GIU Week begins, Day 1

 Hello all! I hope you are doing great I am so excited to be the Growing in Unity Girl this week. I am currently in the wonderful country of Turkiye (where I have been spending every summer for many years).  I buy tons of wonderful lace here and sell it on Etsy during the regular year.

I have some amazing Unity projects to sharing with you and I hope you will love them.  Please forgive me if my time is off, Turkiye is 8 hours different than America.

For Day one I have to share this beautiful girl stamp, the sentiment on the card says, "All I want is to be together with you."  Another thing I do in summertime is leave a lot of cards on my blog for my DH to see.  That way he gets a little message from me.

This stamp comes from a set called "Your Future Needs You."  You can find it HERE.  It's just so very expressive without even seeing her face.  What a great stamp!

Be sure to leave a comment on my blog everday this week for a chance to win a prize from Unity Stamps!

Did you see my GIU introduction? It was posted on the FB page but I thought I would share it here for my followers who missed it

 

Hi!  My name is Holley.  I am a big crafting fan who came across card making 24 years ago when I went into a little scrapbook store in Austin, TX.  Man, was I hooked after that!  Who knew one tiny brass stencil set would bloom into a such a fun hobby?  I started my blog for stamping 14 years ago and I post a new creation everyday.  Wow is it fun to look back and see how I have changed and what I have learned. 

I currently have the pleasure of working at my local Elementary School as a Special Needs Paraprofessional for the Deaf-and-Hard of Hearing Department.  I work with 2 year olds for half a day.  It's my pleasure.  I'm a former Electrical Engineer who worked for huge companies like Dell, NASA, US Military.

I am a HUGE Unity stamp fan, I adore all their amazing artists.  Their quality is top notch and they have the best variety.  I can't wait for you to see my creations this week.   http://holleybarnhartsblog.blogspot.com

Cheers, Holley

 p.s. This photo was both taken then made for me by a dear friend in Istanbul, Turkiye who calls me the lace queen because I travel there for 2 months a year to buy amazing lace for my store on Etsy.  In the picture I am looking down into my Turkish coffee cup to read my fortune.
