Once in a while, someone will ask me why I am involved with Stampin' Up!. There are multiple reasons, but mainly, it's because of them. Those 3 sweet little faces.
I started Stampin' Up! almost 5 years ago when Will wasn't quite one. I really wanted to scrapbook all of his cute little memories. You see, I've always been a creative person. It's something I have to have in my life. Before Will was born, I was doing a lot of sewing and painted crafts - think snowman, painted signs, etc. Once he came along I packed all of it up and put it in the closet. Then I became miserable. Just ask my husband. One day, I flipped my lid and blew up. I closed myself in my craft room and made some curtains that day. It fulfilled me. It gave me some self worth, a sense of accomplishment. It wasn't long after that that I took a card class at the local junior college with a then co-worker. Let me tell you, in a matter of minutes, my bucket was filled! Not long after that I was invited to a Stampin' Up! workshop. Wow! There were all of these really great things in a catalog - and those items could be delivered to my door. We didn't have a scrapbook shop in our town, and the stores that did happen to sell scrapping supplies had dated items that weren't of great quality. It took me a month - I did some research, discovered some blogs, and was hooked. I called the demonstrator and signed up. I wanted those high quality products at a discount. At the time I was working full time, but knew I really wanted to be home with Will. I was missing so much of him growing up while I was at work. So, with a bit of work, I continued to grow my business, and today, I'm lucky enough to be able to stay home with those 3 cuties!
With a little more work, I'm going to earn a trip for my husband and me to:
