About Me

My photo
I have been a Stampin' Up Demonstrator for almost two years now, and when I signed up it was just for the starter kit and discount on products........ I never imagined it would snowball into being a business like it has. I am a new Mummy to my little boy, Isaac, who is almost four months old now. I am spending my maternity leave enjoying watch him grow up, becoming his own little person, and also trying to build my business up. Stampin' Up! have amazing products and I would love to share my crafting passion with as many people as possible. I am always putting through orders, so if you need anything, or just want some information or advise, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you want to try before you buy, then check out my classes and get booked on.

It's been a while!

Hi there,

Well, time has been passing by and I have been meaning to get my blog sorted out and up to date, but life keeps getting in the way.
Having said that, life is a pretty good excuse!!!!

My baby, or toddler as I should now say, is 15 months old and into EVERYTHING!!!!! 
He certainly keeps me on my toes...........
I have also returned to work 2 days a week, and am currently doing a volunteer breastfeeding peer support cousellors course, and with running more classes than I did before my son was born, the days are definitely full.

You will see from my sidebar that Stampin Up now offer online ordering, and I have my own online store through my own stampin up website.

The link is below, so please pop over for a visit.  
My Stampin Up website is up to date with all of the current offers, promotions, catalogues and even has crafting ideas, and in the next few days will also include details of my upcoming classes!!!!!

Classes are getting booked really early on, so don't delay and miss out.


As ever, if you have any questions do let me know

Thanks
Julie x
