The Maui Stamper

I’m on the road, having survived PACKING. I should be better at it, but I’m not.  Weather always messes with my packing because I hate to be cold.  That’s a problem, because if it’s cold, I get cranky buying extra cold weather clothing that I won’t use at home.  First World Problems, as my son says.

First stop is a visit to my parents – I’ve discovered it’s an entirely different experience to spend time with just the two of them.  No Mr. Maui Stamper, no beloved grandchildren, not even my siblings – just me, Mom and Dad.  Oh, and Henry the Love Bug – he’s the cat that managed to work his way into the family after my Mom said No More Cats.  So it’s me, Mom, Dad and Henry, just hanging out, and it’s pretty nice.

Next stop is Salt Lake City and Inspire.Create.Share.2015!  Will you be there?  Come and see me – I have treats!

• Stamps:  Sweet Stack
• Color Palette:  Mint Macaron, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky
• Accessories:  Boho Chic TIEF, Banner Triple Punch, Rhinestone Jewels, Handheld Stapler

I DID NOT WANT THAT PUNCH.  Oh no, I did not, Sam-I-Am.  But I was wrong.  WRONG!!  That punch is the BOMB.  Can you imagine making these using your paper snips to cut each of those little banner flags?  I Think Not.

Crystal is a rock star.  She figured out that that the Banner Triple punch was just the right size to work with these little clear treat bags she found, and the Hershey Macnut Kisses were just the thing to go inside.  This was a simple project to put together – I think selecting the colors was the hardest part.  And I know I could have gone with colors that matched the Kisses a little more, but I chose what I chose.  So there, Sam-I-Am.

And when you see me at Convention and say “I follow the Maui Stamper” we will both know that what you’re really after is the chocolate.  And that is perfectly fine.

Do come say hello – and don’t wait until Saturday.  I can’t carry these things around forever.
