Gearing Up for Stampin' Up! Featuring Margaret de Witt

Time is getting on and so are the plans for our great Beach themed day - Zeal for Teal! Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun...please shine down on us! (But even if it rains, the sun will be shining on our day. We can feel it already!)

Ovarian Cancer Canada has been wonderfully supportive and have sent all sorts of great items and information for our goody bags. So many others have been supportive too, including our next featured Vendor Alley gal - Margaret de Witt from Stampin' Up. 

 Margaret, an independent demonstrator for Stampin' Up, works from her home, client's homes, and in schools.
 "I LOVE stamping and papercrafting," says Margaret and she has been at it since 2004, she tells us. Margaret admits to her passion for stamping.

"I fell in love with the craft before I even tried it myself."

There was no doubt in her mind what she wanted to do as a business venture.

"I instantly knew that I wanted to sell Stampin' Up!'s fantastic products."

Margaret hosts stamp clubs, offers private classes and holds events in her home or in the homes of interested customers. And if that isn't enough, she teaches specialized classes through the continuing education program with the Upper Grand District School Board.
"Each year Stampin' Up! releases a new catalogue in July,"  Margaret explains, "which means a lot of products retire before the new release."

Generous as always, Margaret  will be donating 50% of her own profit from any retiring product ordered (while quantities last) at our Zeal for Teal fundraiser. Applause! Applause!
Not only that, Margaret tells us she will also be offering a 50% discount off the hostess party fees booked for the month of July and August with a minimum of 6 people attending. Regular fee is $10.00 per person (discounted fee is $5.00 per person) Hostess party includes 3 handmade cards with envelopes BONUS - individual participant fee will be waived completely with a $50.00 order (before S/H and tax). So if you are interested in booking a party, you might want to stop by her table in Vendor's Alley on June 26th.

I asked Margaret why she is so faithful and is attending Zeal for Teal again this year. She is blatantly honest as she shares her intimate reason for climbing on board with our Ovarian Cancer Canada fundraiser.

"I think it is an important issue to raise awareness. I recently lost an ovary due to complications with a cyst and was fortunate that cancer was not detected. Women need to understand how important it is to be aware of their bodies and for signs of problems."

Well said, Margaret. Zeal for Teal is intent on helping where we can and if even one woman can be detected early for ovarian cancer, then we have reason to celebrate.
We look forward to sharing the day with Margaret and all our other fine vendors. Plan on an amazing day. We sure are!
