January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Seriously??  Happy New 2014 Year!  WHERE did this year go??  I know I have been busy but did I really miss this entire year?  I have some memorable moments but many of the days have truly escaped my memory.

But it is now time to move on... So if you have been hopping with us, then you have arrived from the happiest of all stampers at Dawn's blog here.  Her card gives you a sneak peek at some of the new CTMH products! 

If you get lost hopping around you can always go back to Melinda's blog here where you will find the complete list for this month's hop.

In my life I have dabbled in many crafts!  In the 80's I loved to crossstitch and I have a few of my projects left from that 'stage' in my life.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to sew!  No, I am not a quilter.  I originally sewed garments for myself...but alas those days are gone... 

I was once known as "the vest lady"!  I taught vest classes in Tampa and traveled in the 90's on the weekends to a variety of Pfaff dealers.  (oh - so fun!)

In 2002, I started teaching bag classes ( long before there were a million bag patterns)!  I had my own line of bag patterns and I was known as 'the bag lady'!  I decided to dig out some photos and create a 2 page layout using this month's stamp set ...  Here are several pics of the ladies with their finished bags in my 'most popular' bag class!
