Me in a Minute

Happy Friday crafters..Friday the 13th that is.  Did you all have a good week?  I did.  I got a little crafting in. I am preparing for a Christmas Stamp a Stack card class at the end of the month.  For the class, we will be using all Fun Stampers Journey products and it will surely be a fun time.

Today I just wanted to share with you my "Me In a Minute" for WHY.. I am with Fun Stampers Journey.
.First of all..I LOVE paper crafting..I am motivated by my (A) desire to create pretty things to share with others, and at Fun Stampers Journey, I can  (B) have extra cash to help at home or maybe even take a little vacation.!!
MY Story..
I started paper crafting around 6/7 years ago when a close friend introduced it to me.  I started out 5 years ago as a Close to My Heart consultant.  I grew and learned with the company and loved it. But I later found I truly loved card making mostly and began looking for a company that shared that love like me.  I came across a friend ..Michelle Kinder and she sent me a catalog and the rest is history... I became a coach and now ..My hope is to grow with the company...grow my team and share the wonderful world of paper crafting with mixed media..and make some money while doing it.

I close in saying..now is a great time to join my team..the company has a super super special going on..you only have to pay $25.00 to join FSJ right now.  no where in the industry right now can anyone do that!!!
  Please consider becoming part of my team!!
