Greetings from the dirt pile! WOW!!!! I am so honored and humbled to join this amazing group of stampers! It was 11:30 at night when I read Jenn's email asking for my phone number so we could "chat." I spent the next couple of hours all keyed up wondering if it could be ... nah, it couldn't be.... By the next afternoon, it was official -- Jenn really did invite me to join the Dirty Dozen. And today, I really am a dirty girl!
A little about me ... My name is Amy Sheffer, and I am wife to a wonderful husband and mom to three amazing children. Home for us is a semi-rural community in Northern Virginia on the far outskirts of Washington, DC. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, but my background is in publishing - everything from newspaper reporting to magazine editing and production to online content development. It's kind of funny to look back on my career and realize just how much I've always been involved in arranging words and pictures on paper (or the computer screen).
I was introduced to stamping six years ago at a home workshop and fell in love right away. I discovered SCS in the fall of 2003, but it took me four more years to get brave enough to start a gallery. Are you kidding?! I was too shy even to leave a comment! To my delight, I quickly found that the big scary stamping world was not so big and scary after all!
I've been a Fan Club member since the very beginning, so I've drooled over the DD gallery month after month after month for years. To be asked to join this group of esteemed stampers is truly a dream come true! I'm not sure one ever feels worthy of such an honor, but I am certainly grateful for the opportunity to give back, in any way I can, to the community that has given me so much inspiration and encouragement. Thank you for the opportunity, Jenn! And thank you Fan Club!!
