1988: 25 years ago, in 1988, Stampin' Up! was born... Shelli and her sister LaVonne started Stampin' Up! in their living room, and WOW HOW IT HAS GROWN!!
1993: 20 years ago, I was introduced to Stampin' Up! in 1993 .. my sister-in-law, Tami, sent me a catalog and said, "I know you like stamping.. I went to this party and got you this catalog.. I think you will like their products". I called Sandy, who had placed her info on the back of the catalog, and I started ordering Stampin' Up! products.
1995: Two years later, in 1995, I signed up to be a demonstrator with Sandy, never even having been to a workshop! I vividly remember telling my husband that I might have to take $$ out of savings to ensure that I would fulfill the $100 a month quota (back then)... but, I sold $1,000+ my very first month and have never looked back!
I do remember holding multiple workshops every week "back then" and hauling load after load of every stamping product I owned into the hostesses home.. (oh my!).... no computer, no email, no website.. we called Stampin' Up! to place orders and Linnie was the only one who ever answered the phone.. she made sure she knew every one of us! All of our orders were either placed by calling Stampin' Up! or faxing in our orders. During busy ordering times like during Sale a Bration, I'd put all my paperwork in my fax machine with all the orders, press "send", and go to bed, hoping that sometime during the night it would actually go through!
One of my funniest memories was at the 1997 (I think) Convention in Vegas, there was an annoucement that Stampin' Up! was going to have a "website"... hmmmm I thought to myself.. exactly WHAT IS A WEBSITE and How is that different from email?????? I got up the nerve to go ask the man sitting by the computer in the Make & Take area .. I am sure I don't even remember WHAT he told me but I DID ASK HIM "what exactly is a website?". Oh ya... things have CHANGED!
Today: I am still as passionate today about sharing what I LOVE TO DO with others and HELPING others achieve what they need, as I have always been. I will be completing my 18th year with Stampin' Up! this June... and I look foward to serving you for another 18 years!
Stampin' Up! has been a HUGE blessing to our family.. making friends all over the country with other demonstrators and their families, learning the value of SERVICE to others, going on cruises to amazing places, and on trips all over the US, meeting and getting to know the corporate team and staff at Stampin' Up!, being able to help support my family in this time of economic hardship, and the list goes on.
