Hello Michelle,
I’ve only recently begun stamping, but since I’ve discovered your blog, it’s been truly inspiring! I keep looking at your blog and thinking “I wish I could have thought of that.” but now I am branching out and trying to come up with more ways to get the most out of my inks and stamps. Keep up the wonderful work!
Hi Michelle! I hope you have a great time with your sister! I have to tell you that I made a card last night with a moon, trees, shadows, etc….all “Zindorf” techniques…and it turned out GREAT! Thanks for all your inspiration!
This is so beautiful. I love the coloring. I just found your blog through someone else’s blog. What great tutorials you have for wonderful techniques. I will be checking back often.
I love this. Thank you for giving me ideas on how to use my little stampin up bird and leaves. I have used him quite a bit but I love what you have done. I would love to win this
I love this bookmark. I make bookmarks to give to people so they have something they can use instead of throwing out a card. I also love birds so this bookmark is defintitely for me!
Have a fabulous time with your sister and happy stamping! P.S. I taught a stampscapes class last night but I showed some of my “Zindorf” cards to the group when we had our “show and tell”. They loved them. Thanks so much.

God gave you a talent. I am so glad to see you using it to the fullest. This bookmark is great. I would be honored to share it with stamping friends here in Central IL. Enjoy your day with your sister.
LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!! Being an advid watcher and lover of birds (currently have three large parrots and three chickens), this bookmarker would “just fit in.” It is good you are taking the time to spend with your sister (no matter what you two do).

Enjoy the time with your sister. I had a FABULOUS time at your beginner class last Saturday. Took it with my sister and our best friend. (We were the rowdy ones in the corner!) It was great for the three of us to get away, even if it was a 3 1/2hr trip. We talked, we shopped, we ate, we played…but not necessarily in that order.
HUGS….
Your sister’s visiting and SHE STAMPS??? Oh….I’m jealous, on both counts, lol! Have a wonderful weekend, you two!

Michelle, you are so inspiring. I have been a SU Demo for 5 years and really never paid attention to the landscape stamps. Now you have me hooked! When I see your cards I feel like I am literally looking at the true scene and not a card. Kudos to you. You are a master at braying. Would you consider a trip to Las Vegas for a class? LOL. I would love to see a tutorial on the bookmark if you ever have time after your sister leaves. Have fun with her……you deserve it!
Please please please pick me. That is my most favorite set and I am your greatest fan. I would soooo love to be able to share your work here in New Zealand. My Upine has asked me to show our group how to do your cards and I am doing one with that little bird in the tree. Have a great day judy
Beautiful! I’ve been wanting to get the Lovely as a Tree set and I see how you use it so often. I’ve got to put it at the top of my list!

What a lovely bookmark!!! Oh, how I would love to own it! Even on a teeny tiny pallet, you create such beauty. Though chances are that I will not win this little lovely, you’ve inspired me yet again. Thank you!
Love the bookkmark. You give such depth to your artwork. Your work looks like pen and ink drawings colored with watercolor. I enjoy looking at each of your creations. If I only had a sister, I would share your blog with her. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.
I just adore this bookmark. Great job!! Thank you for all you do Michelle and have a great visit with your sister.
You’re so lucky to have a sister to stamp with you! My sisters don’t have any interest in it at all except the one that lives 10 hours away and when she’s here, it’s so hectic, we don’t get any time to craft! I would love to win your little birdie bookmark! Kathy Eddy
I think this bird wants to come live with me! My DH just bought me Stephen King’s nesest collection of short stories. I can’t stamp because I am recoverying from surgery on my right hand and arm. Reading IS the next best thing! This is a beautiful little gift idea! Thanks for sharing!
Love the beautiful bookmark. If I were lucky enough to win this, I would have it on display to admire. Your amazing work has inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. Happy stamping!!
Oh my gosh! This is too stinkin’ cute! And since I have a ton of books to read, i wouldn’t mind these cute little birds to keep me company! Good job, Michelle!
I LOVE this bookmark! And I LOVE to read! Pick me, pretty please! It would be so fabulous to have a Zindorf original!!!
Hi Michelle, my sister is the one who hooked me on cardmaking and scrapbooking long after she started. I love getting to craft with her only we live so far apart. I would love to own your bookmark.
I saw the bird and said, “I have to have that stamp” and then remembered that I do have that stamp. You made it brand new. It’s really lovely. Now if I could just colour like that! – Nimmy
What a beautiful bookmark. Who wouldn’t want to read with this beauty holding your place?
I hope you have a wonderful visit with your sister.
berta

Lovely – as usual. You are so talented! I hope to take one of your classes once my life calms down. I hope you will continue to offer classes in the Spring.
Reading is a favorite past time, right up there with stamping so how cool would it be to have a Zindorf bookmark.

