Hi everyone,
The following was published a week ago in my March Newsletter...
-----------------------------------
You read correctly above that this will be my last Stampin' Update newsletter. After almost 10 years of putting my heart and soul into my Stampin' Up! business, I've decided that it's time to move on and change my focus.
It has taken me a LONG time to finally make this decision and even longer (it seems) to let everyone know and actually "close" my business! There are a lot of reasons, and the only thing that really stood out as the "decision-maker" for me is my family. When my sister passed away last April, I took a hard look at what my priorities are. The time that we have is finite, and I want to make the most of it. (Stamping and creating is STILL very important to me...I just won't be doing it as much.)
My experience as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator has been fabulous! I've had the opportunity to work for most of my 10 years with a fantastic business coach, who taught me so much about how to run my business and how to succeed in the end! Most of all, I've been blessed to meet SO MANY incredible women. A great number of you I can also count as my friends - I wouldn't have met you if it weren't for my business. I also appreciate those of you I don't know, because you took the chance and time to sign up for my newsletter and actually read it! Thank you! :)
There have been MANY changes in my life (and yours) these past 10 years, and there's so much that I owe to my business and the relationships I've formed through my business. I can't say THANK YOU enough for all the support you've given me. THANK YOU!
Now - for some "housekeeping"...
On the "books", I will remain a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator until the end of April. You will still be able to place online orders until then. In addition, feel free to call or email to place orders. I won't turn you away...promise! :)
-------------------------------
My website will remain up until it expires in the fall. I won't be adding anything to it, but the many hundreds of projects, RGB Color Codes, and other resources will remain until then. If you normally use "www.stampmonkeys.com" to get to my site, you will want to change your bookmark to http://stampmonkeys.typepad.com. (If you normally followed my postings in a blog reader, there's nothing you need to do.)
-------------------------------
My "www.stampmonkeys.com" domain name has expired, which also means that my email address has changed. The new address is [email protected] Please use this for any communication - that way your messages won't get lost!
-------------------------------
LAST, and this is the most important. I will not sell your email addresses to anyone, or give them any other Stampin' Up! demonstrator. If you are local Southern New England and would like to find someone new, I know a few great gals who are still very active that would be happy to help you. Just let me know and I'll give their info to you!
-------------------------------
Once again, I appreciate all of your support. I wish you the best in all you create! *hugs* to all of you!
Happy Stamping!
Marni :)
