Stamped Smiles: About Me/Creative Resume

LIFE is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

First and foremost I am a very proud Stay-at-home mother and wife to my family and consider this my most important full-time job that I have! They will always have a number one place in my heart and I am their biggest fan! I have been stamping for several years and will probably always love it! I enjoy sharing and teaching others the satisfaction of learning something new in art form. It all began with a store sighting of rubber stamps and markers! I wasn't sure what to do with everything at first, but I got invited to a Stampin' Up! workshop and after I tried to purchase everything in the catalog, it was time to become a demonstrator to earn a discount on my supplies!! I've branched out in my stamping since then and have been enjoying every minute of it! I have enjoyed many friendships from all over the world because of my blog and sharing my love of crafting with others! I love to see smiles on someone's face when they receive one of my hand-stamped creations! :)

Thanks for your interest in my Stamped Smiles blog and me!
