My Stampin' Pretty Blog (visit www.stampinpretty.com) is dedicated to sharing  everything I know and continue to learn about the craft of rubber stamping and card making.  I thoroughly enjoy giving and receiving advice from my many virtual stamping "buddies."  

Being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is so rewarding. Not only do I get to be creative every day, I also get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my on-line customers and friends.

 

INTERESTS: Long walks with my pug, Isabel. Watching "Project Runway" with my 14 year old daughter, Caroline. "Flipping" real estate with my husband, Scott. Yoga, biking, reading.

QUICK BIO: Married to Scott since 1989. Daughter, Caroline (1994), swims competitively and aspires to be a writer.

FUN FACT: I’m a real estate broker and owner (along with my husband) of Madison Dream Homes, Inc., Madison, Wisconsin. I’m technically the President, since Scott had another appointment the day I signed the incorporation papers with the attorney . . . and someone simply had to be named President :) I was a featured Realtor on the HGTV show "What You Get For the Money" when they filmed in Madison, Wisconsin.

MY BACKGROUND: After 13 years of 60 hour work weeks, I took a "breather" from residential real estate in 2004. My "breather" has evolved into early retirement (I love it). However, I remain active on the Realtor Board of Directors for South Central Wisconsin and do the web design and search engine optimization for the company and our team members.

In 2006, I attended a Stampin’ Up! party out of "obligation" to my darling sister and it turned into a passion. I became completely enamored by the fun, beautiful and creative ideas. My love story with Stampin’ Up! continued to blossom. In 2007, I began a long term relationship with the 100’s of artful stamps and perfectly coordinated accessories, as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.  Today, my group of demos, the Stampin' Pretty Pals, continues to grow and I'm having a ball blogging and creating!
