everything will return to normal.

So I slept most of the afternoon.  I did manage to film the video above showing my great package form Candace and do my steam punk matchbox.  Which I’m still working on and making a couple of things for the inside of the box.

 

I hope you are all doing well in this weather and staying safe and warm.  Stamp happy.   Be a blessing and always be kind to one another
