More than ten years ago, becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator was my excuse to gather with friends when I was a stay at home mom. I decided that joining Stampin' Up! would allow me to get to be creative every day, and I soon found it to be so rewarding. I get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends, as well as my team members. For me, helping someone put together that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps, paper and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love. Over the years Stampin' Up! has fed my crafting habit, helped me earn a little extra money, and I've made lasting friendships with some of the most creative and supportive women out there. I often wonder how I ever lived without them!
