Hello friend! I am Yolanda Dunmore, but my friends call me Yolie. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. I’ve been a ‘crafty person’ my whole life. Life before stamping consisted of counted cross-stitch and computer generated cards.
My stamping adventure started in 2000 when I saw the beautiful cards my then colleagues were creating. After asking for a few weeks to attend a workshop (I was the new girl) I finally attended my first Stampin’ Up! workshop and instantly fell in love! That night I created three cards in a fraction of the time it took to complete a row of a counted cross-stitch project! When I say I fell in love I mean purchase all supplies needed to immediately start to creating cards when my order arrived type of love! Counted cross stitch is forever in my past. I have created so many party invitations (graduation, baby shower, and birthday) and other types of cards.
It took a while but I finally became a Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator (Demonstrator) in April 2001 and continued through mid-2010. Then I took a break from being a Demonstrator for a few years although I continued to stamp. However, in 2015 I became a Demonstrator again. I have a full time career which is very challenging mentally. At the end of a long day I look forward to going into my craft room and creating something beautiful.
Retirement from my full-time career in my future, I decided it was time to turn my hobby into a business. My goal is to share my love of stamping with everyone I encounter. I like to help people unleash their inner five year old who wants to create with reckless abandon. I look forward to us getting to know each other and to becoming your creative coach. As your creative coach I can help you unleash your inner five-year old who wants to create with reckless abandon. The ultimate goal is for you to send love in an envelope!
