A Passion for Stamps

Welcome to my little stamping corner of the world...

I became an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in 1996 because I discovered my passion for endless ways to create amazing, incredible art with rubber stamps!  Now I teach what I've learned--at workshops, classes and other stamping and scrapbooking events-at your house, and my home Stamp Studio, as well as here-on line!  It's such a "fun" job, that I truly feel blessed to be able to do what I love-for a living! This adapted Statement of the Heart from Stampin' Up! says it best:   

TO LOVE WHAT I DO

and share what I love,

as I help others enjoy creatvity

and worthwhile accomplishments... 

in this I make a difference!

Be sure to sign up for my Customer Newsletter (see Join My Customer List  link on left) to be updated with creative ideas & techniques, and learn about specials, classes and events I offer each month!

HAPPY STAMPING... with Debbie Van Gieson,  a/k/a...

FREAK OCTOBER SNOWSTORM KNOCKS OUT POWER & INTERNET!

Well, I'm back now after losing our Internet connection for a week after a freak October snowstorm hit New Jersey 2 days before Halloween!  We were fortunate not to lose our power this time, but my mom wasn't as fortunate, so we ended up having house guests-my brother who needed a warm place to crash, and my mom...  If we had to do without the computer, at least we got to spend time with family-and that's ALWAYS a plus! 

I have a lot to catch you up on, including my November newsletter, 12 Weeks of Christmas emails (for newsletter subscribers only-join now on left!),  November & December happenings and classes, Stampin' Up! specials and so on over the next few days and weekend, so be sure to stop by again and visit!
