This year I celebrated 16 years as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator! I am amazed that I am still a demo and how quickly the time has passed! There have been times when discouragement and life has tempted me to give it up and then I think about all the wonderful people who support me and I just can’t do it! I look forward to my Open House every year! I probably put way too much time and effort into it…but I have always wanted it to be special and fun! It is one way I can say “Thank You” to everyone who has supported me whether it is the occasional order, being a hostess, a regular customer, a class attendee, a hostess club member, etc. No matter how you have supported me through the years I want to say thanks and show my appreciation! I haven’t done much stamping to share with you because I have been preparing for my open house which will be Saturday, August 24th from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. This year we will be celebrating 16 years of good times! This is the signage and my fall class schedules that I have prepared in My Digital Studio. I created 3 swatch books in My Digital Studio that I am having professionally printed in MDS. These are of past events and for those that have been with me it will be fun to reminisce. For those who haven’t been with me as long…it will be fun for them to see my past themes! Back in the beginning I got the wild hair to do my open house with a theme…and I have done that at my annual open house every year since! I have usually picked out a stamp set as my theme…and it has always been fun to come up with ideas. This year I picked the Happy Hour Set. For me…stamping is my happy hour! I will share some of the themes with you in future blog posts! My husband and boys helped quite a bit in the past…I haven’t used them so much the past few years…the boys have grown up and moved on. Jim usually ends up helping with all the cleaning and set up!
I am looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it this year!
