Company In Stamping

Ok so I do what I can to please my kids
- if we can do it, we try...
So when my daughter asked me at School on Friday, at Pick-Up if we can watch the class pet 'Pumpkin'... I said, sure, why not... it's not like one more lil critter will make much of a difference in my life.... with 6 kids (4 at home and range from 9yrs down to a very busy 2 year old)... a 150lb dog, bearded dragon lizard, Russian tortoise, koi fish...
who would notice a little hamster??
 
When my 2 year old started to screech, my 7 year old holding the hamster high in the sky and my 5 year old asking to hold Pumpkin... I figured the little lady needed a rescue... so she joined meeee at my stamping table... and boy was she a sweet asset to have.
When my 7 year old built a maze for Pumpkin - near our couch - all I could see was missing Pumpkin who made an escape under the couch, my 150lb German Sheppard/St. Bernard mix barking, my husband yelling - kids screaming... lol...
so my busy stamping area was waaaaay more ideal, don't you think?!?!!!
 
My Big Shot was a great little cubby to hide under - especially when my 2 year old screamed in glee and excitement... geesh.
Peek A Boo Pumpkin??
Mini Glue Dots have a sweet sized hamster box - lol.
Really, my stamp pads, tools, stamp sets and projects made great maze like action for this hamster..
She'd run away from the girls - and it was a hoot to see them 'hamster' block one edge of the table.. they were bothering me - so at least I focused that energy - lol..
Run Pumpkin, Runnnnnnn...
This Ginger of a hamster won over my dear friend and fellow stamper, Ashley - she'd never seen one up close so this was a treat - she did worry what her husband would say when she told him she had a new pet in mind - ha, ha, ha..
 
Friends don't let friends stamp alone!
 
Sometimes, my alone stamping and crafting time is my only 'me' time.  This visit from Pumpkin was a fun diversion on a day when I felt a little under the weather.. she's safely back in her cage and my husband was surprised to learn that I signed us up for Pumpkin duty this summer - lol....
 
The great thing about being a mom is... if you want a pet, blame the kids!  bahahahah
Happy Stamping and Crafting!!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
