Hi, my name is Kari and I'm a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in Vancouver, BC. I have 2 kids and a husband who used to see me more before I had a craft room.. :) No, really though, I have an incredible job where I get to work and be fully present with my family as well - life is good. My mission statement is: 'To be the catalyst that sparks creativity, leadership, friendship, fun and success in people who might not otherwise experience it.'
Interests: stampin' up!, stamping, gardening, um, scrapbooking, papercrafting, mommying, duh! ok really, teaching classes, holding workshops, coaching vocal groups, wife-ing, stamping... you get the picture.. ;)
