Barbara Bruder

Villa Hills, Kentucky USA

Here's what Barbara shared with us:

My name is Barbara Bruder and I hail from northern Kentucky. Being an ippity chick, I love to show off the wonderful and diversified ippity stamps. {ippity} and Unity stamps are so well made and so versatile and each line compliments the other. What a great find for me when I happened upon ippity and had the ability to become one of the select few chicks.  I've been stamping for 15+ years and have a great time. What a wonderful way to express yourself, give inspiration to others and to give joy to a card recipent. Sign up to be a follower on my blogs and don't forget to visit my blogs for inspiration.

Isn't she just the sweetest?  Check out Barbara's blogs here:
