Flight of the Butterfly

Those of you that have visited my craft room can testify to the fact that I have A LOT of stampin' stuff! This year while I am enjoying collecting a few of the new  goodies offered in the Fall / Winter Idea Book & Catalog I have also promised myself to use some of the tools and goodies that I have collected! So while I am confessing my hording skills . . . I am going to confess that I have not one, but TWO Stamp-a-ma-jig's and even worse . . . I had never used either of them. But wait . . . it gets worse, this year at Stampin' Up's! Leadership Conference my stampin' buddies had to teach me how to use it!!! So my promise to myself is a bonus to you . . . my blog visitors . . . in order to stay on top of using all my fun goodies I will be sharing samples with you a few times a week.
