A Thought on 9/11

September 10, 2011 by Robin

Aloha, all!

     I finally have a week where there’s more time for stamping than not. And what a week it is as everywhere around us there are reminders that this is the 10th Anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11/2001.

     I think we all remember where we were that day; I was in Washington, DC, taking care of some business for my mother, and I was supposed to come back home to New Mexico on the 12th. When I finally did get home, many days later, the emotion of where I had been and when was overwhelming. It was one of those moments when I was reminded that life is so very fragile, and that we should do our best to live it to its fullest.

     This sentiment from the stamp set, Inspired by Nature is the closest Stampin' Up! stamp that I could find to remind myself of that day. And it's pretty darned close to perfect.

Robin Messenheimer

I have been stamping and paper crafting for over 30 years, and have been an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 14 years.

My favorite part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is teaching others to enjoy crafting themselves. Not only do I conduct classes in person, I write tutorials for teaching anyone who has internet access. No matter if you're in my area in The Villages in Florida or anywhere else in the world, let me know if there's something you'd like to learn! Read More…
