Hello Stamper Friends,
No, I did not disappear from the face of the earth, Saturday I traveled all night and got home at 4:00 AM and I was way to tired to post and then last night my computer was being STUPID! I think it needs to go to the fix it shop TOMORROW! So I am typing on my tablet so it's going to be short and sweet. Tonight I am showing you pictures from convention, the people that sit around and make these items for all these displays are AWESOME. Just look at the detail on some of these things!!!
I never thought about putting the decals on outside furniture! Great Idea
Look real close and you might see something that is coming in the Holiday Mini Catalog!!
This would be so cute to make up and take to your workshops with all the Starter Kit things in it!!
These pots are cover with our designer paper, cute!
Well, I have a workshop tomorrow night and I have 11 new stamps sets to play with. So I guess I better get busy. Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow.

Hello Stamper Friends,
Well it was day number 4 in Utah today, it's winding down we will be leaving tomorrow to head home. I love coming to convention but it's always nice when it's time to get back to my family. Today was another awesome day, we seen new items being used sat in classes and learned lots. We are just setting in our room relaxing now and it seems pretty good.
Today was also the Stampin Up Marches, this is where demonstrators that earned different awards march across the stage to be recognized. It was pretty nice as Ronda and I where in every catagory together so we got to walk together. This first one is for Sales:
This is for recruting
Leadership
Well, wish us luck for tomorrow when we checked in for our flights Ronda and I got all checked in but Melissa and Stacie it told them that the flights where canceled. They tried it again and got checked in but their tickets where saying stand by. We where told that there was a bad hale storm on Wednesday in Denver and there was a lot of their planes damaged??? I guess will see come tomorrow

Hello Stamper Friends,
What an AWESOME day here in Utah today!!! We started out this morning in General Session where Stampin Up showed us some new products, a scoring tool a cookie press and lots more. We got a copy of the Holiday Mini Catalog, oh my word! some AWESOME things coming this fall. Then we got to go and make some really AWESOME make-n-takes with new stamp sets and products. (sorry I forgot to take pictures)
Tonight was the Awards Night, I am still in shock! I was number 17 for Demonstrator of the Year Award. You earn this based on your sales (thank you to all my loyal customers!) your recruits and their promotions (thank you to all my Rubber Princesses) I truly LOVE what I do and this just shows me with lots of hard work it will pay off! (big smile and yes I was doing the happy dance!
Here are a few pictures that I took tonight:
This is Ronda, Melissa and I walking across stage for earning the Disney Trip
On stage for Number 17 with my friend Julie number 16, last year she was number 42 and I was number 43.
I never thought I would be up on stage in the same grouping as Ronda, she was number 11
It was a very happy night for both Ronda and I.
Well it is now 12:00 and it's another early morning tomorrow so it's off to bed I go, thanks for stopping by an see you all tomorrow!

Well, we are in SLC Utah, it took a while to get here yesterday, but thank God we did. We had delays at each airport we went to and finally got to our hotel room at 4:00am Michigan time this morning, we where at the airport in Detroit at 5:30pm so yes it was a long, long night.
So,today was check in, this is where we get our Convention bags and stamp sets:
Here is Ronda, Melissa and Stacie
Then we went down to the awards booth and this is where you get your free stamp sets for your accomplishments. This is also where you find out if you made it into Founders and that is where you are in the top 100 of the company:
Who doesn't LOVE free stamp sets!!!!
After we checked in we quickly went through the area where Stampin Up has all these displays of TOTALLY AWESOME items. Here are a few pictures and I promise there will be LOTS more.
It's amazing what you can do with paper!!!!
Well we are walking out the door to go to Ronda's dinner get to gether and then we are going to the Stampin Up kick off party. So until later!
See you!

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

Believe it or not, I have until 4:00 pm tomorrow and I think I am ready to go, yes I can go to bed and not stay up all night getting things done. It seams really weird not stressing about leaving!!!!
Tonight I am showing you another one of the Baggie Books we did last week end at Ronda's Class. This one is using Best of Everything on page 103 of the new Idea Book & Catalog.

Good Morning Stamper Friends,
Well, it is now 1:25 and I really need to get to bed real soon. Today was another very hot and humid day here in Michigan, but I stayed in the house almost all day! I had another day of my Open House today and had some wonderful people stop by. One of my customers came in and she had read my blog from last night where I had mentioned about the STUPID pothole that I hit yesterday and said " you have another flat tire?" CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! sure enough I went out and looked and the back tire was also flat. Just my luck, well my wonderful husband took my car put it in the pole barn took the tire off and guess what?? The rim was bent too, just like the front one is, so now I not only have one tire and rim bent and flat I have two bent and flat. I do not even want to think of how much this is going to cost!
Thank God I am getting on a airplane on Tuesday and will be gone for 5 days and I am NOT even going to think about that STUPID pothole that I hit Just go and have fun with all those other crazy fun loving stampers that are going to convention. WoooHooo!
So here is another set of the Baggie Book Cards we did at Ronda's Class yesterday:
These are using the stamp set Creative Elements found on page 137 of the new catalog.
Well, it's time to hit the hay, I have a date with a tire factory in the morning! Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow!

Good Evening Stamper Friends,
Well, today was a very busy day, I started out this morning going to Ronda's Bagge Book Class. We made 20 Awesome cards using 4 new stamp sets from the new catalog. Tonight I am going to show you one set and the rest tomorrow!
After I left the church today from the class I had a car full of deliveries so I started off to Lansing, then St Johns then I headed over to the Grand Blanc area oh yah I was ALL OVER tonight. Well I was almost done with my deliveries when I hit a pothole on the side of the road. OH CRAP, no that's not what I said but I'm going to be nice! When I hit it I started hearing a noise, luckly I was just down the road from one of my customers so I got out and looked at the tire and it looked ok. So I left and went about 8 miles down the road and my car started not feeling right, so I pulled off again on the side of a very busy road and sure enough I had a flat tire. OH CRAP! again no this is not what I said. Well, I tried to call my husband about 25 times and no answer!!!! GRRRRRR, luckly there was this truck driver that was backing into his house down the road when I went by and he seen me pull over so he came down to my rescue. Thank God there are still some nice people in the world. So I came home on the skinny little tire and will deal with it Monday morning. So that was my day!
So here is the 5 cards we did with the Button Buddies Stamp Set today!
Button Buddies can be found on page 71 of the new catalog
