Various forms of Crafting and Creating have always been a part of my life, and as my circumstances changed, I was delighted to make it a larger part through becoming an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in 2015.
Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is so rewarding. Not only do I get to be creative every day, I also get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends. For me, helping someone put together that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.
BIO –
Married in 2002 to Alan and we moved to a property just outside of Daylesford, where we developed a potato paddock into an Olive Grove with a B&B and shop. This kept us very busy, but I still loved to craft including making cards, jewellery, photos and paintings, which we sold in our shop along with our Extra Virgin Olive Oil and our Marinated Olives.
In 2009, we fostered Isobella, who was 4 days old. She is now permanently with us, and I have been fortunate to be at home with her, while creating and crafting with Stampin’Up!
