Stampin Up Senior Demonstrator - Blue Springs, Missouri 64015 About Brenda Green

B Green Stamping - I like to use my first initial and last name because it seems to represent being "green" and environmentally aware and making efforts to preserve our environment. I have other blogs that are specific to an industry that use Stampin Up products, but I wanted one blog just for myself and to share with other people that love to stamp, scrapbook, create gifts and enjoy the hobby passionately as I do. It was hard to to pick a title with butterfly in it - love those just as much. What got me started in Stampin Up? I just finished my college degree and I had time for a hobby again. I contacted Angie Green at some point in time, so I was getting her emails about workshops. I attend one with total strangers near Halloween (one of my favorite holidays). I started up as a demonstrator right after that one workshop.

ME - Brenda Green

My kids Erica and Ryan at day camp when they were younger. They are 14 and 16 years old now (2011). We all share our home with my boyfriend John and enjoy a backyard full of flowers, trees and a garden. I even work out on my back patio on nice days.

Little Biscuit - my baby

I keep very busy and that I love to do. I do stop and flop here and there too! Some days I really do stay away from  the Internet and just create things all day long. I made a memory scrapbook about my dad for my mom one time and I did it in one day. It is a true treasure, the most precious gift and a keepsake for myself down the road. I live in Blue Springs, Missouri and I graduated with a BA in paralegal studies from Everest University. 4 cats in the household, my baby is Biscuit.

I am a contributor on pInterest and love to add images like other people do. Check out the site - it is spectacular and inspirational! http://pinterest.com/  It can be a load on your computer, so clear your cache and Internet browsing history so it doesn't bogg down too much.

My goal is to work full time on Stampin up stuff as soon as I possibly can. I feel I can do it!

I am attending my first Stampin Up (c) convention in July 2011 in Salt Lake City Utah. So right now I am working on making my "swaps" to share with fellow demonstrators when I get there. This is truly the most exciting trip I think I will get to experience - I can hardly wait. I hope to learn new techniques and see new products to share with the world.

I am a professional blogger too. I have attended Social Media Summit 2011 and Blogging Summit 2011 by White Paper Source to further improve my knowledge and experience with the social media world. I am on Linkedin, Facebook, and Twitter. I would like to get into others, but I don't think there is time.

I follow other stampers on blogger.com that have so much creativity and imagination and artistic talent, I hope you all will find my journey to be useful to yourselves and business too and to anyone one that just does stamping or scrapbooking as a hobby. It is a wonderful way to spend time either by oneself or with a group of friends. It truly brings out the stories and giggles and new things learned. I do appreciate and buy tutorials and of course love the free tutorials too. I am working hard to get into doing videos - I know they help me a great deal and it is good for anyone to see something visually - especially in the virtual world here.
