Hi! I’m Melissa Stout, AKA The Stamp Doc. I’ve been a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator since 2002, which is the same year I got married and graduated from chiropractic school. That was a pretty eventful year!
I really had no plans of doing anything with my little stamping hobby, but fate would change that. After graduation, my husband (also a chiropractor) and I moved to Indiana to start our practice. Through a strange turn of events, it took several months for me to become licensed. My husband could tell that I was bored and suggested that I do some workshops to meet people and keep busy. The rest is history.
We still live in Indiana with our daughter, Bella and our 2 dogs, Gidget and Gizmo. Our son is currently living in Virginia and serving with the US Navy. I work part-time as a chiropractor and acupuncturist which I enjoy immensely. When I’m not working, you’ll find me in my craft studio or binge-watching the latest Netflix craze. I also enjoy cooking, baking, and just spending time with friends & family.
