"How much do we like our demonstrators? We like them so much we sometimes get a little carried away."

My goal during the 2010-2011 catalog year is to earn the Disney World trip.  What a dream to take my family there and see those grandgirls faces at the Disney parks.  I'm praying in this picture and now I need to get to work on my sales and recruiting efforts.

My lucky downline, Denise W.,  won this stamp set!  Way to go Denise!

We were all thrilled at the surprise give away to all demonstrators on the last day:  Designer Series Paper, Glass Glitter, a Christmas stamp set and an ink pad.

From L-R are Terry, Jen and myself!

From L-R, Laura, Lisa and my downline, Denise W.

Convention was an awesome experience.  I learned so much from the business classes, received some fabulous swap cards, took hundred's of photo's of creative projects (can there ever be enough?), renewed friendships and made new friends.  My wish is that every one of my customers could join me at Convention at some time.  There is nothing as exciting as a Stampin' Up! Convention.  All you have to do is join the Stampin' Up! family by signing up to be a demonstrator.  Please contact me if you are interested in doing what I do!

I'm sure you can tell from these photo's that I have very serious downline meetings.  Yeah, that's right.  They are all my witnesses to the boring, stiff, quiet meetings.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it!  Actually, my Stampin' DIVA Day is something that I look forward to, as well as my downline.  It is very therapeutic to share our love of papercrafting with each other.  We share our business challenges and business successes.  We share our joys in life, as well as the challenges.  There is a strong bond of friendship between all of us.  I just can't say enough about these wonderful women!  I'd love to have you join my team!  Contact me to find out more information about joining the Stampin' Up! family.

It was so much fun to have time to spend with each other while being creative.  I’m thrilled with all the scrapbook pages I made and the cards for upcoming swaps that I got done.

If you want to join the Stampin’ Up! family and become one of my downline members, please contact me.  You too could attend a future retreat at our cabin!

Last Sunday, was another fabulous day with my downline!  Here are Nancy, Angie, Cyndi, Sue A. and Julianne making their projects.

A yummy potluck dinner shared together.

We also had a brainstorming session during dinner.

My newest downline, Nancy, and myself.  Nancy scored B-I-G points with everyone.  She brought a beautiful fruit pizza, which we all devoured!

I’d love to have you join my team of Fun Lovin’ Inkers, a/k/a Stampin’ DIVA’s.  For more information, click "Join My Team" at the top of this page or email me.  In 13 years of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I have never had anyone regret joining the Stampin’ Up! family.

It was a much smaller group of my downline who were able to make it to my Stampin’ DIVA Day.  We met at lunch time on Super Bowl Sunday, so everyone could be home in time to watch the game.  We had a wonderful time eating, stamping, scrapping and sharing business ideas.

One of the last projects for them was making fabric flower pins using the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine.  They turned out great!  Thanks for a great day gals!

If you have been thinking about becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I would love to have you on my team.  The starter kit is reduced 15% until March 31, plus you get a free stamp set of your choice.  Contact me and I can help answer your questions or concerns.

At this downline meeting, we decided to have a shoebox swap.  Here are Denise, Julianne and Angie stamping away.

Peggy, Sandy and Cyndi are having a great time stamping!

This is our last dinner together at our townhouse.  My  next downline meeting will be at our new house!  I’d love to have you join my team so you can be a part of this wonderful group of demonstrators.

On June 14, eight of my downline came to the cabin for a day of stamping and pampering.  They made the cards from my Appreciation Event, my June Technique Club, plus they made cards using new stamp sets and colors from the 2009-2010 Catalog. 

My Stampin’ DIVA’s:  (L to R) Cyndi, Sue A. Sandy, me, Julianne, Denise, Amy, Diane, Autumn.  Thanks gals for such a special and memorable day!  We plan on having another cabin getaway this Fall.

You can join my team of Stampin’ DIVA’s by taking advantage of the $85 recruiting special that begins July 15.  I am blessed to have such an awesome team of creative demonstrators.  I would love to have you on my team.  Please contact me for more information!

The only reason we stop stamping is to eat!  (L to R) Susie, Denise, Wanda, Julianne, Cyndi, Autumn, Liz, Peggy.  We start the business meeting while we are eating.

Each meeting, someone gets to wear the DIVA crown for the highest sales the previous month.  Peggy came in second place the last two months.  But in January, she pulled out all the stops and was #1!!!!  Go Peggy!

We have a DIVA card swap and the theme was to use the Love You Much Bundle in a non-Valentine card.

Sometimes my DIVA’s are my guinea pigs for projects I’m thinking of offering to my customers.  Here are some purse notebooks they made.  I did challenge them because I had a picture of a purse notebook, but no template or measurements.  They all were up to the challenge.  Here are a few samples of their creativity!
