So, I missed my two year Blogging Anniversary by two weeks. Oops! But it all worked out since I only recently made this little anniversary card:
Some images copyright Stampin’ Up! 1990-2007
You may notice this card was inspired by another swiped Cuttlebug card I made: How to Distress a Cuttlebug.
So, anyway…
Back on May 2, 2005, I began a new little experiment. You see, I never was a very successful Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I felt so frustrated that I had a million great ideas, but no one wanted to play along with me—I could dream up Stamp Camps and Technique Classes but none of my customers would come! So, I decided to take my love of teaching to the internet.
At first, I wrote with a mind towards serving my customers who were on my newsletter list. But I don’t know that any of them ever stopped by to visit my blog! I did however start to attract readers and friends from SCS. So I began to change my tact—How could I help other stampers to be better stampers? ‘Cause I just love to talk about rubber stamping! I know I’m no cardmaking Super Star; I’m just average. But I certainly can talk. Ha!
So, happy two years to me! What a blast it’s been. Every time I get positive feedback from a reader, it just makes my day. I’ll give a little squeal of delight and keep on dreaming up new things to talk about. Thanks for joining me on my stamping adventures. Here’s to even more fun ahead!
Happy stamping!
I can’t believe no one wanted to go “play stamping” (as Rowan would say) with you! Their loss, I guess!
Your blog is wonderful! Congratulations on 2 years!
Wow! I can’t believe no one would come to Stamp Camp & Technique Classes. I know I would have been first in line. Oh well, glad you joined the blogging world instead - now I can! Congratulations & Happy late Anniversary!!!
Sure wish you lived closer, I would love to come to your Stamp classes. You do a great job in teaching. Congratulations on your 2 year blog and I look forward to many more lessons. Thanks, Nicole.
Your customers obviously don’t like stamping the way we all do…..If I lived closer I would attend your camps. I think you mkae cute cards and you have helped to teach me things I didn’t know. Happy Anniversary
Congratulations on your blogging anniversary! You do a great job teaching all of us. Their loss was our gain. Keep up the great work.

Congrats on your 2nd Anniversary…..I too wish you lived closer I would come to your classes in a heartbeat….you
are a very talented women….and most of all, I LOVE YOUR
tutorials…I am a hands on person and cannot read directions
not that I cannot read but …. I find difficulty I have to
have step by step instructions with pictures….tfs
On the SU Demo statement. I too am experiencing the same problem. I am doing everything possible to get my business
on the ground again…when I first started it was a go! But
four years later I cannot seem to get an workshops, or any
one to attend my classes I love stamping and sharing my love
of stamping I have so many ideas bottled up and no one to teach it to….unfortunately I work two other jobs and just do not have time for a blog…
Are you still a demo? Can you share your secrets on how to keep going I am getting nervous now as I use to have classes and they would purchase from me to keep me going now I have do not have anything….
Enough of my rambling…..again Congrats on your anniversary!
