Who is Joette McCawley?

Let's get re-Acquainted!  I started this Blog thing in April 2020.  It is now September 2021.  Over a year and it is safe to say it was an epic inconsistency FAIL!   SO.....I am going to try again.  Try again and put myself out there for anyone to see.  The rest continues to hold true!  I love Stampin' UP!® and all their products!!! 

I have been scrapbooking since the birth of our first daughter, Sara in 1997.  Beginning is 2001, I began incorporating stamping with Stampin' Up!® products.   Of course I fell in love with all things Stampin' Up! and joined a club, met wonderful ladies and even introduced my mom to Stampin' Up! My mom, Sheila, joined Stampin' Up! in 2010 as a demonstrator and began her own monthly stamp club.  She is amazing, creative and a true inspiration to me and how I run my Stampin' Up! business.  We do lots of creating together and especially now when everything is needing to be online.  

I began SU! as a hobby demonstrator in 2013 to get the discount and the kit was an amazing $25!!!!  Now who wouldn't??  I had a handful of loyal friends and customers but I was scared to death to speak in front of others.  Still am really, but slowly getting better at it.  My dream was to begin a Card Ministry (Linked By Ink) at our church.  I actually spoke with the pastor years prior, before finally beginning to have monthly card making "meetings" in the summer of 2019.  

Hesitantly I began this blog in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic and the resulting social distancing.  I really miss my crafting friends because stamping with them was and is a huge part of my being, REALLY!!!

I am married to my DH, Mike. As I am sure you can guess we have "3" Daughters; Sara, Erin and Lindsay.  Plus our 2 furry golden retrievers, Rio and Duke.  Everyone has been very supportive of me and my hobby turned business since the summer of 2019.  

So, from the bottom of my heart,  THANK YOU for visiting my blog!  Please come back often for inspiration and friendship.  Please leave a comment and let me know your honest thoughts.  I would really appreciate it.

God Bless,
Joette
