Hi Everyone,
My name is Fiona (Lilydale, Melbourne) married to my husband Sam and have two kids our dogs Jack and Max and I'm apart of CK Cath's Crafty Kids team and are now just going into my second year and have loved every minute of it. I'm a hobbyist consultant though because I honestly had no craft bones in my body when I first started but always had this urge to do something crafty and CK really appealed to me. Well I've now learnt some of the tools of the trade (always learning more) as well as different techniques and I'm just loving the products..they are the best and are just so much fun for a newbie like myself to get more involved as you learn how to do things so I've had an absolute ball and Cath has been fantastic with my questions and shouts for help especially in the early stages..I've also learnt to fill up my craft space with its own table plus all my storage containers where I can have fun creating all my projects. I've just recently got into selling and taking orders directly from the catalogue and will be running that full flight into the last half of this year with christmas coming up and hopefully place a major HUGE order late in the year..
I've rambled but I have read over alot of the posts on the board here and I love the friendly help/advice/support that gets offered by everyone and along the way I've come across a number of the friendly faces of friends that I know ;-) and I'm looking to make more new friends as I begin to join in here if you'll have me lol.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend and have a great week ahead!
Take care
Fiona

Hi Fiona
Welcome to the forums on PP! Hope you make your huge sales for Christmas, it's a great feeling when you reach your goals so go girl! I love the CK range and have quite a bit in my cupboard but am not all that crafty so it takes me ages to complete, thank goodness the instructions are really good.
See you around

Thanks again for all the welcomes I've received. Love the site already and everyone is friendly which is fantastic :). I shouldn't have lurked for so long lol and I am looking forward to chatting with you all as well.
Sally you and I sound very similar lol my cupboards are full of CK products but I love it and I've had so much fun with it since I began and my nieces and nephew love it when I visit them in the country as we sit down and make things together and I get to spend precious time with them that I dont get much of unfortunately.
Jae: Yes, that would be great! We shall have to organise something :-). My middle name is Jennifer lol so thats a lovely name too!!

hi Fiona and welcome!! There's definitely a lot of great ideas and advice on this forum. I'm a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in melbourne and I'm actually doing a workshop for Cath in a few weeks. I'll be taking a good look at the CK catalogue while I'm there I'm sure! I'm a bit like you in that I didn't think I was very 'crafty' before I started with Stampin' Up, but I'm really enjoying learning heaps of new things and showing others how easy it is to make some really nice things! hope to see you around here often!
