Do you collect anything? I collect vintage toys, ephemera, wood stamps, and even more things... I recently organized my wood, rubberstamp collection. The photo above represents a small portion of my stamps.

I think I started collecting them because I couldn't draw. Ha, ha, ha! I couldn't draw, but I still wanted to create  beautiful things (i.e. cards, art journals, etc...) with stunning images. Wood stamps solved my problem. 

Over the next year or so, I would like to create something with every stamp shown in the photo. Once I do that, I will change the display. Then, I'll make something with the new stamps. That way, I'll ensure that I'm not hoarding stamps. Ha, ha, ha! Rather, I'll be using & enjoying them.

Maybe I'll even share my creations here. (If they turn out okay, I definitely will. If not, you'll never know. Wink!)

Thank you for stopping by today.

Love,
Tiffany


P.S.
(1) I found the wood storage at Michaels (and used a 50% off coupon).
(2) Most of the stamps above are from the following companies: Stampers Anonymous, Hampton Art, and Inkadinkado.

I am still continuing to write letters to people in need that I've found through the "More Love Letters" website. It's my hope to write at least one person every month. So many people are going through tough times. 

It's strange, but writing to others to make them feel better, makes me feel better. It gets me out of thinking about myself and my problems. It makes the world feel smaller, more intimate. Other people struggle, too,  --- not just you and me. 


You can always look around and find someone doing "better" than you (however you define that word), and someone doing worse... While we shouldn't compare ourselves to others,  it's good to recognize that everyone struggles at some point in their lives. The more we can openly talk about it, and share our pain with others, the better. 


I think by sharing our stories of hardship, it gives others permission to admit that it's okay not to have everything figured out right now. It's okay to NOT be perfect. It's okay to be yourself. 

We all struggle, and we can make it through TOGETHER.

With Love,
Tiffany
