I like to listen to audio books. I listen when I fold laundry, drive, cook and craft. I really feel like I can savor a good book this way since I tend to skim over the slow bits of a book when I “read” or I fall asleep mid page. I’d much rather be multitasking:) I also have the bad habit of bailing of a book halfway though and returning it to the library or a friend with my bookmark still inside (I have left bookmarks all over town!) so it is nice to use up my scraps and make a few every now and then to replenish my stash. Oh, back to the audio book, I was listing to the book “The Help” when I made these:
I honestly could not tell you how any sewing theme stamps I own, I started collecting them about 6 years ago, I have been able to pick up quite a few sets lately because of the growing popularity of vintage sewing stuff. So my collection keeps on growing! The thing I love about vintage is that it will never go out of style. Collect away girls! BTW the stamps I used were from a Cling Mount (real rubber) set by TPC at Joanns, it was $6.99 but I used a coupon and got it for $3.50 BUT I think all of their stamps are 40% off this week!
I finished “The Help: this weekend so I’ll have to find another audiobook to listen to, any suggestions? I think I am the mood for a thriller now! Who knows what I will make listing to it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
I love the vintage look as well as the sewing theme…very nice!

I, too, listen to books all of the time. I loved “The Help”. I am just about finished “The Body” by Stephen King. Not really a thriller; but, a great book. It is the basis for the movie, “Stand By Me”. Whatever you choose, enjoy, BTW, I love your blog.

I’ll have to check that out, I have listened to a lot of Stephen Kings books! You might want to check out his short story “UR” if you can find it, it is one of my favorites!

I love these, Lindsay! I too really like sewing theme stamps, especially the vintage ones. I may have to go to JoAnns this week to buy the set you used. 🙂
One of my favorite authors is Mary Higgins Clark. A great suspense author, but not trashy.

TPC is The Paper Company, they used to make clear stamps that were so-so but the new cling rubber they sell at JoAnn is beautiful quality. They have a couple sewing theme stamps for $6.99-$9.99 and I know Joann has the 40
% off right now and the sailes apply to their web-site too. Make sure you check for a free shipping code because they always have them for orders over $35. I have picked up many of the TPC sets on sale and the yare simply wonderful, you can’t beat the quality or price:)
