It’s been 10 Years!!

This is how long I've been a demonstrator….I was trying to find a picture of me at my first convention–my sister (who was a demonstrator with me back then) but then I realized that I had a FILM camera for my first convention…you know..the kind you had to develop!!  How crazy is that?  Luckily things have changed because I usually take upwards of 1000 pictures when I go now!! 🙂

Here is one from 2005–that is me and Beate…some of you may know her…she is a fellow demonstrator and an amazing artist!!  It feels liket that picture was taken just yesterday…

How fun!

This picture was from Leadership last month–these are some of my demonstrator friends with me!!  From Left to right is Kimberly, Me, Lisa, and Maxine.

I think I've really come a LONG, LONG way since I started Stampin Up–I actually never intended to do much with it…I started when Andy was in Grad School and I was teaching Biology in California.  I LOVED stamping and so I thought I'd just do one or two parties before I quit…well,……10 years later I've earned 4 cruises, been a top demonstrator in our company and have met countless friends and built a thriving business!!  What a dream?!

Now, in honor of this momentus occasion, I have a couple of specials–these will be available THIS WEEK ONLY and only through me!
