Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I love rubber stamping cards. Used to go to workshops a lot but then found it was hard to sit that long and stopped going. I read and then eventually my eyes start shutting. That is my normal bed time routine. Also if I wake up I will get some milk, it doesn't even have to be warm to drink and then try to go back to sleep.

I use to belong to a local stamp club, but had to drop out because going out in the evenings was just too much, and I didn't feel good enough to go that much either. Haven't been to a convention in several years, so I just buy off the net. I'm too tired in the evening to do anything besides watching tv. I never knew how much energy book reading could take until I got this sick. Oh, well, at least I can still stamp! Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
