Changes....

-
As some of you know I have been struggling for most of the last two weeks with a major decision. Since Stampin' Up! has made several changes to the contract between themselves and their demonstrators I have needed to decide as to whether or not to stay a demonstrator or to continue to be a part of a design team. After much angst and prayers, consulting with my husband, friends, upline and downline, I have made the decision to leave Stampin' Up! Now don't think that I bear any ill will towards Stampin' Up!. They have made an important business decision that they believe is the right thing for them, and I completely respect that and their right to to do so. But I need to do what feels right for me. I am going to pursue my dreams...
