Yesterday I shared how the July special is on the Starter Kit and the opportunity to be part of the Stampin’ Up!® family. Well its more like a family than a business.

Not only do the Staff at Demonstrator Support and Head Office treat you with respect and as part of the family but you also get to meet other Demonstrators online and at events like Regional Training and Convention. You click cos you know you’re part of something special and more often than not you find you have other things in common.

I am talking about all this today as in the past week or so I’ve recieved two gorgeous RAKs (Random Acts of Kindness) from two demonstrators – who also happen to be awesome ladies and I feel blessed to call them friends.

Firstly, I received this gorgeous card from Nikki Stalker.

How well does this lady know me?? and know what happens to be my favouritest (yes its a word!) stamp set and just how much I love the new In Colours?

I loved this card so much that I used it as inspiration at a recent demonstration and those ladies loved it too! Thanks Nikki!

Yesterday I was totally blown away by a gorgeous gift from Makeesha Byl - another demo and friend from Western Australia.

I had spent most of yesterday on the lounge with a headache so wasnt the best.

Then the girls got in from school and Caitie presented me with an envelope containing this gorgeous pocket card I could do nothing as the tears welled up in my eyelids.

It seems Makeesha knows me too as she used Baroque Motifs as well and the very pretty brocade stampin round.

If that wasnt prize enough I pulled the insert to reveal a voucher for one of mine (and obviously Makeesha’s) favourite book stores – Koorong. Gotta love how God uses people to bless others – and right when they need it!

I will enjoy browsing the store and pondering what to buy … thanks so much Keesh … from the bottom of my heart! Mwah

This pic shows the top of the insert and how Keesh has used the swirly flourish from Baroque Motifs … I dont think I’ll ever tire of using that set – or receiving cards made with it!

Although I did know Nikki before I joined Stampin’ Up!® there have been many ladies I now call friends and some are customers as well as demonstrators and they are all people I would never have met otherwise.

So I do thank God and I do thank Stampin’ Up!® for enriching my life with so many beautiful people and a wonderful job that not only allows me to be home for the girls but also a job that has blessed me in so many ways.
