Introduction please!

So this is all new to me.  I would like to try to increase my online presence.  Let me introduce myself!  My name is Karen Lopez and I am an Independent Demonstrator for Stampin' Up!.  I was first introduced to Stampin' Up! by a co-worker in 2002 and instantly fell in love with stamping.   I was single and had a full time job but this allowed me to get out and socialize with other creative ladies.  In the years that followed I decided to become a demonstrator if for nothing else but the discount!  I tried my hand at parties and had a few but it was not the success I had hoped it would be.  I think that our area just doesn't have much of an interest in paper crafting and the economy was horrible.  I ended up dropping my demonstratorship but continued to love and use the products.  I enjoyed what I was doing but life intervenes.  I still crafted but not as much.  My son was born in 2012 and my crafting really took a back burner.  In 2014 I decided I wanted to get back into crafting so I signed back up!  Next month I celebrate 5 years as a demonstrator!  In 2017 I got my first recruit.  I was so excited! My child is in elementary school and I LOVE creating treats for his class!  I have been getting my name out there by doing craft fairs and I hope by creating this blog I can expand my downline and make this into a business for when I retire from my full time job. 

I hope you join me and get inspiration from my crafts!
