Stamping Brenda

I went to visit daughter I-Needa. I-Needa often has a group over to work on album making (aka scrapbooking). I've gone to several of these events and love meeting I-Needa's friends. One wonderful friend is Stamping Brenda. I-Needa has always tried to help identify who she is talking about on the phone by putting a helpful adjective in front of their name. I catch on faster that way. Well, Brenda loves to make cards and also memory albums. She has been at it for years and years, and she is very good at it. So I-Needa would refer to her as 'Stamping Brenda.' I've just kept the name and think it is a good one.

I arrived for a visit with I-Needa and an album making event. Stamping Brenda was there. She is always such fun and full of enthusiasm for her crafting. I-Needa and Stamping Brenda had been talking about my new interest in card making. Both being generous souls, they had each collected a few items to help insure I had supplies. That was sweet!

I had a good time with both of them. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and I was pushed closer to the edge of addiction. Mind you, I'm not complaining. I went willingly.

I have to brag on Stamping Brenda a bit here. She has hand crafted many cards these past few years which she 'sells' and donates all proceeds to her city's Cancer Walk. I'm impressed with the idea of combing fun with generosity toward a greater good. Go, Stamping Brenda!
