The latest issue of Stampin' Success, Stampin' Up!'s demonstrator magazine, was released on-line today. I'm incredibly excited to share that I was featured this month. Four summer projects (never featured on my blog–very hush hush until now) are highlighted with the article and photos below.

Big smile 🙂

Congratulations! I read your post earlier but didn’t posted a comment – don’t know why.
I must say you are a stunning demonstrator. Very humble and artistic.
Even though I only log on to your blog everyday, I can truly feel your genuine character ‘virtually’.
Love to meet you in person at convention! 🙂
Congrats! You are very humble… you deserved a spot in the magazine and I’m honored that you share your ideas with everyone! I admire your work!
Mary- I am a “lurker” but a fan-I saw that article and thought- I know that girl!!
Congratulations-you surely deserve the honor and the attention-Sue Burton
Congratulations Mary! You are an inspiration to me! I look forward to your daily blog and your creativity is so awesome. Keep up the fantastic work. You really deserve all of the recognition you are getting. I can’t wait to get my SS delivered soon. Trisha
Congrats Mary!!!! You deserve it. I had to sign on and read the article ahead of time. I usually don’t, because I love getting my hard copy in the mail, so I wait until after it gets there to check stuff out online, but this was worth it. It was so nice to see those of you that I visit each day get the recognition you deserve. Keep up the good work!! Amy
Congrats Mary! I feel like I know you through your blog and I am just so excited and happy for you! Thanks for all your inspiration 😉
Mary,
You are the BOMB! Congrats on this great tribute to your artistry. You inspire me every day you post. I can’t wait to “talk you up” in my next meeting. Congrats and thank you! lorijane
Terrific article! I’m new to your blog, but love your work! congratulations!
Congratulations, Mary. Great projects.
It was great seeing you and your talent in the July SS. I haven’t been receiving your blog updates and I just tried to re-subscribe, and it says I already am. Can you help me with this? Thanks for your help and your inspiration.
Hi Wendie:
Thanks for your kind sentiments 🙂
Regarding the updates–This sometimes happens with Feedblitz and Feedburner (I use Feedburner). I just checked and your email is listed as an active subscription. Have you checked your spam box? Or it’s possible that you need to put [email protected] on your email allowed list. A spam filter is the mostly likely culprit since the subscription seems in order.
If the suggestions above don’t work, let me know. I’ll delete you and you can resubscribe!.
Mary
This is wonderful. I think you need a reality show. Keep on doing what you do because you do it so, so well!

You ROCK!!! This honor is well deserved! Thank you for inspiring everyone with your FANTASTIC creations! You are who I turn to 1st every day!! Thank you so much!
I was impressed that you spend 40-50 hours a week creating and updating your blog. That is a lot of time, but well spent. Keep up the good work.
oh my word! how exciting! our very own, Mary Fish is famous! i hope to meet you at convention this year, Mary!
Congratulations Mary! The first time I ever saw your cards I knew you had style and grace. Congratulations on being the person you were designed to be. You inspire us all.
Way to go Mary – you rock GF!!! Congrats!!!
And you thought you signed up with SU! to be a hobby demo!!!! There’s a quote by Steve Martin that comes to mind here:
“I want to be a shooting star! I want to leave a trail of light so BRIGHT that even after people shut their eyes it still burns.”
You are BLAZING Mary! The article and honor is so well deserved! And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person! I’M SO PROUD OF YOU! {{{big hugs}}}
I am so proud to be part of the “pals” and your stampin’ friend! You have done so well, worked so hard, and deserve every sweet bit of this recognition!
Congratulations. You are an inspiration to many of us. I enjoy your blog daily and use many of your “Tips”.
Mary,
SOOOOOOO well deserved!!! AWESOME!
Geri
Congratulations Mary I am not surprised your blog is authentic and an inspiration to many !
Oh Mary, I’ve not known you very long, but I do know this is so well deserved. I am so happy for you. I signed up with you, 1st because of your creations and 2nd because of your online blog for the pals. Your a true inspiration for me. Reading your article made me relax and breathe, I can get it all done. *smile* and hugs, Carla
Very proud of you Mary and you deserve it so very much. You are such a talent and any of us that do cards or scrapbook now its not all that easy.Congratulations….patm
Woo hoo! Nice to see that SU knows a winner when they have one. Great article–congratulations. Way to go!
Congratulations, Mary!!! The article is fantastic and very well-written. I’m honored to be one of the friendships you’ve developed through your blog. Your blog always provides me with inspiration every time I read it. If only inspiration would turn into actual tangible results with cards, life would be gravy! 🙂 Hopefully when things calm down here, I can devote more time to cardmaking and not have my mind going ten different ways which is probably part of my problem. LOL
Again, congratulations on being the featured demo for SU! I’m extremely thrilled for you!
Mary, I was once featured in a nationwide newsletter before and I know the joy you’re having in your heart right now…now you’ve gotta start working on your own magazine! You’d make a great one… I’m so proud of you and I want to thank you for all you have taught us.. God has truly blessed you!Congratulations on your article..it was so neat!
Congratulations, Mary. It was a very interesting article. TFS.
yaaaaaaaaaaay for you!!! one of my most favorite bloggers and card makers. i actually forgot to look online yesterday for the SS magazine. way to go and WELL deserved!!!
