Thank you for checking in at my blog. I'm pleased to share with you what's going on in my stamping world, as well as the Stampin' Up!® world in general.

Most of you know I'm a Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. Have been for about 13 years now, so I guess that makes me "almost" an original around here. Like most of us, I started out "just for the demonstrator discount". But looking back, that's certainly not the reason why I've hung around all these years since!

Actually, I've stayed because of all the wonderful ways in which this has touched and blessed my life. I've made a delightful circle of fabulous friends, have had 13 opportunities now to enjoy the awesome annual Stampin' Up! Convention, and have a wonderful nationwide team of demonstrators, know as the Sea to Sea Stampers. Additionally, I've been able to make a business out of the hobby I love, and have built an amazing stamp collection beyond anything I could have *imagined* back in those early days of 1996, when I was invited to my very first workshop! (Oh, and um, there's a really funny story I can share about that workshop, btw; be sure to ask me next time we get together!)

I truly consider myself fortunate to have a "job" doing what I love - and of course I'm anxious to share the Stampin' Up! opportunities with you, too, wherever you may see yourself fitting in. Perhaps that may be as a customer or class attendee, workshop hostess, or maybe even a new demonstrator!

However you feel comfortable associating with the Stampin' Up! family, I hope we'll have the chance to stamp together real soon!
