If you know me at all, you will quickly see how much I LOVE being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! The past six years have zoomed by and in the past three my business has grown so much my life has become amazing! My All About Stamping team of demonstrators are some of the best friends I have and then there's my customers - the best EVER!
I thought I would share with you several valuable lessons I have learned as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator:
I have learned:
- that there are not enough hours in a lifetime to make all of the projects that I will see and want to copy
- there are no mistakes in stamping.........even as I wonder," How will I fix this?".......there is always a way
-
that no matter how exhausted you are from your day, a chance to sneak away to stamp with friends will suddenly revive you (and chocolate makes it ever so much better!)
- that your children may tease you or complain about all your supplies and your stamping, but they love being able to use your punches, your card stock, your SNAIL, your Sticky Strip, etc. to create school projects
- that I can't mount stamps straight no matter how hard I try. But, I've also learned how to use my Stamp-a-ma-jig!
- how to ask if you have anything "liquid, fragile, perishable, or potentially hazardous" in a package you are trying to mail - yes, I go to the post office a lot!
- that cats love to drag ribbon off the spools and all around the house and will manage to do so no matter where you try to hide the spool. A second lesson: ribbon is not digestible!
- that stampers are great recyclers. Who else can find a way to use an empty paint can, empty Pringles tube, empty toilet paper roll, empty Starbucks glass bottle, etc.?
- that I no longer think in color terms of red, yellow, blue - yes, it is now Riding Hood Red, Real Red or Ruby Red and does it go well with the Olive Green, Garden Green or maybe Kiwi Kiss?
-
that people are so thrilled with themselves when they complete their first project!
- Having a downline is so rewarding and their feedback/input can be so uplifting for me!
- that you can meet and become friends with people you would have NEVER met otherwise!
-
that being a Stampin Up demonstrator is the best job in the world!
