FEB 1999  - Just signed up!  Can’t wait for my kit to arrive!  I think I can do one party a month.

JULY 2000- Just returned from my first Stampin’ Up! convention!  WOW!  Three events a month is easy to do around my work and social life.

JUNE 2001-JUNE 2003 - I’m Vice President and then State President for Beta Sigma Phi.  Lots of traveling but it’s still fun to stamp with my friends once a month.

SEPT 2003- Lights, camera, action!  I got to tape a segment with Carol Duvall for her Holiday Workshop on HGTV!

APRIL 2004- I’m kickin’ the day job to the curb.  I believe being a full time Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is the right thing for me.  I’m tired of being a square peg in a corporate round hole.

JULY 2005- This is enough to take my breath away!  I received what some say is Stampin’ Up!’s highest honor, the Heart of Stampin’ Up! Award!  They only give it to 2 out of 50,000 Demonstrators annually.  I’m wearing that heart award necklace every day!

NOVEMBER 2005 - A little 8 week old Jack Russell comes to live with us.  He’s so cute!  I just HAVE to call him Stamper!

MAR 2006 - Cecil & I enjoy our first Stampin’ Up! cruise.  We spent his birthday on our way to the Mexican Riviera with two of my best friends.  Made new ones too!  Gotta love that.   www.stamperdog.com goes live on the web.  What a resourceful dog!

APR 2007 - Our second Stampin’ Up! cruise is to the Panama Canal just after our 25th Wedding Anniversary.  We made beautiful stops to the Bahamas & Aruba.

JULY 2007 - In July 2006, I was #94 in the United States.  This year, I made U.S. Demonstrator of the Year #68 out of over 40,000 and a position in the Founder’s Circle!  I never believed I’d ever be where I am now.  Everyone should try this!

SEPT 2007 - Enjoyed my first Founder’s Circle retreat to Lake Powell, Utah.  BEAUTIFUL!  Stampin’ Up! takes me all these places I probably never would’ve seen otherwise. 

MAR 2008 - New York City and cruise to Bermuda!  I thank God every day for allowing me to do this.

MARCH 2009 - What an AWESOME time we had with an ocean front room on the Big Island of Hawaii!  Kona was beautiful.  Making new & renewing old friendships is the BEST part.

AUGUST 2009 - I call Cecil from the Awards Night.  My knees were shaking as I stood on stage as #7 Demonstrator of the Year (U.S.).  To top that off, I was asked to be a part of the Advisory Board for the coming 12 months.  I must be in Heaven!  It just doesn't get any better than this!  Wish you were there to share it with me.  Can't wait to attend the Founder's Circle Retreat in St. George, Utah & Advisory Board Retreat in Salt Lake next month!

Looking forward to SPRING 2010 when we'll be flying to Puerto Rico to cruise the Southern Caribbean!  It's hard to believe how stamps & ink have made such an impact on our lives AND travels!
