Hello Everyone,
I had a great weekend, taught a class on Saturday that went well. Church on Sunday was amazing.
How about that video and post – the WHAT DO YOU WANT? one… Holy Moly! I had no idea it would cause such a stir! I had more comments on that video and blog post than any of my other video’s or posts. I even got HATE comments! LOL. So here is what I know for sure:
A) There were so many opinions that it would be impossible to please/meet everyone’s needs and wants. But a running theme was – simple how to’s and more scrapbooking stuff
B) Some feel my videos are below a professional standard. To address this I would say, I have a 3 yr old and I am a stay at home wife and Mom, who is also heavily involved in church and runs a home based business. I don’t always have time to produce the most professional videos. My goal is for you to connect to me and see that I am human. My life is “normal” as is yours. You will most likely never see a “perfect” video from me. You will however get to know me on a personal level which I feel is more valuable, but that’s just me. Oh and I don’t have the money for fancy expensive lighting and post production products.
C) I don’t say my name cheery enough! LOL … I will work on that
D) Yes I am a Stampin Up demo, and that is what my blog is about. Do you know why I am a Stampin’ Up Demo? Because I love their products and desired to send my child to preschool and we could not afford to do so on just my husbands income. So in an effort to stay at home with her but also send her to preschool 2 days a week I started my Stampin’ Up business. I have been able to pay for her tuition to school on my income from Stampin’ Up and then some! Plus I am doing what I love at the same time – crafting! Because I chose the path of selling Stampin’ Up products does not make me a “sell out” .. When I say I love a product I mean it! I am honest in what I like and you will NEVER hear me say I love or like a product unless I really do. And if it’s NOT up to par I will be honest about that as well.
I have learned so much from all of your comments and I truly appreciate them. I am so thankful to have people out in the world that care about my business succeeding! My customers are invaluable to me..
Everyone who left a comment will receive a card in the mail from me if you send me an email with your mailing address..

Don’t let the haters get you down! 🙂 I like your videos because they are real. If I were brave enough to try doing video demos I would aspire to do as well as yours, I’m sure. Glad you had so much response!
