My very first post

Hi there and Welcome ,

I am so excited to finally have a blog. Thanks so much to Vicky for making it happen.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Nicky and I am a confessed Stampaholic. My first passion is my family, wonderful husband of 35 years, beautiful daughter, daughter in law, son and the love of my life my 3 year old grand-daughter.

I started stamping about 9 years ago and shortly after I started I was invited to teach and have been teaching stamping classes ever since . Teaching has given me the opportunity to meet the most wonderful , amazingly talented people that share my passion of stamping and paper crafts.

I currently have the BEST Job in the world , I work full time as Creative Director and designer for Stamping Bella, where I also
teach stamping classes. Emily the owner and I met when she signed up for my stamping 101 class and the rest is history. We instantly bonded when we found out that we were both from Montreal and new mutual people. Emily reminds me so much of my daughter (which is getting her PHD out of town), that I just had to adopt her as my other daughter. Our adventures have led us to lots of laughter, great endeavors and wonderful stamps and products that we are so passionate about. I hope that through my blog I can share some of these adventures with you.

Please feel free to comment or ask any stamping related questions that you may have.

P.S. As you will soon see I am not very computer savvy, so please bear with me and let me know if I have broken any Blogging etiquette.

hugs
Nicky

What a beautiful blog. I started one last Friday and I am not computer friendly either. I not sure that there are any blog etiquette, let me know if there is a list somewhere or something because I may be missing something.

Your cards are lovely,Keep up the good work.

Hi Mom,
Your blog is beautiful - I can see where I get my talent from ;) Congratulations, you are now more computer savvy than me - I don't even know what a blog is! But whatever it is, you did a wonderful job, as always.

Hi Nicky
I just found out about your blog! I am so excited to read your ideas, you are such a great person and wonderful teacher.
You are the one who got me addicted to stamping, when I took my first class in the old days of Great Impressions at High Park.
I had very little money and you showed me the essencial tools to start making cards, I still have my first stamp, a little flower.
Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!
Parabéns!!