Boy would I love to win a Zindorf original! You do beautiful work Michelle. Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome bookmark!
This bookmark is lovely — as all of your work. I would be overwhelmed beyond measure to be the lucky winner. Thanks for sharing all your tutorials and enjoy the time stamping with your sister.
Michelle This is so precious. It’s so nice that your sister is in town and you get to spend time with her. Cherish all the moments you can. I have a sister in FL. that has MS and would give anything if I could visit with her. Sisters are such wonderful friends.
Have a great time together!

I hope you’re having a fun time with your sis! Your bookmark is just beautiful and the little bird is just precious! Your work is such an inspiration! Thanks for the great tutorials!
How nice are you. Always thinking of your fan club members by offering us either a tutorial or blog candy. Even when family is in town for a visit. Please include me on your beautiful book mark. I would be honored to have this marking my pages
Great bookmark and would make an equally great card!!! Love it.
Have fun stamping and visiting with your sister. Thanks for putting this lovely bookmark up as blog candy…it’s beautiful!
You certainly have a following Michelle! I really love your tutorials! The enticing blog candy is always fun too! I always hope I get randomly selected! (It would be thrilling to get a real Zindorf work of art)!!
I read a zillion books a year, so a cool book mark would be terrific!
I used to live in Cripple Creek, Colorado, and loved it. Mostly because it was in the mountains! The Sangre De Cristo’s are awesome! So, tell your sister “Hi!” from a fellow Colorado person!
Thanks for doing what you do!
Gillian
Receiving one of your designs would be a highlight…this design is lovely and useful…
Thanks for doing so much to keep us inspired.
Oh how pretty! I would have to frame this and not use it in a book, because I seem to loose the ones I use.
Thanks for a chance to win, and I hope you have a great time with your sister!
OMG!!! Your cards and projects are just so beautiful. One day I will try doing this. I wish you were closer to me so that I could take a class. I look forward everyday to your new projects!!!
What a gorgeous bookmark, I’d love for it to be keeping my place in my latest book
Have a great time with your sister.
What a delightful card!!! I have studied enough of your wonderful tutorials that I can probably just about figure it out – thanks for the supply list. Oh yeah, and pick me!!!!!!
Oh MY! What a splendid bookmark. I am afraid I would sit and stare at it and not read the book. Thanks for the chance to win it.
wow love the bookmark, so pretty.im a big reader would be nice to win this .
Hi Michelle~
What a beautiful bookmark! I’d love to have this in my favorite read!
hugs,
~jeanie.
This bookmark would inspire me to actually read more.
I would *love* to have this bookmark! You are an amazing artist!
Aren’t sisters just grand! I know I just love stamping with mine. Enjoy your time together, it is priceless!
P.S. Your bookmark is lovely. You have such a nice perspective in your work. Thanks for sharing!
Michelle…..I’ve got almost all these same supplies. How’s come they never all fall together like this for me????? Absolutely gorgeous. I’d be honored to place this in any book I own….or maybe just display it on a shelf where everyone can see it! I’m green with envy at your work & have learned alot from you!!
Michelle, Your bookmark is beautiful. All of you work is so pretty. I am so close to my sisters but just can’t get them in stamping. I am so glad I learned about stamping. I have a Birthday Card Ministry that I just love. I send out 225-275 cards every quarter to eleven different locations. I send them to children homes, nursing homes, assisted living and veteran homes. By learning to stamp, this help me to start my Birhday Card Ministry. Joyce
Family ALWAYS comes first – and sisters are super special! Enjoy your time!!
Hugs to you, Linda
Wow Michelle, thank you for the oportunity to win your beautiful bookmard. I’d die if I won it!!!!!
Please enjoy the time with your sister – there is nothing more important than family.

Candy

Lovely card! Gotta love sisters. I only have one, and she’s pretty great! She stamps too. So have lots of fun.
Hello Again. Once again I can’t say enough about how beautiful your cards are, and your bookmark. I hope I win – it may get me to start reading more – but that will interfere with my stamping. Darn!! I hate to pick, because stamping always win out over anything and everything. Again – I love your website. Bernice
You can even make a bookmark look amazing! Gorgeous…
I’d give it a 10……PERFECT…and then some!
I love birds. My backyard is designed as an English garden and it attracts many birds and butterflies. This card is so cute. I love your eye for color!
What else can I say? Fabulous!
Your talent continues to amaze me. Thank you for inspiring me over and over again.
I think I might just have to use the bookmark as a precious piece of art if I win!!!!!
These little fellows are so cute! Down here in Australia it’s a completely different type of bird call that wakes me up in the mornings, but just as joyous! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent with us all.
Michelle,
As usual, this is a beautiful bookmark. I understand you taking advantage of every minute you have to stamp with your sister. My sister is in Indiana and I treasure our visits when we get to “play together”. I hope you enjoy your visit and get in lots of play time. Have a wonderful weekend.
Randa
What a talented artist you are..I just found this page through SCS !! and have spent hours this AM “wowing” at your cards. I gotta get my brayer out and start using it!!
Have a fun weekend. Cya!!
Have fun stamping with your sister. Would love to see what the two of you turn out. If she is half as talented as you, the work should be awesome. Thank you for your daily tutorials. It’s the first thing I look at each day. I’d be so proud to own a Michelle Zindorf creation, so I’m hoping to win the bookmark! Marliese
This is beautiful! I love those birds. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us.
Julie Frokjer

