Never did I anticipate that my little stamping hobby would grow into a business that changed my life. The real jewel wasn’t recognition or income. It was about connecting with other stampers, making new friends and sharing our mutual passion for paper, stamps and ink. In the process, my wonderful downline, the Stampin’ Pretty Pals, came together.
The Pals live nationwide but stay virtually connected daily with papercrafting ideas, friendship and support. However, when there’s a chance to get together “live” at Stampin’ Up! events, we rally hard to make it happen! Over 50 of us attended the Stampin’ Up! Convention last month. I was the lucky recipient of many swap cards and thank yous from the Pals (a few of these arrived by mail). I treasure every hand made inch and am so excited to share these cards and the Pals amazing talent with you today. “WOW!” is an understatement!
