Happy 8 year Stampin' Up Anniversary to me!


Hi Friends!
I knew it was coming up but was unsure of the exact date... imagine my surprise when I discovered that my anniversary with Stampin'Up! is today - October 21!  I signed up as a demo in 2011 and it's been a wonderful ride ever since.  I went from signing up for the discount back in 2011 to having my best year ever in 2019 with doubling my team size, becoming Silver Elite for the first time, attending a Center Stage event and even earning the Incentive Trip to Maui for next July!  I am humbled and amazed at what being a demonstrator has brought into my life. I've met people that I would probably never have met if not for our shared love of stamping. I've renewed some old friendships with people that I knew years ago and now we like to stamp together. I've learned an entirely new art form with stamps, ink and paper that I had never dabbled in before. I've learned what I needed to know about social media and realize that you're never done learning with that! I've been able to make some very special cards, scrapbooks, decor pieces and party favors that make me so happy when I think of the event or the recipients. I've befriended others who were lonely and not sure what to do with their empty nest or different life due to retirement, moving or even death in the family.  My stampin' friends and I have marveled several times at what great therapy it is to get together, create something beautiful, laugh and cry together and just share life. There is no down side to my experience so far and I'm so looking forward to many more years. Thank you for any part you've played in my SU journey!  I am so grateful!

Just for fun, I want to share the first three cards I made after becoming a demonstrator and holding my first class. It's a testament to the ease of this hobby that I could design and make these when I knew next to nothing and even better, still appreciate them 8 years later!




I would love to have more people join me on this journey!  Contact me to get your own Stampin'Up! discount or just come along for the ride as a customer!  You won't be sorry!

Hugs and Blessings,
Sarah
