I was introduced to Stampin' Up! at a business networking group.  I became hooked when I realized how the paper and ink are coordinated, making projects come out fantastic with very little effort.  I was simply a customer for many years.  I started a monthly crop at my church to help an older lady get out of her house.  That was over 15 years ago and we continue to meet.  But during those crops, I always found myself helping others and my demonstrator remarked that I was a good teacher.  So, she pushed me to start a class.  Within a year of that, I was offering the 3 classes each month that I currently have.

I truly enjoy meeting new people, making new friends (I now have SEVERAL great friends I would not have met any other way!) and sharing my love of creating.  We joke that the card classes are really therapy in disguise!  We have some great ladies and even some guys who come, but are always welcoming to new people.  So don't be shy!
