My Demonstrator had asked me for over 5 years to become a Demonstrator but I worked full time and only had time to make cards I needed.  Well, in May 2010 I realized I could retire in a year and THEN I would have time to play!!  So I became a Demonstrator in May 2010 and have been having fun ever since.  The Stampin Play Dates where people come to my house and make cards has been wonderfully fun.  I have even designed cards for special occasions such as holidays and wedding invitations,  I love sharing my excitement with others and seeing that first glimpse of "Wow, I made this myself!!!
