The Creating Smiles Team

I fell in love with stamping many many years ago and in 1995 I joined Close To My Heart (known as D.O.T.S. at that time) as
a demonstrator. I loved it so much that I stayed for 29 years, only leaving when the company retired. But in an amazing
move, CTMH and Stampin’ Up came together to take care of us, the orphaned consultants. 
Believe me when I tell you, I LOVE my new home!

I’ve been with Stampin’ Up a little over a year now, and stamping/scrapping “professionally” for over 30 years. I believe that qualifies
me to tell you that I honestly feel you will love being a demonstrator and being part of this amazing community of men and women.
That's what keeps me inspired and has given me joy for all these years.

I originally became a demonstrator as a “hobbyist.”  I was someone who wanted to save some money and get all the cute stamps and
beautiful papers at a discount.  That largely still describes me but I love growing a team to share my passion with as well.  Most of my
team have been hobbyists but occasionally someone will sprout wings and fly to the top. That is something I can assist with and it's so
rewarding to be part of that journey. Whatever your motivation, if you’ve clicked on that join button for more information and are reading
this book I seem to be writing here, I encourage you to give it a go. There really is no down-side, the worst that can happen is you get
a lot of fun product for a small price. The best that can happen is you find an awesome creative outlet that causes you to soar and
many new friends. 

This is my invitation to you to join the Creating Smiles Team. We are fun, often sassy and very creative. I am here to support you on
this new journey, as well as the wonderful staff and employees of Stampin' Up. Lets exercise those creative muscles together,
make some wonderful new friends and new memories!  You can contact me here with any questions you have.
I'd really like to chat with you!
