A Final Farewell to a Favourite Stamp Set

OLW Monthly Blog Hop & Happy New Catalogue!

My One Little Word is GROW, and this month's prompt was to kind of take a deep breath, and capture where our journey has taken us so far, with just a single photo.

August Grow copy

I chose to do a self-timed photo of myself, in my very messy, "temporary" stamping room.  When we started this OLW journey, I was hoping that my room would be completely revamped, renovated and refreshed by now, but part of the GROWTH journey for me is learning and accepting that long term projects don't take a few weeks or even a few months, they could take a couple of years, so to GROW is to accept, embrace and enjoy where I am now.

I quite like how that works out for me after an enormously busy month in August, and with lots of plans in place for busy, busy times over the next few months and probably long-term!

Very excited that today is also the start of our brand new Ideas Book & Catalogue for all the Aussie and Kiwi stampers. And it looks like Stampin' Up! definitely want me to grow in September too.

Take a look at what they have done!

Join the Stampin' Up! Family

This is a fabulous offer for all those addicted stampers who already have lots of Stampin' Up! products, and want to get the discount and all the perks for themselves without having to double up on things like the Stampin' Scrub.  If you join in September, there are two BARGAIN options for joining. For all the details, visit my Stampin' Up! demonstrator page by clicking here.

Well, back to the blog hop!  Here are all the other participants.

you do look quite comfy in that room that you are "growing" into!

Sam @ Learn. Create. Do.

That's a great photo of you in your stamping space! I love your words too. I might need to check out the Ideas book and Catalogue.

Margie

I love seeing a photo of you. And the way you did it really tells a story about who you are. Great environmental portrait! Can you tell I studied photography?! I hear you about growing and accepting. I seem to have to do that every day despite not always wanting to. Can't wait to see your completed room. I hope you will share.

Melissa

Oh my I thought we'd be in a different place with a lot of stuff in our lives by now too!

I love your photo!

MonicaB

WOW....wish I had a space like yours. It's lovely, even if it is temporary! Great word :)

I love the words you chose to include with your photo. Very true.
