I have enjoyed stamping since I was a little girl.  I remember going to my grandma's house and playing with her rubber stamps for hours and hours. Naturally, when I went to my first Stampin' Up Party, I was in heaven!

Like so many others, I joined Stampin' Up because I wanted a discount on all of their great products. I didn't realize how much I would love planning classes and parties and getting together with friends to stamp.  I love stamping because it gives me a meaningful way to relax and rejuvenate.  It makes me feel creative even though I don't consider myself creative.  I am thrilled with my gorgeous "creations" even when I copy the samples straight out of the catalog!  I also love stamping and being a demonstrator because it gives me the opportunity to get together with friends on a regular basis and do something uplifting and satisyfing.  I have made many of my closest friends through stamping and I hope to make many more.  I love watching class attendees get that thrilled smile on their face when they finish making a card or gift.  For me, stamping is such a sastifying, enjoyable, and let's not forget--addicting--hobby!

Not only do I love stamping, I love the Stampin' Up company!  I don't just love their products, I truly appreciate all they stand for and all the efforts they make to reward their demonstrators, to continually improve the company, and to offer the best materials possible in the paper crafting world.  I love their statement of the heart and have adapted it as my own personal mission statement as I engage in this awesome adventure as a Stampin' Up demonstrator:

"To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments...in this we make a difference."
