I have been asked to teach stampin classes at a local Michael's store! I have said no before, but thought I might try it to see how it goes. I went in today to talk about things and brought samples which they LOVED! Within an hour after returning to my real job, I received a call saying it was a go. She wants to put me on the calendar for 4 days each month to start. I don't get to use my Stampin' Up! sets, but I am able to pass out business cards so it could still generate new customers for me at a later date. She was going to call the classes "Cards & More" (which, by the way, she ALREADY had a sign posted when I arrived!) and she asked me for a better name and I said "Stamping Stuff" would be best since I want to do more than just cards. They already have someone who teaches scrapbooking, but likes that I can step in if needed! I am going back tomorrow to pick up my "black board" which I need to decorate to be displayed in the class room to generate interest from other classes.

Oh I am so happy for you it sound like a good time. I wish I didn't live so far away. I would love to attend some of your classes. Oh well I guess I will just have to learn from your cards you send in the card swap.lol

Let us know how things go at your first class.

That is so cool!

That is so cool...I'm jealous!!! I know you'll do great...have fun!

As I entered Michaels store this weekend, I came upon my DD and DS showcased on the display tables! I gave them a paperbag album of my DD and an accordian card of my DS as examples. My DS was SO excited to see himself and his little sistered displayed! I was also told that they have 5 people already interested in signing up for my classes once the dates are set, hopefully by the end of the week.

YAY for you! :D
