Yesterday I got to go on a short stamp shopping expedition--say that three times fast!! I met up with an "old" stamping friend, Denise (peanutbee) and also a new stamping friend, Cathy (CathyMac on SCS). We all live within an hour of a nice little stamp store in the heart of Amish Country, so we met up and did some shopping!! Be sure to ask Denise what I "enabled" her to buy!!!! LOL!
And just for fun, I snapped a photo of the cute young man who was running the store, probably for his mom: 
Isn't he sweet? I think he was a little overwhelmed by our exuberance!!
Before I left, I realized I hadn't made a little something to give the girls. I already had Puns from the Past sitting on my desk, so I got some gingham paper from my Crafty Secrets Earthy pad, some buttons from PTI, some taffeta from SU and made two of these quick little notebooks:
Although we don't "sew" together, we do have a common thread through our love of stamping! After a delicious lunch at Shady Maple Smorgasbord, we went on our separate ways, but we will definitely be meeting again and adding some other stampers to our group!!! Thanks, girls!!
Hmmm...are you callin' me old??! {giggle!} Just teasin' ! I had so much fun yesterday with you girls and I LOOOVE my journal!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time! The notebooks are 'sew' cute :-)
ReplyDeleteSeems like you gals had a wonderful time yesterday...How Fun!

What a great picture!! I'm so disappointed that I wasn't able to go, but hopefully the next time I can make it! You all look fabulous and so does Joel, isn't he the nicest young man?
ReplyDeleteYour notebooks are so cute and such a special keepsake...and I'm glad you nice ladies all had a fun day together!!!
That was a cuties running the store.
ReplyDeleteWhat seriously adorable notebooks. I saw where you were going with the 'sewing' theme.
LeAnne, it looks like you guys had a blast!!! Your little journals are lovely. Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
ReplyDeleteHow neat that you got the opportunity to do that ;D
ReplyDeleteLooks like you gals had a fabulous time! I have a quick question - how do you get the paper on the notebook cover so perfect? Do you take the notebook apart, punch the holes, stick the paper on and put it back together? Hope I'm not revealing my total lack of experience here. They are so cute! ~chris
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to shop for stamping supplies....with friends. You are so sweet to take them such cute little notebooks. Now they can use those to make their lists for next time. {big grin}
ReplyDeleteGee.....another reason to be jealous of you. BUT, I found a stamping store within two miles and they just finished ENLARGING. It's brand new, and I've been there EVERY DAY THIS WEEK. Oh happy day!!
ReplyDeleteI AM SO JEALOUS!!! Love the picture of the three of you! You have such a beautiful smile!
ReplyDeleteMy stamping friends and I go to the same stamping store out there in Amish country. Love her store and her prices! I went in June when she had the owner of Sweet N Sassy Stamps there in the classroom and we did make and takes. Fun time. Only problem is you tend to spend too much money there! HA!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous gift, wish I were in your grup! lol! Sounds like you had a heap of fun :)
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are precious---love them. I just think the simple things are amazing---and I'm so impressed that you whipped them up the morning you left!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh, be still my little "Puns" lovin' heart! That is the most darling lil' notebook, EVER! WHAT a fun outing you guys must have had! My kingdom to come along with y'all just once! You sound like such a fabulous group and WHO doesn't love a good shopping road trip!?! You're ALL THAT, LeAnne! Me loves your show! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a marvelous day!! I love the little notebooks you made the girls, so cute! Love the homey-ness of them, does that make sense? :-) Sometimes I just can't find the right words....they are super cute!
