Occassions Mini Swap

Josee — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 15:51:38 +0000

I have to say…I haven’t done much stamping this week. It’s been a very busy week for this Ottawa Mom!!! I’m sure most of you understand that March Break, with everyone home, does NOT allow for much stamping. I did manage to sneak in a lovely visit with one of my favourite stampers, Andrea Walford, who was in Ottawa visiting her parents. Andrea is from Cambridge, ON…so, we don’t get to see each other much. I have to tell you…one of my favourite things about being a demonstrator is all the lovely friendships you make along the way with people you would have never met had it not been for Stampin’ Up! I so lucky to have Stampin’ Up! friends from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island! Plus, I’ve met a ton of ladies from the United States too! How fun to get to know so many through Rubber Stamping!

If you’re looking for more social time- I guarantee you that Stampin’ Up! will get you that. From attending classes, to joining a stampers club, to becoming a Demonstrator…there’s lots of chances for "YOU TIME!"

I’ll have more time to stamp and share with you next week…but, for now- I’ll be sharing some great samples from my latest demonstrator card swap from the Occassions Mini Catalogue!
