So goodbye then, Simply Stamping. The only magazine I ever took a subscription out on goes down the swanny, apparently due to lack of interest.

Hmm. If there really was no interest in it, then why did I consistently fail to get anything published in it, eh? Eh?? Actually no, don't answer that.

Tell a lie, I did get into the final edition. Just about the same time that its readership finally collapsed. Coincidence? I think not. (Cue hoards of proper art stampers staring mystified at my piece thinking "Has it really come to this?" and returning their mags in protest. I bet it was just like when the Beatles got given the MBE.)

Anyway I don't care. Don't think I'll be an art stamper any more. I've got a nice new Cricut now. Finally, something in my life that listens to what I want! Think I'll go and cut some oversize daisies, maybe a few “It's Your Day!”s. That always makes me feel better.
