It all began in August of 2003 when I was introduced to Stampin' Up! by my neighbor. Soon after I became "addicted" to stamping. 

After a few months of visiting local craft stores, I soon realized how cost effective the Stampin' Up! product line was and found it to be of higher quality. I became a demonstrator in November 2003 as a way to have fun and pay for my stamping supplies. (Who wouldn't want to receive a discount on every purchase? Forget cutting coupons or waiting in line at the store.) 

During my time as a demonstrator, I've enjoyed learning from more experienced stampers as well as teaching those that are new to stamping. I've made many great friends as a result of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. This is a business I can enjoy, feel good about, and still have the time to be a mom. 

I love my Stampin' Up! business so much, that my husband and I have invested in a couple crafting retreat homes in the Colorado mountains. We proudly own and operate the Gingerbread Cottage in Bailey, CO (www.gbcottage.com) since 2012 and Mountains and Memories in Estes Park, CO (www.mountainsandmemories.com) since 2018. Throughout the year, I hosted retreats at both these properties. I would love you and your friends to join us!
