New Stamping Space…

August 3, 2020 0 Comments

Did you see my “New Stamping Space” in a corner of our finished basement! Due to COVID-19, I suspended all “in person” classes until further notice. Because I don’t need my “old dining table” for class attendees, I decided I would try it out as my “creating desk” and I’m loving it!! When it’s okay to host “in person” classes again, I may have to buy another table to use – LOL!!

I’ve been learning lots of new ways to communicate with family, friends and customers while staying safe and social distancing. Zoom has become a favourite and Facebook Live presentations are getting easier to do.

My new motto during COVID-19 learning curve!!

Let me know if you have a technique or stamp set you’d like me to create with and share. You are always welcome to join our “Zoom Class With Friends” where a project is shared and you use your own products to create with!
