New Year's Eve is a good time to talk about beginnings and endings.
April 14, 2013 marked a beginning for me. That is the day I received an email from Jill Foster inviting me to join their first ever "Stamp Squad". This card is the one I made for the Penny Black blog the day I was introduced.

That was the beginning and here I am at the ending. They say "all good things must come to an end", and this has truly been a good thing! I have been encouraged and inspired by my fellow stamp squad members Penny, Lin, Greta and Rosemary. Jill Foster and Elizabeth Allan have continued to be excited, enthusiastic and encouraging about my work. I have learned so much from these very talented ladies, not all of it stamping related!! Penny Black headquarters has been very generous in providing stamps and dies for us to play with. I thank them all for an amazing experience.
And here is the ending: my last card as a member of the Stamp Squad.
