This is my very first post and hopefully the first of many.  I became a Stampin Up! demonstrator in November 2011 as a "hobbyist".  On September 22nd of this year I was invited to a Stampin Up! Regional Convention in Chattanooga, TN by one of my new friends who has been a demonstrator for 9 years (thanks Sharon!)  I cannot tell you how much fun this was.  I became recharged and decided to share what I love with others.  One of the many things that I enjoyed about Convention is the swaps.  With around 300 people at convention came that many new ideas (as well as that many new friends).  It was great connecting and sharing with others and learning new techniques.  If you enjoy creating homemade cards and gifts and would like to see or purchase Stampin Up! products please click on one of the logos to the right.  You can also follow my blog by adding your email address in the box on the right.  Enjoy!
