Pinch me!


Folks, the most fabulous news! I am to be part of the Gina K team. I cannot begin to tell you in words what this means to me - did you SEE all the lovely things Gina wrote about me! I'm pinching myself. Right now I am the luckiest lady in stampland and I'm just gonna take a moment and let this all sink in! Gina has been an idol of mine since I discovered stamping and it is an absolute honor to be associated in any way with her company. I am so grateful for the chance to work with Gina and her amazing team!

  7. Oh my goodness!!!! I just read this on Gina's blog and had to come here to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I am so thrilled that you will still be designing. Although I completely understood and supported your reasons for closing WMS, I was so sad to think of you leaving the business of stamping... So this is like seeing a wonderful "renaissance" in the stamping world! You and Gina have each been the gold standard (in my opinion) of integrity and sincerity as businesswomen, so I'm doubly thrilled to see you working together. Wow!!

  22. Well, what do you know!!!! Here was me wondering what creativity you were going to take up...I had you opening a yarn shop with all the fantastic new yarns.....a fabric (quilting to the fore) shop was also thought about....even photography for dear sake!!! I can almost hear you laughing in Lisburn!
    I must be the only one who knows of Gina K but have no idea what the style of her stamps is so I guess I'll have to familiarise myself now with Gina K..a thought...only available in the U.S.?
    Wishing you all the very best for the future - one poster thinks you are going to have more time with the children...gosh I'm not so sure - design teams and so on must be hard work but then you won'g have the admin to do which was a very big headache.
    Many Congratulations!

  28. I saw this first on the Gina K blog. I think you will be very happy working with Gina K. I am happy that they will be carrying some of your stamps, I've already started to guess which ones. I hope Gina K will carry your "Irish" sets. They were the first I purchased and I still use them frequently. Congratulations and best wishes.

    Claire, I was wondering if it is possible to keep the stamp gallery available to view as a reference. I would frequently go to it for ideas on any particular stamp set. I am not creative and it was always nice to see the examples. Thank You.
