I became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator because I enjoy stamping and meeting wonderful people. I love being part of a company that inspires my creativity with exclusive stamps and accessories!  I have been stamping since 1997 and a demonstrator since 2005.  I have loved every minute of this imaginative hobby that brings out ones originality. Stamping is tops because in all the crafts I’ve tried nothing satisfies so quickly, is reasonable and adds joy to so many lives. Stamping is about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.  I am retired and live in Ridgecrest, CA with my husband Robert.  He's the BEST!  I couldn't put on my workshops without him.  We have three adult children and eight grand children.  If you want more information about Stampin’ Up!’s exciting products, please don’t hesitate to contact me - barbmann@mchsi.com.

Here I've posted a picture of myself and my wonderful supportive husband Robert.  

About My Home Page Welcome Picture...  Thanks for checking in.  I LOVE Visitors to my site!  You guys are awesome!  Currently my Home Page features a picture of our buffet all decked out for May - Mother's Day through the rest of spring.  Soon it will be summer and the 4th of July!  Of course I'll be changing up for those seasons as well.  I cherish all the holidays and special times during the year.  I have to admit, I'm a collector of many kinds of trinkets!  I have collected these vintage style items or reproductions over the years and enjoy bringing them out for everyone to enjoy!  My stamping/card making friends spend a lot of time in our dining room, which is our main workshop space, and I know they love to see my seasonal and holiday changes.  

If you are a regular reader on my blog you already know I like to update for the look of the season.  Every month or so I add some of my special decorative items to our dining room buffet.  As you can see, fun vintage things are my favorites!  I hope you'll come again and I'd love to know if you like my monthly vignettes.  Please enjoy this little feature on my site and check in again.  Please also see my cards in my favorite ideas section and in my blog.  I'm sorry I cannot post any cards or photos at this time.  Computer clitches are messing with me.  Hopefully they'll become operational again.  Thanks for reading my story page!  You know you can always comment on my blog or email me!  I'll always get back to you.  I do LOVE to see those comments... 
Happy Stamping & Crafting!
