Today is my Stampin’ Up! Anniversary and it was 15 years ago that I joined! 

I’m going to get a little wordy today … so forgive me in advance!!

For those of you that are just joining in…here’s my story…  I only joined to get the discount because I wanted EVERYTHING in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog!! 

That’s why I always encourage hobby demos to join my team!! I’m not saying I don’t want to recruit business demonstrators because I do!!! But, I also know that I joined only for the discount and look what happened.   You can never count anyone out!

With all that being said…. being a business demonstrator is WORK.  But it’s work I LOVE! 

Recently I took on the task of helping my daughter Brooke build a blog and start a home based business and what I always come back to is… do you love it? If not, move on and find something you do! I’ve also learned that Brooke is like many of the people I’ve trained, she doesn’t want to put anything out until it’s perfect. OMG … it will never be perfect, just do it and improve it when you can.  I have failed at more things than I’ve succeeded, but it’s worth it because I’m doing what I love! 

Here’s a quote from Steve Jobs (October 4th, 2016)

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.”

Here’s my story…

  • I joined Stampin’ Up! on October 30, 2002
  • Started my Chic n Scratch blog on August 14, 2006
  • Filmed my 1st You Tube video on December 9, 2007
  • Hit One Million in Sales on October 20, 2014
  • If you would like to check out my Stampin’ Up! demonstrator resume, click here.

And… I’m hard at work trying to reach my 2nd million in sales so that I can hopefully design another Bella & Friends Stamp Set (Bella & more friends with accessories … Framelits would be nice too, oh and let’s not forget Elvis!!). 

Enough about me and on to the fun part … Blog Candy
