I found Stampin' Up! in 2004 when I started a new job at a preschool and they had a monthly club after work. I went to two of these carft nights and said, "Sign me up!" There was no use fighting it. This was for me! And I had I feeling I'd be needing that discount ;)

I only intended to join as a hobby, (and for that discount!), as I could never see myself doing parties and talking in front of a group of people. But, I did end up sharing with my friends and somehow I ended up doing parties... and classes... and more! Over the years, I have had to put stamping on the back burner at different times over the years, but I still love it! I really had no idea that I would still be part of this so many years later. When I think about it, it comes down to a few reasons really:

I'm still in love with the products.
I'm still in love with the company.
It is my "me time." and my creative outlet.

I enjoy being a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends. Helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is a wonderful feeling. After all, creating cards and other projects is about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.
