My Stampin’ Up! Family
Today was my upline's Stamp Share and Shoebox Swap. It was a morning of sharing business tips and creative ideas and an afternoon of making card samples from the new Holiday Mini Catalog.
Here is a picture (L-R) of my upline, Terri, my downline, Autumn, and myself at today's Stamp Share. I believe this is the first time I've posted a picture of my upline on my blog. I have a bad habit of taking pictures of creative projects and forgetting to take pictures of people at Stampin' Up! events. But today, I really wanted Autumn to have a picture of some of her Stampin' Up! family. Autumn is going to attend school in Germany for the next four months. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her. I'm so excited for her, but I'm really going to miss her! I can't wait to hear about her adventures when she returns home.
I have worked in many different jobs before I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Some of those jobs were for a long time (over ten years) and some were for a few months. Some of my previous jobs were for large corporations and some were for very small companies. Not once did the employees or employers refer to themselves as being part of a "family".
There is a mutual appreciation and respect between corporate Stampin' Up! and their demonstrators. Corporate Stampin' Up! would not exist without demonstrators and there would not be demonstrators without corporate Stampin' Up! We depend on each other every day. The "family" atmosphere at Stampin' Up! starts with Shelli Gardner, the co-founder. She is a genuinely warm, caring and friendly person, yet she is a savvy business woman. She goes out of her way to show her love and appreciation to demonstrators and the Stampin' Up! employees. She is an amazing woman!
I feel blessed by the wonderful people that have been brought into my life since I became a demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team and the Stampin' Up! family. Please contact me for more information.
