For easy reference, here is Erin's discussion question for episode number 15:

This is a hobby has been one of the few that has stuck around. It wasn't a fad that I got into, but rather a lifelong activity that I will always participate in. And I see my stamps as a whole collection rather than a rotating inventory where things go out (buy, sell, trade forums, yard sales, giving to friends) as often as they come in.  And so therefore, now that I'm fully committed, I shop a bit differently.

So, tell me how you shop. How do you decide to purchase your stamp sets? And for you old timers who have been doing this awhile, how have your shopping habits changed? Can't wait to hear your answers. I've always believed that a percentage of the enjoyment in this hobby is the shopping. Feel free to spill the beans, because you are in good company.

Please call in to 301-799-8338 and answer this episode's discussion question: 

This month, I'm interested in hearing about what you do to rejuvenate your creativity. I've found that if I take longer breaks between stamping spurts, I have no creative fatigue when I go back to it. It's something I've learned that really works for me after years and years of doing this. In particular, I find that nothing, absolutely nothing, ruins a good creative high than trying to ride that wave and force something more to be made. Isn't there a saying that goes something like "leave the party, when you are still having fun?". That's what it is for me. Disaster results whenever I go against that. Best to walk away, do something else, spend some time with friends and family, get some chores done. And come back to it in a few days. Wish it wasn't so finicky, but that's what I've got working for me.

So, are you continually creative? Or do you need breaks? And what do you do to rejuvenate yourself? Call into 301-799-8338 and let me know. If I use your response in the next podcast, you might be our randomly selected winner of a stamp set of your choice. Got nothing to lose, so call in and leave me a message.
