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.

It's hard to believe it's September 2016 -- I sound like old people! My life revolves around my husband Dennis, son Christopher (19), fur baby Sanders and my day job (I'm a project manager at Intralox). Don't you love the photo of the Chris, Dennis and me from formal night on the Carnival Dream (July 2016)?

SU has allowed me the flexibiltiy to share my hobby with friends and travel to learn more and get by batteries recharged. I just got back for OnStage Local in Atlanta. It was fabulous! Check out my photos of creations from the talented SU Design Team and demonstrators from across the nation.

Throw back to 2008
I am still flying high from the wonderful birthday present my husband, Dennis, and son, Christopher, gave me. I celebrated the big 5-0 last year. I’ve been saying for a couple of years I wanted to go to Paris. Well, when the dollar took a dive, we rethought our destination and headed for an Alaskan Cruise. I was awestruck by the beauty of the glaciers.

Take a look at some of our photos on my shutterfly site:

Now, it’s back to being a Mom. I’ve got a load of clothes to put in the washer before I go to bed.
