Yet another class, and another hobby, and . . .

I took another class at The Stamp Art Shoppe in Roseville yesterday.  The class was Stamping 101.  Although I've had some rubber stamps for over 30 years, I've never had a class, and I've never really done much with the stamps.  I worked in office supplies in the late 1970s, and that's when I got my first rubber stamps.  I had (and still have) Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, stars, and several other stamps I used to stamp paper bags, plain paper (for wrapping gifts), and toilet paper (fun for birthdays).  I did that about 30 years ago - before the stamping & scrapbook craze.  I've accumulated some more stamps over the years, and now I want to do more with them.  Besides putting the images onto paper, I want to put them on fabric too.   Anyway, I made two cards & one card container in class.  I love the idea of making containers/boxes.  I've always had a thing for boxes, baskets, bottles, bags, and bins.  (How's that for alliteration?) I like containers!  So, the stamping - another hobby or an enhancement to what I already work with - fabric.  Love fabric!  I love to touch fabric.  My husband laughs at me because I'm always touching things in the stores.  Anything of a textile nature is fun to touch.  I even have a soft plushy bear by my bed for when I don't feel well.  The touch is very comforting.   It soothes the little girl within.
