I love sharing crafting time with other friends, and yet-to-be-friends.  It can be hard to find more time for social engagements and with the pandemic it can be hard to meet in person.  My involvement with Stampin' Up!  is all about connecting  This hobby meets so many needs--for relaxation, creativity, social time and the satisfaction of making a beautiful hand made card or gift -- and then sending it off to lighten someone else's day.

My career as a business owner in a completely different industry can be all consuming.  Stampin’ Up nurtures and inspires my creativity.  I also get to be a coach, sharing techniques, fresh project ideas and encouragement with my friends.  

It’s so easy to create a hand made project!  No extensive art skills needed!  Helping someone get off their busy Silicon Valley treadmill and play with simple tools to create or finish a project for a special occasion or person brings me tons of joy!  Trust me: one doesn’t need to be an artist or spend a lot of money to make really beautiful and fun cards and scrapbooks.
