Fostering a Pet

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

Today I want to talk to you about fostering a pet. Many shelters give you the option to adopt or to foster a pet. Fostering a pet that has had a difficult time getting adopted can be life changing for you and the pet.

Here are some of the benefits of having a pet:

  • Stress reduction
  • Allergy immunity
  • Social support
  • Exercise

If you would like to read more about the benefits of having a pet please go to https://www.lifehack.org/879382/benefits-of-having-a-pet to read the entire article.

Call your local humane society or shelter to get more information.

Keeping the Stamped Off Image

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today I am going to show you how to use that stamped off image instead of just putting it on your scrap mat.

But first I should probably define what a stamped off image is. It’s when you ink a stamp and then stamp it. And before you clean it you then stamp it again. Sometimes you might huff on it to bring a little bit of life back to the ink. But it is stamped straight with no re-inking. There are times where I have even done this three times.

So for today’s project I stamped with the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad and then stamp again. The mat color is coordinated with the ink color in the middle as well as the embellishments.

When you try this technique please post your project to my page, https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.

Grateful Box

It’s Technique Tuesday! Do you have someone that means a lot to you but you don’t know what to get them? Here’s an idea.

Take a tin, box, bag, or jar (some kind of container) and get our little 3X3 notecards. On the notecards write notes of what they mean to you for a week, month, or certain period of time. (Just try not to repeat.) This will help you to use up those little notecards and will make your special one feel loved and appreciated.

This list of ways to recharge your mind were helpful and hopefully they will be to you as well.

  • Take a bath.
  • Get more sleep.
  • Nap.
  • Exercise.
