I have been getting together with some girls for Stampin Up parties lately and the Stampin Up demonstrator has been giving out to each hostess of each party, a set of 4 tumbled stone coasters that she had stamped and decorated herself. These coasters are very nice and very easy to make yourself.

Stampin Up is a company that sells stamping and scrap booking supplies countrywide. It is like Avon or Mary Kay, where you have parties to sell your products and make money. I have a set of the Stone coasters and they are just so beautiful and a great gift for anyone. Below are the direction to making them yourself, and it is so easy that even a kid could do it.
What you will need:
Tumbled Stone 4×4 from Lowes matte finish
stamps
craft ink pads or permanent ink pads
clear gloss sealer
All you do is stamp your images onto your tumbles stone coasters, bake for 15 minutes, let cool and then finish with a clear gloss sealant.
Colorful Creations is a local store that have scrapbooking and stamping materials. This store is soo cute and funky and they have so much to choose from and there are new products coming in all the time.
They offer classes almost daily and the girls who work there are very nice and spunky. You are always greeted with a smile when you enter Colorful Creations. There are lots of ideas all over the store to help you with your project. If you like papercrafting and scrapbooking than this is the store for you.
I have a daughter who has just turned one and up until she turned one she was having formula as her meals. Formula comes in large and small cans and you go through at least 1 large can every 1-2 weeks. I am on who likes to recycle and I was trying to figure out ways to reuse the baby formula cans. I have noticed other moms doing the same thing online. You can use the baby formula cans for storing small items and you can jazz them up with some fabric and or funky paper. It is fun to make a new project out of something that you would normally just throw out.
My mother started scrapbooking just over a year ago and now has her own scrapbooking room in her home dedicated to only scrapbooking. I did not know how many people were out there that loved scrapbooking so much until she started to do it. I do it occasionally and I have a sister in law who like to do it too.
Recently we got together with some girlfriends and had a night of scrapbooking where we each did a project and it was really fun. It is something to look into if you are creative and like to work with paper.
