Lynda K. sent this to me and it is too cute!!!! Sorry about the formatting - there was a cute pic with the e-mail that wouldn't transfer into my post but the text is still aligned for the picture. It was a picture of stamping items.

THE STAMPER by Jackie Saxby 1999
I started out with just one stamp
and when I bought some more
I decided that a shoe box
Would make an ideal store.
Then as I added inks and pens,
My stamp collection grew
So I bought a roomy plastic crate
It would last for years, I knew.
Embossing then became my thing
With powders and a heat gun,
Metallics, tinsels, pearls and clear,
I soon had every one.

By now my lovely plastic crate
Was spilling everywhere
And my glitter glue collection
Lay scattered on a chair.
My husband started muttering
And said things had to stop,
So I bought a huge old wardrobe
At the local charity shop.

But after a while,
I couldn't shut the door
And I put shelves in the spare room
To accommodate yet more.
Our house is now for sale,
Something larger being sought,
By the way, did I show you
The latest stamp I bought......
How Cute...
ReplyDeleteI want to copy and hang it

started...right!! TFS
