I
started my
Stampin' Up!®
business after my third daughter was born. I knew I wanted to quit
my full time job as a tax accountant and venture into something new
without paying to put my 3 daughters in day care, dry cleaning, and
take out food.
When my best friend, Joyce, sent me the
Stampin' Up!
catalog and recruit packet, I had no idea what I was looking at and
placed it all between my cookbooks. Rarely reaching for those
cookbooks, I also rarely thought about
Stampin' Up!,
until one day I went to the craft store to get poster board and
heard a lot of ladies making a fuss over wanting to learn how to
stamp. Immediately, I thought that this could be a great business
opportunity if I could just learn how to stamp.
Owning one
Stampin' Up!
stamp ("Home Tweet Home") and one ink pad (Brilliant Blue), I not
only thought I could stamp, but was thrilled that I made 25 "Just
Moved" post cards. I went on to emboss 50 Baby Announcements. My
attitude was pretty much, "Okay, I love this. This is cool. I want
to do this now and learn as I go along." My friends, I am still
learning!
My
husband, Jake, (whom I amuse each day with this, I'm sure) told me
to "go for it" at the beginning. He has been patient and supportive.
For that, I have earned 12 out of 12 Cruises and brought him with me
on each trip I opted to take. We've taken our daughters on 3. Stampin' Up!
is amazingly generous and has showered us with rewards. God has been
so good to us!
My beginning with
Stampin' Up!
followed a move and a new baby. But over the past 12 years, I was to
experience 3 more moves, no more babies. I love I can take this
business with me wherever I go and that I am my own boss. My career
personal sales went over 700K last year and I have recruited over
250 demonstrators to join in on the fun.
I am passionate about what I do, love that it goes alongside my
family life, and truly am blessed with the great people I've met and
get to support in my group.
This is a little about me. Let me share some pictures with you.
