There's just a couple of weeks for Sale-A-Bration and I thought I would just toss this out there - have you ever thought of becoming a SU demonstrator? Sale-A-Bration is a pretty good time to join actually. The price of the starter kit has decreased over the years and you also get to pick what goes in it, which includes two free stamp sets. I'm told that years ago this was not so. Trust me, it's a great deal, even if you want to be hobby demonstrator like me.
Why would you want to be a demonstrator? How about...
- meeting fun new people just like you
- sneak peeks at new products
- quarterly magazine
- loads of tutorials and advice
Why did I become a demonstrator? Well, I mostly wanted to make new friends and I was looking for crafty fun within my neighbourhood instead of having to drive to events on the other side of town. There are Stampin' Up! demonstrators everywhere.
I'm also big into paper crafts and it frustrated me to no end to have a pile of paper and ink that didn't coordinate. My stamping collection was made of random stuff here and there. Once I became a demo I was able to kit up with all the tools I needed. Trust me, anything is 100% more enjoyable when you have the right tools for the right job. Now I can just plan out a card and order all the supplies instead of searching high and low for the right colours or paper and it arrives on my doorstep within a week!
One last thing - it's no pressure. I feel so welcome as a hobby demo by the other ladies on my team. When the time is right I might branch out into parties, but I am good learning for now and that's OK :-)
