It started about twelve years ago on a camping trip!  I was watching my friend and now upline stamp and create and I thought that this was something that I could do.  I bought the Starter Kit and was my own best customer until my husband was laid off from his job. I had to quit being a Stampin" Up! Demonstrator and boy did I miss it terribly!  My upline suggested that I hold classes and even though I was so scared I started with holding a monthly Technique Class with about ten ladies. That was ten years ago and the rest you could say is history!! I then added a Kit Class where we make 15 cards, 5 designs and everything is cut and scored just for you. All of my classes are available as a kit and can be mailed.  I have made some great friends and I love what I do!!  Teaching the Monthly Technique Class has been so much fun and now that I am retired, it is the best part time job ever!
