Stamping, Sharing and Learning with Friends

Our monthly demonstrator gatherings are such a great time of learning, sharing and supporting one another as friends and as demonstrators!  Stamping, of course, is what brings us together but the friendships are what keeps us coming back month after month!  This group that started with just 4 demonstrators gathering together over 7 years ago, is growing and flourishing!  We average 15 to 20 per month in attendance but if everyone who is in the Cowtown Crafters group attended, I think we'd have to pick a new location to meet!

Did you realize that even my long distance demonstrator friends have the opportunity to participate in our monthly meetings, too?  That's right!  Through the card swaps, make-n-takes, emails and more, these long distance demonstrators are included in all the "goings on" of our group!  (Is that a southern saying - "goings on" - or did I just make that up?)

After our business portion of the agenda, it's all about stamping!  (Keep scrolling down to see pictures of what we made this month!)

My fellow demonstrator friends!

We're going to outgrow our meeting room very soon!

Make-n-Takes
We always have the best make-n-take projects thanks to Sharon and her creativity!  (Sharon is my amazingly creative upline.)

Here's what we created this month:

Supplies Used for the Make-n-Takes:

Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

Show and Tell Table
I was blown away by all the samples by all the creativity and samples!  These are just a FEW of the pictures I took (I'll be uploading more soon!):

What a fun time it is when we gather together as demonstrators!  If you're interested in joining the fun and being a part of the Cowtown Crafters group, it all starts with a simple purchase of the Starter Kit. The Stampin' Up! Starter Kit is a great value on it's own but when you add in the support, encouragement and excited of this group, it's a win-win!

Happy stamping and creating,
