Changes

Changes can be stressful, anxiety laden things that happen in our lives. I find that almost every day, as I get older, changes can come any time. The way I feel physically, how much pain will accompany me through a day/night, how much pain my hubby feels, our daily routine, even things like prices at the grocery store. Last week, the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog was revealed to Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators at the corporate event called On Stage, in Houston, and later, digitally to others. It's beautiful, but a little different from years past. And it's a good thing!

With the changes we all go through with technology and how it affects our lives, the catalog has been updated, reflecting our advances in that direction. No longer a page by page "yearbook" of stamp sets, suites, dies, inks, papers and embellishments, we now will see more of a "story" through the Stampin' Up! experience.

From beginner crafters to avid stampers and crafters, you will find a section for you. It's exciting to see the new stamps sets, etc. They are still there, but presented a little different. My Online Store will become more of a catalog or resource of products, as we all move toward more online resources. It seems like a natural progression for most of us, and will become more of habit as the year progresses. The implementation of the Online Exclusives has begun to aid in moving us in that direction.

So buckle up; it's a little shift from the norm. But it's a good thing. And I am just a text, phone call or email away if you run into a question. Be looking for the new catalogs coming out and going "live" the first of May. Let's get excited! Believe me- it's gonna be great!
