Finally I get to show you the stamp set I designed as part of my Million Dollar Sales accomplishment. Yesterday was the first day demonstrators could start ordering it. I am so excited.
You will want to check on September 1, when you can finally order, as I will have lots to share with you using this set.
In the meantime, let me tell give you a little history about the set. I hit my million dollar milestone a year ago last March. That is how long it takes for a set to get into a catalog.
The set was being dreamed about long before I hit the million dollar goal. In fact, Jay and I had a plan for this set. He was to have retired this year, and we were going to travel. He knew I wouldn't be able to give Stampin' Up! up, so we decided we could visit wineries in our travels, and I could teach "Sip & Stamp Classes".
Unfortunately our plans for retirement were not God's plan, and He took Jay home 2 years ago before this set became reality. So you will notice on the wine bottle the vintage year is the year Jay and I were married 1975. Just a small remembrance. Love that man to pieces.
Here I am in Thailand with Co-Founder of Stampin' Up! Shelli Gardner just before I did my stamp presentation for the demonstrators on the incentive trip.
Here I am stamping and displaying my samples. What an honor it has been to see my name next to my stamp set in the Holiday Catalog. If you have purchased from my in the last 6 months your Holiday Catalog should be in your mailbox the middle of the month.
Linda, Congratulations on your own special stamp set!!! I just love it & love that you put Jay & your special year on the vintage date! How romantic!! Can't wait to start using it!
Congratulations on the stamp set…its great! Love the fonts! I'm truly sorry to read about your husband, sometimes I wish God would let us in on His plans. Prayers for you.
Can't wait to order my set! Awesome job Linda!
Such a special honor! Congratulations.
This is perfect for adding a special touch to the wine packaging when given as a gift.
I look forward to seeing lots of projects with it.
Love it and can't wait to have it among my favorites! Good luck on reaching your second million — I'm sure you will! 😊
Thanks for all the great reviews ladies. Warms my heart.
I know God has it all figured out. I just have to wait patiently and listen.
Just know that Jay is looking down and beaming with pride on you and the stamp set you both had planned! It is on my list to buy the next time I place a order. 🙂
Love it Linda, can't wait to buy it & start using it. I'm sure Jay would have been so proud of you & I hope that your life is full of happy memories.
My stamping up demonstrator is Michelle Last who was also on the Thailand trip.
