We had a great time in Akron on April 16 & 17 at the Adventures in Stamping Show. There were 50 vendors there that were selling and demonstrating the newest stamping techniques and products. We saw some familiar friends like Sure Cuts A Lot, Gary Burlin, Eyelet Outlet, and Stamps by Judith. We met some new friends that aren’t too far away from Somerset: 100 Proof Press and Stamp LaJolla.

Talk about a small world. MaryAnn and JP own Stamp LaJolla and guess where they are from: Ashville, OH, also our hometown. What’s even better, they had a Bison Stamp! Some of you may be wondering, “What does that have to do with anything?” Our sons, Cody & Tyler, attend Bethany College in Wheeling, WV. Yep–their mascot is a Bison!!!! I just had to get it! You can check out their website at www.stamplajolla.com. They had lots of cool stuff in their booth. JP hand makes their rubber stamps and they had some very interesting designs. Remember–stamping is not just for cards. You can use stamps in all your scrapbooking pages, too.

Cindy Petal is the owner and operator of the Adventures in Stamping Show. It’s been going on for 16 years and is held at the John Knight Center, close to the University of Akron. You can watch our video on Zaney Girl TV!
