Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is so rewarding. Not only do I get to play with all of the fun SU products on my own projects every day, I also get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends.  Of course, I also get to stay home and play with my little chickens....that’s one of them to the left!

For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is a terrific feeling.  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.

The single best way for me to meet new stampers is through home parties.  You and your guests will have a great time! 

 

When my life has me feeling too busy, too tired, too distracted, etc, the first thing to be sacrificed is almost always my own needs.  There is always someone else whose needs must be placed above my own...the kids, the hubby, the elementary school, the neighborhood friends, my mother, my sister, and the list goes on and on.  Cutting out my own hobbies, or even my own sleep (!) is usually quicker and easier than working up my courage to say no to someone else who needs my help, but in the long run, neglecting myself leads to a sense of burnout, making rising to the occasion for others even more difficult.  Thankfully, I have stampin' and some terrific stampin' friends to help me squeeze in some "me" time and keep at the top of my game!

With all of the political & economic talk these days, it seems we are all on a budget, so I am proud to offer several excellent ways to get your stampin' fix while not only keeping spending in check, but even SAVING your family money!  

My classes are filled with opportunities to craft personal and useful gifts for everyone on your list, without spending a fortune. Who says holiday "shopping" has to be a stressful drag!?

I am run a Stampers 6 club with the new catalog....members spread out there spending over 6 months, gradually adding to their stampin' supplies, while they also benefit from some big bonuses....free stamp sets only available to hostesses, plus credit in free merchandise, PLUS extra Sale-A-Bration sets in February and March.  

For those of us who are considering adding larger stampin' supplies to our cache can use a payment plan of sorts...you can get your supplies all in one month, and even spend the generous hostess benefits, while spreading out your payment over 3 or 4 months.  We can even arrange it so that you get an extra 3 stamp sets by ordering in Feb. or March, during our big Sale-A-Bration months.  

I'm happy to offer other ideas, so please come join me for some stampin' fun!  Dianne
