Let me start by saying how much I dislike camping outside. I’m not really a girly girl but I like the comforts of home. I did, however, have a great time with my church family!

I just want to close by encouraging you all to try something new this week. It’s so fun learning new talents, hobbies, and skills. I am 44 and just learned how to knit this weekend! It’s nice to have another hobby I can add to my collection and also now I have something else in common with my big sister.
What is something that you would like to learn?

I’ve been knitting since I was a teenager and have always loved it. I also enjoy knitting with your sister’s yarn. It knits up beautifully and is soft.
Julie H says
Its beginning to look like Christmas
Thanks for the chance to win this set

I am not a camping girl either. I tell my husband the Holiday Inn is my kind of camping.
I’m glad you enjoyed it with your Church Friends though.
Susie says
I don’t like to camp Looks like you had fun

Kimberly Jeppson says
I’ve been teaching myself how to knit these past couple of weeks also. I have been working on my 1st pair of socks…I’m still on the first one! I think I am getting the hang of it though!
Thanks for all of your great card ideas, and have a great week!
Robyn Cardon says
I’m going to try sock next!
Marian BIEGEL says
Congrats on learning how to knit.
Kathy Schenck says
We are camping now near W. Glacier in Montana. We have been evacuated from Seeley Lake where our cabin is due to the Rice Ridge fire that was moving away from us but the wind changed. Praying for rain for all of Montana and for the flooding to end in Texas. Kathy
Patti Bomgardner says
You certainly were very busy. My mom taught me how to knit when i was a kid. Never really got into it. One thing i would love to learn is ball room dancing.
Janelle Hibbard says
Have camped some in the past, but prefer a condo near a beach!! I have done lots of crafts in my years, but mostly do scrapbooking and card-making now. Thanks for the chance to win another great stamp set from Stampin Up!
Penny Laschanzky says
I’ve never tackled knitting…..looks like you took to it right away! My other hobby is vinyl crafts. I make many things and sell to friends, locals. and at craft shows. Keeps me busy, especially around holidays & back to school. 🙂 It’s great to have creative outlets!
Bridget Constant says
Can’t wait to here your announcement on Thursday!

Always fun to learn something new. I think knitting is the only needlework I don’t do. Glad you had fun.
Bernadette Davidson says
I know why I’m surprised you didn’t know how to knit already…. enjoy it. Loving the new holiday catalog and can’t wait to order.
Jean Schultz says
I’m with you…..hate to camp! Just curious….what are you knitting? Love the stamp set. Hoping you’ll do a video letting us know which stamp sets you’ll be using in classes.
Lorri Ellett says
Glad you had a fun weekend!
val swetnam says
Love the yarn colors you are knitting with… looks like it’s going to be a really cute hat! LOVE camping, don’t even care where just love going and exploring…..Utah has some beautiful parks for camping and exploring. Excited to do the paper/product share. We can all learn something new every day…when we stop learning we stop living.
Barbara Sprofera says
I knit and crochet. My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 5 and that’s a very long time ago!
Julie says
Thanks for the chance to win this stamp set. Hope I’m the lucky winner ?
Hazel Hall says
I learned to knit and crochet on my own, but my youngest daughter taught me how to quilt and oldest daughter taught me many techniques in quilting. I learned to play several different instruments at the age of 38. I am now 78 and trying to learn how to play a fiddle. I believe you are never too old to learn.
Nancy C. says
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! We used to camp and enjoyed it so much! This is a wonderful stamp set – thanks for the opportunity to win it!

Camping is not my thing either unless it’s in a fully equipped large RV. 🙂 Cool on learning how to knit.
Love the stamp set…thanks for the chance to win!
Elizabeth Lumsden says
I’m glad your weekend was good! I spent mine holed up at home with 2 stir crazy dogs, hiding from the wind and the rain here in the Austin area. We didn’t suffer like the coastal residents did but it was still scary!
Gina Wrenn says
Love this stamp set… Thank you for giving us a chance to win it
Sherry Woodard says
I love to scrapbook — I just want to learn how to get more Creative!
I’m so not into camping — not now — not ever! We even had a camping trailer back in the day — and I was always so happy to get back home! It was always so much work! Packing the tailor after shopping for food for days. Doing the cooking and cleaning the entire time we were in the cold woods! Then coming home and having to unpack and clean the trailer! I’m glad the rest of my family enjoyed it! ?
Leslie S. says
We used to camp all the time but as I got older I just didn’t want to sleep on the ground anymore. My knees aren’t what they used to be! Looks like you picked up knitting just fine Robyn, good for you. My mom used to knit and my grandmother crocheted but sadly I never learned either of those. Have a great week and thank you for the chance to win that amazing set.
Marylin H Tucker says
Robyn, Thanks for the updates. I feel the same way about camping. It is way too much work. I’ll also enjoy being home more. Knitting is so fun and there are so many free patterns on the net. The last thing I made was the circle scarf and a felted hat. Enjoy! Marylin T
Silvia Payan says
I made a 3 layered jello this weekend for a party. Never made one before. I was afraid it fall apart as I flipped it, but it looked great.

Love that stamp set! So cute! I would love to learn to decorate cakes! Need to try that soon.

We camped a great deal when our kids were younger. In 1990 we traveled from Indiana to Alaska using a canvas tent! Thanks for all your chances to win great products.
Mariah says
For years, I have wanted to learn photography and cake decorating. One day I will find the time…
Jennifer Earley says
Sounds like a fun weekend! I enjoy camping outside…in a tent…but only for a day or two…as long as I can shower somewhere and I’m good to go! Congratulations to the winners! Thanks for that stamp set giveaway…I love it!!

Sheila A White says
I learned how to sew lap quilts, made 7 of them for brother and sisters. Also made a king size memory quilt out of my dad’s shirts (who passed away) for my mom. Was alot of work and haven’t done it since. Maybe I can get that out and try it again.
Sarah Schmidt says
I would love to learn how to knit. I taught myself how to cross stitch years ago so that is my other hobby that I have besides paper crafting.
Julie spady says
I love camping. We just got back from a week in grants pass Oregon. It was hot and a little smoky but still fun with family.
Beth Ann Halvorson says
Glad you had a good weekend! Every so often my Mom will re-teach me to knit or crochet, but I don’t do it enough and then forget again! I would like to get a sewing machine and learn some simple sewing, something else I used to know how to do a long time ago!!
