SHOUT OUT!

I’d like to thank Louise Sims for helping me to create my website and further my learning in advancing my knowledge in “Tech 4 Stampers“. Louise Sims is a gem of a teacher and I consider her a friend! She has helped many Stampin’ UP! demonstrators develop their own websites to enhance their paper crafing businesses. Thank you Louise Sims and everyone at Tech4Stampers and the Stampin’ Website School who help us to become comfortable with our tech!

Joyful July!!

Joyful July is Celebrating Independence Day in the United States. My family has many roots in the military and we are very patriotic. We love the path to freedom our founders took as Godly men who followed the Christian principles to set up a Republic directed by God.
