Oooo, fun survey! I'd love to play along!

- How long have you been stamping? Dabbled forever, but didn't get serious until about 12 years ago.
- Do you have a favorite stamp company? All of them! Currently, probably Lawn Fawn
- Favorite embellishment? This changes, but currently, Baker's Twine and Nuvo drops.
- Favorite type of stamp? Wood, foam mount, PP, bare, other? All of them! I mostly have clear ones, though - easier to use and store.
- Have you ever done a major down size? What?!! And give up my toys?!! (No)
- Prefer card making alone or with others? Really both, for different reasons... but I'm alone most of the time.

- Do you typically use black or colored ink? Both - it really depends on the stamp.
- Baby wipes, stampin scrub, shammy, other? Baby wipes when I'm feeling lazy, otherwise a shammy. Have a scrubbing pad, but need more of the cleaner (or need to learn to make it).
- Sell your cards? Why? Do you know someone who wants to buy them? :lol: Real answer: I've sold a couple, but mostly I'm a bit conflicted about that.
- Are your cards CAS or layered? Mostly layered. I don't think my CAS attempts are very successful.
- Do you ever foresee giving up stamping? Nope. I'm hooked.
