I thought I had sent this out a while ago and just realized that I never hit the publish button. I apologize for the delay in you getting this information.
I would like to start by saying thank you to each and everyone of you for your support in my Stampin' Up! business. I can't thank all of you enough for all of your encouragement and most of all, your friendship. The friends I have made are so special to me.
All of you know, I love Stampin' Up! as a company and all of their products. They truly have the best paper crafting products around. When I started my Stampin' Scrapper business over 9 years ago, I would have never imagined the awesome team I would have, all the wonderful opportunities I have been able to participate in and meet so many wonderful people from all over the world. Some of my best friends, I have met through Stampin' Up!
With that being said, I have made a decision, a very difficult decision, to stop doing Stampin' Up! as a business. I have been praying about this decision, talking with mentors, close friends and my family for probably the last 6 months. Please know that I did not make this decision easily, there have been a lot of tears over this decision. I love paper crafting, but at this time, I need to concentrate on my personal health.
I will still be a demonstrator, but I will be what they call a hobby demo. You will still be able to order from me, I just won't be doing a lot of the things I do now. I will not be having anymore classes and I will be stopping blogging soon.
I will be sending out emails as things change. I am learning how to do more things through my Stampin' Up! website and will be using that for almost all my communications. I will continue to have my Facebook Stampin Scrapper page, so keep checking that for updates too.
Again, please know that I appreciate all of you so much and am so blessed that you have selected me to be your demonstrator.
Here are some questions that I got with my original email that I want to share with you too.
The most popular question is, are you still going to be a demonstrator? Absolutely! I love being a demonstrator and getting discounts on my favorite products.
Can I still order from you? Absolutely! The easiest way to order will be online as I won't be ordering as often. I will put it on my Facebook page when I am going to place orders, so that if you want to order through me at that time you can.
Will you still give us customer service? Absolutely! That will not change one bit. I will still give you the best customer service that I can.
Will you still let us know when there are specials, promotions, etc from Stampin' Up!? Absolutely! Who doesn't want to know when you can save money, especially on craft products. I will be letting you know through my Stampin' Scrapper Facebook page and I will be sending out emails. I will be changing the service I use for my emails, but I will still be sending them out.
Will you still have a team? Absolutely! As long as they want to be a demonstrator, I will still be their leader.
The biggest change that you are going to see from me is that I will not be having anymore classes or events and I will not be blogging or doing Facebook lives. I will occasionally post to Pinterest, not sure what I am going to do about Instagram.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I am happy to answer them for you.
Sending love and hugs to all of you!
Happy Stampin!
I'm sad to hear this news but fully understand. I am a Hobby Demonstrator too but pick up so many ideas ( and tutorials!) from so many business demonstrators. I will miss that but health is much more important. That too is what I understand as life presents more health challenges as time go by. Even as a Hobby Demonstrator I find myself overwhelmed with how much time this hobby takes and it's toll on my health. So, best of luck to you and I admire the decision you have made.
