My First Post

I am excited to announce the beginning of my blog, The Simple and Creative Corner.  Here will be where I will share my love for Stampin' Up!  I have been a demonstrator for 11 years and have been a hobbyist for the last several years.  I am excited and motivated to turn my passion into a business.  I will be holding classes, and am available to come to your home or other venue, to share how simple it is to create beautiful cards or other projects.
