As a demonstrator for over 25 years, I have loved every minute of it.  I began stamping on paper grocery bags (hey, it was "kraft paper").  I would stamp gift tags and use glitter and markers on them.  Several years later a friend introduced me to stamping cards.  I was so excited.  From grocery bag gift tags to greeting cards!  I started learning some new techniques.  I was invited to my first Stampin' Up! workshop and the hostess invited me over prior to the workshop to look at the catalog.  Way back in '96 it was much smaller but I fell in love with it all.  She said she thought I would make a good demonstrator so I was actually ready to sign up before I even met the demonstrator doing our workshop.  

I have developed some fantastic relationships with the people I have met, both as customers and other demonstrators.  What a great way to spend time with my friends. And it is so much FUN!
