Welcome to Shelley's Secret World of Confessions and Unspoken Thoughts...

This is where I come to vent... and not be judged. To rant and tell of God's goodness, mercy, grace and love for me. To sing and it doesn't matter who hears me. To grunt and not be chastised. This is my little secret world that I share with the few who stumble upon me. Welcome!

An order for more....

Today, a girlfriend from the North Texas Fibromyalgia Support Group came by and ordered 10 cards... a few birthday, a few Valentines, etc. She said she would order as needed for special occasions. The best "compliment of all" came that she wants me to do her anniversary card! I mean, how much more of a compliment can a stamper get? This was my happiest place today. That, and my husband bought me that new crocidile punch thing-a-ma-bobbie I have been eye'ing for awhile! So, I am ready to sit and "get her done" in the words of Larry the cable-guy!

Also, I was wondering if ANYONE can share with me tools, tips, things they have discovered in their stamping passion? I mean, what gets you going? What colors excite you? What is your favorite gadget? I am on a roll, and ready to keep on keeping on!

Have a good night--- Blessing of today: Isaiah 58:11

Stamping for Pain Relief!!!

I am a chronically ill woman, and I stamp for pain distraction. I have been stamping since the late 80s, early 90s. I quit for a few years, but now, with Fibromyalgia and multiple other pain inducing illnesses, I now stamp for pain relief! What do you stamp for? Do you have a reason? or is it all for pleasure?
