Hello again…. it’s been cold here, and rainy, and some mornings snow… those overcast types of days we don’t get very often in New Mexico….the days you just want to curl up in a nice warm bed and go back to sleep. Well, my stamp room has been cold and hard to heat up since it’s on the NORTH side of the house.. but I did manage to get out there and photo some of my Bamboo pages I had extras of for my OSA-APE Publishing event. Each year, our OSA group creates a book of art pages with a specific theme. All those who want to participate create their pages then send them to one of the talented ladies who stitches them with covers into a beautiful book! I can’t wait to get mine back and see all the fantastic artwork. This year’s theme was Bamboo and Budha. I only had bamboo stamps so mine are all with bamboo. I used a pack of paper I have bought several years ago called “Far East” collection. They were just the right size for the pages. So every page I sent in, had a different background page with my bamboo stamped and mounted on top of some washi paper and the backgrounds. Here are some of my pages I had left over . I always make extra in case I mess up a page and it’s not up to my standard to send off. 
Be sure to go check out my ETSY shop too.. I have some more calendars for 2012 I added. I am working on more…of a different style. There are still some Christmas items too, books, cards, etc.. they make great last minute stocking stuffers!!
