A replacement rubber stamp for labels

I didn't get anything done last evening because I went to the funeral home. My nephew, Michael the musician, girlfriend's father passed away. He had cancer for several years and was only 59. I was there for a couple hours visiting with the girlfriend's family, my brother, SIL, nephew and lots of friends of the band who showed up. Once I got home, I picked up the mail which included the rubber stamp I had bought. I can now get the label made for the green zig zag quilt. The rubber stamp that I use for my labels is worn out. It reads "One who sleeps under a quilt is comforted by love".

I was lucky last week to find one that was hardly used on ebay. The information said that this stamp was made in 1999. I had looked in the past for one of these with no luck so I was shocked when this one popped up.  I guess I got my money's worth out of the first one!

I decided to test it out with the new ink pad and ink I bought.

The ink on my old ink pad was goopy and thick. With a worn stamp and sticky, goopy ink, I was getting very bad impressions.

Now on my search for a punch, I found what I think will work and once it arrives, I will post about that.
