I would be really upset about the office giving out my phone number. I would ask them to put a note in my mom’s file that they are NEVER to give out your information, period. If they are in doubt, they can contact you themselves and let you know who is requesting your information. I understand not wanting to make things uncomfortable for your mother, though. I’m sure you can word your request kindly, not pointing a finger at them for screwing up but more as an if this should happen again, do this suggestion. This is a very good point. If someone wants your info, the assisted living can take down THEIR information and forward it on to you. That way if you have any interest in speaking with the person, you can contact them if you so choose. It’s an easy solution that won’t catch you off guard, and it’s what they should have done in the first place. |

I think the OP can make a very clear case that she's not running an official party or making official kits, she's doing crafts with her mother and her mother's friends with her own supplies including Stampin' Up.
But I am giggling at the image of OP in a sitcom jail setting because she pre-stamped and cut out an image for her mom to use on a greeting card.  Scary looking cell mate - "What are you in for?" westiemom - "Sharing my craft supplies" This is hilarious! |

Op - I would be pissed at whomever gave out my phone number, especially if it was the facility. And if it was I would contact the ED there.
But be aware it might be someone from your group. The other demonstrator could've asked them who was doing the demo and they showed them your card, or booklet or whatever with your number.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this with those ladies. What a kind thing you are doing, and how fun for them. I too have a parent in Assisted Living who loves all the activities they provide. Good for you standing up for yourself!

If stampin up has an issue with you assisting those who are physically impaired/disabled from accessing their products by stamping designs for them then I would be very loudly making a court case about it. And suing them for all they are worth. Which may not be a lot thanks to their other court case.
And I pity the other boss babe who feels like she needs to boost her sales by pressuring little old ladies into buying things they don’t need. She is deranged, does she really think she’s getting a car or paying her mortgage by pressuring the elderly?

And yes, let your upline know about this before this woman tries to spread misinformation about you. |

Block her.
Definitely ask the facility if they revealed your phone number to her and ask to speak to someone in charge and make a written request that it never happen again.
Write to SU and explain.
then Quit SU and you won't have to worry about stuff like this!!

UPDATE:In
The facility got back to me. Apparently the other demonstrator contacted the office and said she needed to get a hold of me to get some product to use in her class (?) Sneaky. I told them if she knew me, she would already have my phone number. This is the second time they have given out my personal phone number in the past five years. They get it by accessing my mom's file. This is clearly a HIPPA violation. I let them know, nicely, that they should only be accessing my mom's file for medical information/emergencies. I don't want to raise much fuss or they will treat my mom poorly. I have seen it happen with others.
I also blocked that demonstrators phone number. I suspect SU does not want demonstrators to pre-stamp images but they also are not going to replace product that is ruined in classes or gatherings. Until they do, I will continue to do what I am doing. Besides, my mom stamps at least half of them for me and she likes doing it.
I'm a SU! hobby demo too. Prior to being a demo, I participated in many hostess clubs. The demo always precut the card bases and layers. Sometimes she would precut the die shapes. You are not selling kits, so the rule about selling stamped images does not apply. I'm sure your mom and her friends appreciate your time and company when you visit. It is kind of you to share your hobby with these ladies. Honestly, I would consider reporting the other demo to SU!. She was wrong to deceive the facility to obtain your number and to call you and make threats. I would also let the activities director know what happened. I would be surprised if the facility continued to let her come back. I'm curious if the facility knows that she is charging for her class. |

MLM makes some people crazy. You handled it great. Going to jail- wow- no wonder our jails are crowded. There are a lot of rogue crafters out there, evidently.
It is fantastic what you are doing. I love people who go out of their way to enrich others' lives.
As an art teacher that teaches a lot of people who need accommodations, my only suggestion is that if there are people that are able to, have them attempt to stamp their cards. Give them options. Skills are lost if they aren't practiced and hand dexterity is an important skill. I can see how a piece of paper can be ruined but something pretty wild would have to happen to ruin a stamp. I always provide options- I do have some premade parts but I also let people try if they are willing. Some people want a perfect product, some want the feeling of making something themselves. It varies by person. But I'm sure you know the ability levels of the people in your group and it is a wonderful thing you are doing. Can you post an example of your cards? I'd love to see them.
