As you can see from the photo beside this text, I'm still struggling to stamp and have it look like an adult did it and not a five-year-old child. I don't know why this is so hard for me, but it totally is.
I guess maybe I just need to sit down and stamp and stamp until I can do it?
Anyway, I'm going to talk about a couple crafting companies, but they did NOT sponsor me. I paid for everything from both of them with my own money. I also bought the Tombow marker pictured, too.
My obsession with the Currently idea started when I saw the Cocoa Daisy Flutterby August Deluxe Journaling Kit, which is apparently impossible to get your hands on? I wait listed myself for it more than once and have never heard back. The Deluxe Journaling Kit had a Currently stamp with Reading, Listening, Watching, and one other event that I can't remember.
I wanted the entire Flutterby kit because I loved the butterflies so much, but most of all, I wanted that stamp. I didn't get it.
Then I heard about a Layle By Mail and that she sells an acrylic pencil board to help stampers get a crisp stamp in a journal. Since I thought this might help me with at least one of my stamping issues, I headed over there to buy it. And while I was there, I took a look around at other things. Because of course I did. :-)
And I found she had a Currently set of stamps. She actually had a Currently bundle of two stamp sets. Since the "Writing" prompt was in set 2, I bought the bundle. I really like this stamp set. It's exactly what I wanted and it's at least as cute as the one I wasn't able to buy from Cocoa Daisy. Layle By Mail also has the added benefit of more prompts. A lot more.
So I guess things worked out for the best. I got the Currently set that I wanted with a ton of more items I can track. I don't want to do twenty things, but maybe in 2026, I can pick a selection that I stamp (and update) every week. That might be an interesting way to keep track of the year.
And of course, just because I didn't get the Cocoa Daisy kit I wanted doesn't mean I didn't get anything. I am now a Creative Kit subscriber. Yeah. This latest hobby of mine is exploding.
