SO as I said I am quite the crafty person. My mom got me started when I was very young. We owned a little convenience store in our small NH town. In fact it was attached to the front of our 100+ year old house. Somehow she started selling rubber stamps on the counter. They were PSX (personal Stamp Exchange) long before anyone knew who they were or what the stamping industry would become.
My mom would let us pick out a few and we would sit in our kitchen with scrap computer paper making "art" (if you can call it that). I was about 5 years old. (Yes we had a computer when I was 5 but thats another story). SO just imagine what it looked like. There would be black and red rainbows, this way and that an occassional teddy bear with a xmas saying add a unicorn, some smudges of ink and maybe evev some of lunch on it. and it was beautiful.. Then we'd fold it up and call it a card. lol... my mom still has those stamps and its fun sometimes to use them for real stamping now. Wow how far stamping has come.
SO that was my early years. we became obsessed with stamping. THANKS MOM> and other crafts filled our home too. I begn making holiday crafts as gifts and it became a tradition. Eventually my natural craft talent became apparent.
SO after all the years of crafting my friends started teasing me. when I would show them something i did... "OK MARTHA". or "who do you think you are?" I never claimed to be martha. Sometimes Id be smart and amswer by saying "Im better then martha. " :) mostly id just think im not martha just me.
Crafing is just in me. If you dont like it blame my mom. I do.
Thanks mom lol ;)
