I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for 30 years! Many of my customers have been with me for over 20 years. One of the sweetest is Sue Heckendorf. She recently sent me this card celebrating her soon-to-be great grandchild’s birth. She also shared pictures from a stampin’ event she hosted for the residents of Aspirus Country Gardens in Medford, WI. That surely brightened their day! If this does not show you the love that a hand-stamped card can mean to someone, I don’t know what will. See more like this at stampwithgloria.com. Remember, I’m offering a new newsletter. If you’re interested, email me at gh.istt@gmail.com to subscribe.
I first met Gloria in the 1980s when,as a Brownie GS Leader I attended card/scrapbooking work shops she was hosting at our Girl Scout Council’s Leadership Conference for girls and adults. I became addicted to the quality, vesatility, and creative joy I got from SU products.They took me back to my paper doll days. I have followed Gloria through the years to learn to get to the best use these products and to enhance my own creativity.
These Valentine’s did bring great joy to the recipients who have had a really difficult time through Covid quarantine and their continued isolation. I would encourage anyone who loves paper crafting to contact a local facility and check with them reqarding their policies and the number of residents. Many facilities are relaxing a bit as residents are being vaccinated.I have done this before. It brings joy to many who have few contacts with the outside world. A handmade card says, “I care. You are not alone.”
I made extra’s for staff who expressed their delight at being thanked in a personal way for doing their jobs.
