I also tried to e-mail privately, but it got returned so I am posting info here. To the rest of y'all, please don't think of this as SPAM. I am only answering her questions.

I'm a Stampin' Up Demonstrator. No, we don't ONLY do scrapbooking, but we are rapidly growing our scrapbooking area. I've done entire workshops only with scrapbooking. I generally only do this when the hostess asks and the rest of the time I do a card and a scrapbook page. Everybody at the workshop does both projects and there is no charge. There is no set schedule. You work when you want. We have a quarterly minimum of $300. This is a calendar quarter, NOT a "rolling quarter" like CM does. If you aren't sure what this means, if you are selling CM their minimum is a $500 order on a rolling quarter meaning that you can have several smaller orders that add up to $500 and it still doesn't count. You have to have ONE $500 order in the rolling quarter and as soon as you do that then your quarter starts over. As an example, if you turn in a $500 order on January 1st, your 3 months starts the next day. If you place another $500 order on February 1st, your 3 months starts over the next day. With Stampin' Up we work on calendar quarters so you have January, February and March to come up with a total of $300 in orders. You can turn in 2 workshops of $150 each or
10 personal orders of $30 each or whatever. And it's always on the quarter. If somebody starts now, their quarter doesn't start until January because Stampin' Up doesn't count their first partial quarter. The current quarter started October 1st so they have this time to settle in or whatever and they have to have $300 in sales between January 1 and March 31. If you would like, I can send a copy of the kit contents. We have an "add-on" kit with scrapbooking supplies. You save about 40% off retail with the kit then our commission starts at 20% and goes up depending on how much you sell in a month. I do not use only Stampin' Up stuff in my scrapbooks, but I only take my Stampin' Up stuff to workshops IF Stampin' Up carries that item. In other words, if Stampin' Up doesn't sell anything like it I won't go out and buy 10 for a workshop (too costly and doesn't make sense to actually promote another product), but when I'm doing a crop then I will have my own stuff there and allow people to look at my albums. I tell them an item isn't Stampin' Up because Stampin' Up doesn't make that item. If you haven't fallen asleep yet (LOL, sorry about the long read), I also wanted to point out that we don't pay for hostess benefits. The company pays all that.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. If you would like to talk one-on-one, I would be happy to call you.
