My name is Diane Krupa, and I am a Scentsy Certified Consultant. Scentsy began in 2004 when Entrepreneurs Heidi and Orville Thompson saw a small company at a home show.
They were intrigued with the simple idea - a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles - and decided to buy it. It grew into one of the most successful direct selling companies in the world. Scentsy is a wickless, sootless, flameless candle. It is an Electric ceramic warmer with scented wax. I am new to sales, but I love it! I believe in the product so much that I think about it 24/7/365!
Apart from creating things, what do you do?
I have a temporary/full-time job working as a Content Management Specialist, developing and updating content and web pages.
Where do you get your creativity from?
I've got to say, that I got my creativity from my Grandmother who taught me to crochet when I was 10 yrs. old. I've been crocheting ever since.
What got you into the craft hobby?
I have loved crafts, sewing and crocheting ever since I was a little girl. And now I volunteer teach PSR 2nd graders who love crafts in the classroom!
How would you describe your creative process?
My creative process of selling Scentsy to include something extra with each order, wrap it special, and make fancy samples from the scented wax. I have shells, roses, and hearts so far.
How did you get your business off the ground?
I got my business off the ground from Scentsy by working on a fabulous team, and my sponsor is awesome!
What are your goals with your business?
My goals with my business is to promote Scentsy and share my love for it. Showing how relaxing the aromatherapy can be. And so many products included.
What do you do in your free time?
In my free time, I prepare my samples, and circulate my business cards wherever I go. As a Mom of a 16-year old daughter, I pretty much never sit still. There is always a place go, party to attend, sporting event, or shopping. And now that school is starting back up, I will be back and forth to the high school for so many events, I can't even count.
What's the message behind your work?
The message behind Scentsy is: warm the heart - enliven the senses - inspire the soul.
