You are going to want to read through the end......
7 years ago today, I was sitting in my friend's truck, while we were driving through a HORRENDOUS storm, one of the worst to hit Las Vegas in years - scenes from it were broadcasted nationally as people, cars, even firetrucks found themselves stranded in flash flood waters. I was on my way to "some party". She was bringing me as a guest to get a free gift. As we tried to quickly duck in the house to avoid completely looking like drowned rats, I was really wondering if it was going to be worth it. I was two months away from my wedding and had a lot to do. The hostess opened her door and invited us in to a large dining room table with these large papers at every seat. Within moments I held in my hand a small block of wood that would change my life.
You see (as you may have already guessed) that was the day I attended my first Stampin' Up! party. I was hooked. I ad a huge wishlist and wanted that catalog. However, as I was getting married in two short months my budget did not allow for much. So I scheduled my own Stampin' party so I could have a free catalog and get some of those stamps for free.
My demonstrator moved away shortly after my party and I was afraid that was the end of it. Then a year later, a friend invited me to HER Stampin' Up! party, and I was dragging a friend along. After a year of hostessing - when I was now a mother to an almost 1 year old little boy with another on the way....I signed up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator myself. All I wanted to do was stay at home with my boys and not ask for money out of our single income household budget for my stamping addiction. I never knew how much more it would really become.
I have made hundreds of cards, learned so many tecniques, showed so many projects, made so many friends, and have accomplished so much more than I ever thought possible.
Are you still with me? I hope so...
