Did you know that if you say, “There’s plenty of time for that?” about enough things, you will, in actuality, not have plenty of time? I am still hard at work crossing to-dos off the list as quickly as I can this week. The good news is that most of it will be—must be—done by the weekend, and then I can breathe.
Thanks to a brilliant inspiration from Lamina, I am at the moment setting about carving a new rubber stamp that will eventually be used to create Christmas ornaments. (Finished photos of all these WIPs are forthcoming, I promise.)

















I love this. I enjoy carving stamps so much. I never love the results as much as I love the carving though. This looks gorgeous. Can’t wait to see your results! Happy Friday!
