We had so much FUNN celebrating our first anniversary/birthday with Christine Bertram, and so many friends Friday night! THANK YOU, one and all for celebrating with us and for making our first year so terrific. FUNNUniversity.com

Christine brought the FUNN with her cowbell – tee hee – what a party girl. The wheel rewarded her by landing on her favorite color, PURPLE! Thank you, Christine. You are so FUNN!

Had a lot of FUNN reviewing some of our firsts like our first ten contributors:
Lady Barb Card-Stock-a-Lot, Kim Galvan, Lynn Darda, Sue Masoner, Vicky Logan, Melodee Luyk, Patty Beck, Vicki Emmerson, Lena Marie, and Anna Miller.
Then we introduced some new firsts:
1. Introducing our first merchandise: Craft Roulette / Cut the Crap & Create Teespring
2. Introducing our first Craft Roulette EVENT! 

Join us Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. Central for our Contributor Showcase.

Enjoy this week’s submissions. There are so many interpretations, good golly Miss Molly! Isn’t this just so FUNN?

Guest Bio

To LOVE what we do & SHARE what we love as we help others ENJOY creativity & worthwhile accomplishments…In this we make a difference.

This is Stampin’ Up!’s Statement of the Heart. It never resonated in me so much until I went to my first convention in 2014. It was then that I realized how much I love stamping. It allows me to feel creative and I can accomplish projects while brightening others’ days. It is a past time that gets my mind off the stresses of the day and is a great hobby to do with my friends.

It took another year and attending another convention before I realized that I could share this fabulous hobby with others. I started holding classes in my living room so my friends and I could get together more regularly. This blossomed into offering classes to anyone that wanted a creative escape. I love sharing creativity and positive energy with everyone.  I want to make a positive difference in the lives of people who cross my path.

I’m here to teach you about our fantastic stamping products, be your creative coach, give you fun project ideas and share special offers with you. Send me an e-mail or give me a call; I look forward to helping you be creative.

Happy Stamping!

Christine 🙂
