Life Changes

Hello everyone.

The day has come for me to say goodbye to my beloved family at Hero Arts. I have accepted an exciting position with Simon Says Stamp as Creative Director/Product Manager. I have been blessed over the years to have made a career in the stamping industry through Hero Arts and to work with an amazing group of people whom I consider my family. I will miss them dearly (but will still see them from time to time whenever I can). I leave with joy and hope for good things in their future. I am forever grateful.

I will begin my new adventure this coming Monday and look forward to stepping into another creative role in a slightly different forum. Thank you for your continued support, I'll be seeing you soon with more inspiration!

Congratulations, Shari! Having had opportunities for change throughout my life, I understand the feelings involved in opening yourself to new opportunities for growth and expanding your horizons. The people you've met and have impacted throughout the years at Heroarts are so special and you can look back grateful to have crossed paths with them. May you continue to grow in your new position and share your growth with all of us out there in cyberland.

Wow! Just saw the announcement at Hero and now here! Big congrats, Shari! I kind of feel like you're leaving one part of my family to join another part of it. ;) I just wanted to let you know that your picking me to spend a day on the Hero blog with you a number of years ago really gave my confidence a huge boost. I can't wait to see what you do over at Simon. Big hugs.
