And there she is… Her Royal Highness, Queen of Jammer Town. Many know her as Blooms in a Box. Quite a sight, isn’t she? Here is a not so rare (apparently) glimpse of the Queen doing what she does best. I have been thinking a lot about Jammer Town and by the responses out there, it sounds like there are more people there than we realized. There may be some of you out there that aren’t sure if you are “ Jammer Girls” or not, so to help you decide, I have put together a little “assessment” for you to check and see. This small sampling of observations by no means fully encompasses the Jammer spirit, but it will give you a pretty good idea of where you stand. So without further ado, I give you “You Might Be a Jammer Girl…”
You Might Be a Jammer GirlÂ….
1) If you own a different pair of slippers for each jammer uniform you own and they ALL have glitter or paper bits stuck to them, you might be a Jammer Girl!
2) If you have more crafting supplies in your dining room than Hobby Lobby, you might be a Jammer Girl!
3) If you can look at a stash of die cuts and embellishments and remember exactly where and when you bought them or who gave them to you but have a hard time remembering to turn the dishwasher on, you might be a Jammer Girl
4) If you have actually had an “intervention” because you hoard more designer paper than you use, you might be a Jammer Girl!
5) If you had to add an extra room on your house just to hold your embossing folders (Holstein), then you might be a Jammer Girl!
6) If your “dream vacation” is your husband going golfing for the day while you stay behind in your pjs and craft all day, then you might be a Jammer Girl!
7) If you have ever even considered the thought of using your husbandÂ’s new leaf blower to clean out your craft room OR to get the Glossy Accents to dry faster, you might be a Jammer Girl!
If your house is on the “Tour of Homes” map because of your Nestabilities collection, you might be a Jammer Girl!
9) If your husband has more handmade cards than he does lures in his tackle box, you might be a Jammer Girl!
10) If youÂ’ve ever raided your husbandÂ’s tool chest for new embellishment ideas, you might be a Jammer Girl!
11) If you have ever spent all day stamping in your jammers only to stop, go take a shower, put on a fresh pair of jammers and return to the craft room, you might be a Jammer Girl!
12) If you have ever used Stampin’ Up colors in your every day conversations (“Man, that sure is a nasty lookin’ bruise….kind of a combination of Elegant Eggplant, Rich Razzleberry, and Summer Starfruit”), you might be a Jammer Girl!
13) If you hear the words “Estate Sale” and immediately think “Vintage Embellishments”, you might be a Jammer Girl!
14) If you could tie all of your ribbons and twines from end to end and circle the earth TWICE, you might be a Jammer Girl!
And this one is my personal favoriteÂ….
15) If you’ve ever pulled into a parking spot at Michael’s and from his little car seat your two year old son has chimed, “We’re Home”, you might be a Jammer Girl! (….lol…that ACTUALLY HAPPENED to my dear SIL and my sweet nephew!)
So Jammer Girls, lets unite. There is definitely strength in numbers. There is NO shame in spending a leisurely day crafting to your heartÂ’s content in your jammers. Stamp On, my friendsÂ….stamp on!
Pssst Pat- IÂ’ll bet thatÂ’s what youÂ’re doinÂ’ up there isnÂ’t it? Trying to see how many of these things youÂ’ve doneÂ…lol! You are a bird in this worldÂ…yes, a bird in this world! Love ya, girl!

What a hoot. Your card is super gorgeous, and your story is so funny that I have tears in my eyes. I can also report that you could open a campus in Australia. I ticked almost everything on the list, sadly we don't have the Mother Ship here but we have a good exchange rate and buy heaps of goodies online. My santa wish this year is for Michaels to open an on-line craft store. Hugs from Oz.
