 Here is my story of how I became a Stampin' Up Demonstrator.  I will celebrate my 5th anniversary in April as being a Stampin' Up Demonstrator.

I became a demonstration about a month after my mother passed away with Dementia.  I had been taking care of her in my home for about 2 years and I must admit it was very challenging at times.  Then one day she collapsed and we had to let her go.  I needed to fill a void and I had been to several workshops already and really enjoyed cardmaking and sharing it with others.  So in April of 2005 I became a demonstrator and I have enjoyed it immensely ever since.  I had no long terms goals, I just wanted to be a Hobby Demo and do just enough to feed my habit and stay active.

I had my first Open House and invited all my neighbors, friends and family.  They had never stamped before but was very gracious and came to see what it was all about.  A small group of neighbors decided to give it a try and a monthly workshop was born.  A year passes and the group decided they wanted a little more and formed a Stamp Club.  This is where a group of ladies share being a hostess each month and receives all the benefits that hosting a workshop brings.  Well to say the least it is in my blood now so I decided to take it up a notch and start my very own blog.  I now get to share what I love with many people over the internet and make many more friends.

Every year at this during Sale a Bration, Stampin' Up offers a very special Demonstrator Starter Kit, and this year is no exception.  You will receive a 15% discount right off the top and you can customize your kit with the products that you need but still follow the guidelines of the kit.  But as your special gift SU will also let you pick any stamp set ($47.95 value) in the Idea Book and Catalog. Click here for more deets.
