I have been a Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator since February 2005 when I signed up in California. Little did I know just a few short months later I would find out that my family & I would be moving to Texas. It took a few months later when we were finally all together again the week before Christmas.

With everything that went with moving and selling a house I didn't get much time to stamp with others, when I finally did I just sat back and watched as everyone got excited when the stamp they had inked up produced a beautiful image on their project. That, to me at that moment, was the most fun and satisfying.

I love helping others discover their creative side by being a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends.

Every year I've been on this adventure has been more rewarding than the last. With meeting new people, adding new classes, and holding weekend retreats. And the friendships that have been created, not just my own but theirs with each other.

For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.
