Welcome to Coffee, Wine & Sparkle Time!!

The first post...this is a long time coming, always in my mind, finally getting on "paper"

First question - why are you starting a blog...well, someplace to share my creations made as a Stampin' Up demonstrator, creations made from my many other crafting loves, and sometimes just randomly talk...why not 😉

I became a Stampin's Up Demonstrator in July 2017, so a little over a year ago.  I intended for this to be just another "hobby", but I forgot how much I loved making cards and paper crafting 20 years ago, so it is now more of an obsession and hopefully more of a business as I attempt to reach out to others that have a crush on paper crafting as much as I do. 

How did I come up with the name...three things that always make me smile (other than my family and friends 😉). I always love a good coffee drink, even if it is going to keep me up all night.  Great wine shared with friends is always something I cherish. And sparkle...a little sparkle on anything makes me smile. Now, sparkle is not always glitter, gold, or diamonds...it can sneak up on you in many ways - just think of it as those times something triggers inside you when you look at something and smirk or smile a little...you don't know it, but you are sparkling (and that makes me smile too!!)

That's all I've got for now - I can't use up all the good stuff in the first post...but, just to warn you - I am always changing things, so as this blog gets going, it may look different...until I get the "right" look and feel.  Also, keep watching for updates and different ways to find out when I have a new post. This is completely new to me, so just bear with me - even if it hurts a little at first, I am still sparkling inside.

Remember, always keep sparkling!
