I first became acquainted with SU! about 4 years ago. I was attending a Women's Conference at Tulsa, when I came across a Stampin' Up! booth. I was immediately excited about what I found, and that was before I even sat down and made the make-n-take. I loooved making the make-n-take. It was just a simple 3x3 card, but making it was so much fun!!! She also had retired stamps for sell and clubs to sign up for. The only problem was I don't live in the Tulsa area. I live 2 1/2 hours away in another state. That is a little too far to drive to attend a club, class or workshop.
So I went home, but I didn't forget. For two years I didn't forget, partly because I was receiving emails from the demo who had the booth that I visited. All her emails told about exciting events she was holding, and I was jealous and sad that I couldn't attend.
Finally, I did a search to see if I could find a local demonstrator, and lo and behold I did. I left her a message late on a Saturday and she promptly called me the next day after church. AND SHE HAD A CLUB I COULD JOIN! WOOHOO!! AND SHE WAS ONLY A 30 MINUTE DRIVE AWAY!! WOOHOO AGAIN!!
I began attending her once a month club and looooved it. We made two different cards each month and placed a $15 order. (But really who can only place a $15 order with products as great as SU!'s?) It wasn't long before I began thinking that I needed to become a demonstrator so I could start my own club in my own town of Mansfield. I loved the club I was attending, but why not start my own? So that is what I did. I became a demonstrator in October of 2008 and have been hosting my own club since December of 2008.
I really enjoy being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I love creating and coming up with projects for my group to make each month. We have a great time laughing and creating. If you live in the Mansfield, Arkansas area and would like to attend my club or one of my classes please email me at pjmickle@yahoo.com for more info. I have a Christmas Stamp-A-Stack coming up in early September where we will make a stack of Christmas cards and decorate the envelopes to go with them.
So that is my SU! story. I am so happy that I made the decision to become a demonstrator. I have made a ton of friends that I wouldn't have made otherwise. I get a lot of help, support, and advice from other demonstrators, and the products are the best you can buy.
