For a couple of years I've seen people post TBT photos on Facebook.. Throw Back photos from years gone by posted on Thursdays… I've always wanted to do that.. but never took the time to dig up old photos and get them assembled into a post!
But…. I was cleaning out some drawers in my stamping desk a couple weeks ago (more about that craft room reorganization effort in a future post).. and I found a treasure box of photos and… get this…. my ORIGINAL postcard from Stampin' Up! in 1995 with my demo ID and welcome note!!! 🙂
I'd like to think that Shelli or LaVonne was the one to write my demo # personally on there… but who knows :) Along with my welcome postcard, I found a box of all the postcards Stampin' Up! sent to me with all my recruits.. they did this for about 5 years or so after I first signed up!! I pulled out a few of them from my downline who are still active Luv 2 Stamp Group members… Christine, Joy, Saundra, Drew… so fun!
Ok, so now that we have that out of the way… How would you like to see some fun photos all from within the first 5 years of when I joined Stampin' Up! in 1995… so these are all 1995 to 2000 (as far as I know).
ENJOY these TBT photos!

What a wonderful way to start the day! I was showing Aileen You Tube videos of Dee just last week? Thanks for the look back.
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful SU memories with us. I loved that halloween scrapbook page of Jason. Here’s to 20 more wonderful years of creating with SU !
Hey Patty!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!! My sign up date is March 15, 1995 and my demo # is 1999 so I remember the subject matter in all of your photos!!
I enjoyed your look back. wow, Your ID number is SMALL!!!!!
Thats an awesome share Patty. Thanks for sharing.
HUGS.

I am not a long timer. but, enjoyed it.
That really brought a smile to my face! I joined long after you did, but it’s great to see that the fun and friendship is the same.
I still have that apron hanging on the back of my ironing board rack!
I still have Stella Stamper! And I use her every once in a while for something for my downline. One of my DL has asked me repeatedly if I’m ready to sell this set and my answer is always “NO WAY”! Thanks for TBT and the memories you’ve shared.
What a fun post!! I love seeing your early photos!!
Patty, awesome to see your throwback photos. Wonder what ever happened to Dee Greunig. She used to be on Aleene’s craft show or some other craft show years and years ago. Loved watching her. You brought back great memories. I also loved seeing my upline Janet Wakeland in a photo.
