Recently I had been asked why I do Stampin' Up! If you'll indulge me for a moment..., I'd be happy to share my "why".
A few weeks ago, I received a Thank You card (and subsequent communications) from a member of my downline, Jenny Maetzold that I wanted to share with you (with her permission of course).
Dawn -
I wanted to take a minute to "Thank You!" for being my upline. For making someone (me) in our group (stamping club), join Stampin' Up! 2-1/2 years ago. It has really added alot to my life. Given me a purpose of my own, given me an "outing" out of my crazy house a couple times a month, and allowed me to make new friendships and make old ones even stronger. Also I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all you do for your downline, the monthly meetings, tons of project ideas and business tips, and most importantly your friendship. You are the best Dawn! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all you do!

Jenny -
I'm was so touched by your card you gave me. Thank you so much for sharing how much Stampin' Up! has touched your life! You are the perfect example of why I think Stampin' Up! has the potential to impact people in such a positive way, and in ways they may have never thought of. Not everyone understands it at first (or ever). I'm beyond happy that Stampin' Up! has given you a purpose - I couldn't ask for more than that! (I'm misty-eyed even writing this). To me...you're a HUGE Stampin' Up! success story.
Your friend,
Dawn
Thank you, Dawn!
I too believe that sometimes the choices you make (ie: for me - joining SU) can truely impact your life in ways you never thought it would. Initially discounts were great, that is why I joined, but to inspire your (my) customers, that is what really has made me happy in the end. That they look forward to club gatherings, get excited making cards, learning new techniques. I never imagined myself as a "public" speaker (even though the club is in my home) or a teacher of any sort, but here I am, teaching techniques and enjoying it! And I must say, you are my inspiration and model. You are a fabulous upline and I am so thankful for all you do for us. By the way, the Nov quarterly was awesome!!! It is truely amazing that people from all backgrounds and walks of life can come together and be joined by stamping (of all things!!)
Jenny
Thank you, Jenny!
It's just SO cool that you are living proof of exactly what I envision for people to experience when they join Stampin' Up! I'm so proud of you!!!
Dawn
I'm thankful that Jenny (and all of my downline friends) took that leap and joined my Stampin' Up! family!
I've heard from people, that sometimes they feel their demonstrator is pushing Stampin' Up! at them. When in fact, it's just may be the opposite. We see someone (like Jenny or maybe even yourself), where Stampin' Up! could make a difference in their life and we feel obligated to help them along this road of fun, friendships and personal growth. Shouldn't we at least offer that kind of opportunity to everyone? Don't YOU deserve that opportunity?
Before my eyes, I've seen the changes in Jenny that she describes. Her Stampin' Up! business is an easy model to copy. She has one club (a group of friends) that meet every other month. She easily meets her minimums and has earned recognitions along the way too! I'm so happy for her! So maybe if you are like Jenny and can recite all of the names of the Stampin' Up! colors, have catalog pages memorized and can finish my sentences at a workshop...you too should consider the Stampin' Up! possibilities!
This is my WHY, the reason I do Stampin' Up!
If you think now is the time to join Stampin' Up!, and you feel I'm the fit for you...I'd love to have you join my DOstamperSTARS team!
