I am in my fifth year of my stamping hobby. And loving it.

It started small enough - a few stamp sets, some card stock, and a free weekend and I was churning out personalized greeting cards for friends and family.

But there are so many stamp sets that I wanted, and so many things I wanted to create, that it turned out to be cheaper to become a demonstrator and get a company discount. I was already meeting my quota with my own purchases.

But then I started having stamping demonstrations with friends and family, and I got them hooked too. Then I began getting referalls.

Now I'm making enough extra income to pay for my hobby. I have four events scheduled for this month alone, each requiring a day or two of preparation. I'm definitely keeping busy.

And loving it.
