We LOVE getting together to play with our toys. Some call it making messes, but we call it fun. And you can’t create and make rubber stamped cards without the creative process, and that means messes are made. Also mistakes, but we use mistakes as opportunities to be even more creative with our oops.

It’s not just rubber stamping.

It’s crafting

chatting

applying (or ignoring) theories of art composition

using our imaginations

sipping tea (or coffee or a special dessert drink)

solving world problems

singing the oldies, sometimes badly and off-tune (me, always with the wrong lyrics)

sharing life

telling stories

listening to music

keeping cats off the table

playing games

getting older

sharing resources

enjoying fine literature (or just literature on a CD)

making goals

going for walks

building from each other’s ideas

paving the way to send snail mail messages to friends and family

making gifts to share

eating too much

recycling (saving rubber stamps from the landfills and reusing paper and craft items down to the tiniest scraps)

storing memories (and collectively attempting to recall long ago events)

visiting friends

and building love.
