Try new things

Something I have been wanting to try for a very time but never get around to is rubber stamping. 
Today I found a very inspiring blog called: http://blogdelanine.blogspot.com.es/2008/04/eraser-stamps.html?m=1

I am looking forward to having our second room cleared of all its storage and creating a beautiful,  comfortable creative space to work in. I have been looking at some ideas on Pinterest and I don't know if that is a good or bad thing because some people have really 'WOW' space to work in. I realise they are a tiny minority though.  I will share some here. Would you be interested to see the before and after? Let me know and I will take pictures.
