A Message from Missy Shipman:

Hi, friends! My name is Missy Shipman. I live in Baldwinsville, New
York, near Syracuse, with my wonderful husband, Bill, and our two
delightful boys, Matt and Billy. I taught elementary school for nine
years before resigning when Matt was born. I love that as a Stampin'
Up! demonstrator I am still a teacher--but without the report cards!
I have always loved to "make stuff." I had used rubber stamps in my
classroom, like "neater please" or a star on the top of the spelling
test, but didn't realize their artistic potential until introduced to
Stampin' Up! It was definitely love at first sight! In addition to
papercrafting, I also enjoy sewing, so I was very happy when Stampin'
Up! added our line of designer fabrics.
In my over a dozen years as a demonstrator, I have been blessed to
meet many dear friends. I'm so thankful for the privilege of sharing
our high-quality products and the fabulous opportunities we have as
customers, hostesses, and demonstrators with Stampin' Up!

I had the great fortune of meeting Josee at my first Founder's Circle trip--when
she welcomed me in her seat on the bus enroute to a wonderful outdoor
musical theater performance. I was so thankful for her kindness.
Little did we know that years later we would be called to serve on the
Advisory Board together. What a special honor! And it is a great
honor for me to be asked to visit your team's retreat this summer. I
look forward to sharing a great adventure!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Inky Hugs, Josee e: josee@stampingjo.com