Beautiful Bookmark! Your work is awesome!
Your art work never ceases to amaze me. What an inspiration you are. Thank you
What a beautiful bookmark!
After taking your beginning and advanced classes, I think I can determine how you made it. I’d love to own a “Zindorf original” to treasure.
thanks so much.
susie
Your blending is absolutely awesome!
I love birds! My sister-in-law is an avid bird watcher. She travels all over the US to bird watch. If I could bear parting with it, I might give it to her for Christmas. Really pretty! Love your tutorials. I envy your sister.
Stunning! As is all you work. Love the color combination. The sunrise and sunset are my favorite source of inspiration. Enjoy you time stamping with you sister!
Many thanks for sharing you talent with us.
Laura Favre
Blog Candy sure brings out the responses, huh? Well there is certainly nothing prettier to try to win than an original Zindorf. We all want a piece of Michelle, well not flesh, but creativity. What a lovely bookmark too! I wish I had a sister to do things with……I have four brothers and everything I have ever done with them, I have been told on at every family dinner my entire life. Maybe even with a sister that would happen! Anyway, you ladies have a great time together!
Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful blog with all the amazing tutorials. You are such an inspiration to us all. It would be an honor to win one of your designs.
I hope that I’m the lucky one!
Thanks,
-Cher
Wil miss another tutorial, but you need to enjoy your time w/ your sister. Have a great time. Now, enter me into your drawing for the blog candy!
Wow so many who want a Zindorf creation! Would love to win it!
Robbie
What a beautiful bookmark. I enjoy reading your tutorials but understand that family comes first. Have fun spending time with your sister
My greatest wish is to some day be able to assimilate your technique of coloring. It’s a daily ritual to study your post and practice what your instructing. Learning from you is better than having to go to classes. It’s a pleasure to welcome you every day into my home via blogland. I return now to study your lovely bookmarker.
As always this is totally fabulous! I realy admire your style and love all of your creations. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
I love birds and I love this bookmark. Have a wonderful time with your sister. Thank you for all your inspiration. I look forward to your blog every day!!!!

So very pretty!
The bookmark is beautiful, & I think you should do as many fun things with your sis as possible. I can’t wait to head to my hometown for Thanksgiving weekend and see my sister and mom (and the rest of the family, too – dad, brother, bro-inlaw, nephews)!!
Holy Mackerel! Lots and lots of people want an original Zindorf… me too!
Enjoy your visit!
Oh my this is just Beautiful, would love to have the chance to own this piece of artwork! Hope you are enjoying your time with your sister
Hope you have a great time with your sister! How cool to be able to stamp with her! My sister is not a creative type and doesn’t find crafting worth her time.
Beautiful bookmark!
Shawn K.
Beautiful as always! I would be honored to own this piece of artwork of you, your work is amazing! Enjoy your sisters stay.
Michelle, what a beautiful bookmark. It would be welcomed in any book. The birds, the sunrise, fruit and the colors are all so calming. I hope I win!
What a cheerful scene! I’d love to have those birds marking the place in my book|
Such a beautiful bookmark! I wish I had this set! Your color blending and imagination is so refreshing and wonderful!
Another great card! Thanks for the opportunity to win Michelle.
Oh, you’ve used two of my all time favorite stamp sets! How beautiful! My sister doesn’t love stamping quite like I do, but she is very busy. I’m hoping we’ll have time to stamp together one of these days. Nothing better than things done with a sister. This bookmark would make an equally beautiful card. Got my fingers crossed!
Ahhh…to have a Zindorf of my very own…sigh. LOL! Have a great visit with your sister!
Brandi
Hope you have a wonderful visit with your sister!
Wow, you have a GIANT fan club. Obviously, I am one too. Gorgeous piece of work — although I’d put it on the wall as art rather than let it be hidden in a book. Hope you and your sister have a wonderful visit. Your devoted following will be waiting whenever you get back to us. Cheers, Cindy
I love this bookmark. I would be honored to win it! Hope you have lots of fun with your sister.
This is the loveliest tag I have ever seen. I just love the image.
