It sounds like you just want to be a hobby demo selling to your friends. Pick sets you like a lot. That you will have fun with. If you have fun it shows and you will have more success that way.
As for looking for an upline. Check the demonstrator locator for a demonstrator near you. Think what you would like to have in an upline and then ask questions accordingly.
Would you like to go to monthly meetings and learn more about stamping?
- Ask if she holds meetings.
Would you like to stay informed about the newest things happening with SU?
- Ask if she contacts her downline regularly and how. Some people have their own yahoo groups to keep their downline informed.
Most of all, see if you like her. You will be talking to her off and on and it would be great to like each other!
Get that paperwork in fast. It has to be at Stampin' Up! on Wednesday. Otherwise you miss out on that incredible deal of 12 free classic ink pads.
Hugs and smiles.
