Stampers!--Awesome People--Fo' Sure!

Whew!  Now I know why, I'm so tired during the week...heck, I do way too much on the weekend.  I had an awesome day yesterday starting with my monthly meeting with the totally fabulous women of +Alpha Kappa Zeta Chapter of +Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.  We conducted Zeta business and then we fellowshipped...another word for socialized.  Love my Sorors!

My circle of stamping friends is beginning to expand...thank goodness.  I met Lydia Fiedler at a meetup event that she organizes (love meetup.com by the way), and I absolutely love her.  She too is a demonstrator with Stampin' Up!, but mostly, she's local...read Austin...so I get to interact with her and see how she hosts her workshops.  As a result of meeting +Lydia Fiedler and with her encouragement, I started my own meetup group Sweets Signatures Cardmaking Meetup South Austin (check us out), where I'm hoping to meet others with the same interests.  I also met this other incredible person +RGail Tassey, who is already helping me to get better in my #coloring skills using copic markers specifically and coloring skills in general.

The crop crew...Happy St. Paddy's Day!
I also met +Crissy Salima Rivas administrator of the Facebook Group, Austin Area Stampers and went to my 1st (of many) crops at her house yesterday and totally had a blast!  Our make and take project yesterday was a simple St. Patrick's Day card.  Crissy is a demonstrator with Fun Journey Stamps, so I got exposed to stamps and products from another retailer...several pieces in the catalog that I must have...Crissy and I are soon to become best friends... Not only did we do a make and take, we did a stamp swap (share--I think this is the better word). Several of the other ladies brought some--mind you--of their stamps and I had a ball scouring through them for the ones I liked--there were oh so many.  Here are a few that I decided on...can't wait to get started coloring them and making cards with them...
