'Being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is more than I thought it would or could be....
and more than 10 years later I'm still inspired by it, surprised by it and loving it every day.'
I'm wife to His Awesomeness and mum to two lovely giant boys, Zane & Devon, and I'm also a freelance literary consultant. As happy as I was with these roles, when my boys were small I wanted and needed to add a creative outlet for myself and a way to earn money that wasn't as concentration-heavy as my editing work. The perfect answer was to become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
I had always loved papercraft in all its forms but never seemed to find the time to get much done. I did wonder how I would manage to add another string to my bow but in fact it was easier than I thought. When I became a demonstrator I felt able to prioritise my creative work in a way I never had before. This is what I did so I had to find time to do it! It's amazing what you can find time for when you no longer see it as selfish time out!
And the rewards go far beyond allowing myself to indulge my passion. I get to share it with others and watch as they grow and develop in their skills. There's nothing better than seeing someone get such joy from creations they didn't know they were capable of. Add to that the friendships I've formed with customers and fellow demonstrators, the skills I've learnt, the cards, scrapbook pages, gift and keepsakes I've created and there simply is no looking back.
I'm hooked for life! And now I'm the proud inhabitant of my dream custom-built craft and classroom in Cranbourne North. We designed and built a new house and a must-have was a large, well-lit space to be able to craft and hold classes without interrupting my family's activities OR being interrupted by them! I would love for you to come and spend some time at The Stamper's Mess Classroom with me.
