More Mini’s

Here are a few more 3″ x 3″ cards that I made.  I love the Pumpkin Pie/So Saffron one as I used Crystal Effects to cover the ice cream scoop.  The colors remind me of a yummy sherbet.  The weather is heating up, so I guess I am craving ice cream or anything cold!

Convention: Day 3 (Last Day)

Well, convention is all done.  Although it is a little sad as Janelle and I have had a wonderful time, I am very excited to get back home to my family (both human and animals) and get back to my business.

Here are a few photos of the crowd lining up for closing session this afternoon.

I have a meeting with my downline on Monday. I can’t wait to share all the fun and inspiration with my gals! If you live close and are interested in becoming a demonstrator, CONTACT ME and I will give you the meeting place details. We would love to have you!

Convention: Day 2

I started the day very early and had to be up at the convention center at 7 am.  I was awarded breakfast with the Corporate Team from Stampin’ Up! for being a member (graduate) of their Recruit Crew program and for having recruited someone in the last three months.  What an honor!  I was also given a special colored lanyard to wear so members of the Recruit Crew are recognized throughout convention.

Here is a better picture of the stage design this year.  I am truly amazed each year what the set designers come up with.

I wanted to share a few photos of two people from the home office that I have gotten to know in the last six months.  The first photo is Maxine Conrad and myself.  Max is a SAM (Service Account Manager).  The other photo is of Cori Hancock.  Cori is the Director of Marketing (I might be wrong, sorry).  She took my idea of the pop-up trash can that I gave her at Leadership back in January and now it was offered in the memento mall for purchase – see they really do listen to us!  If you come to my classes or book a workshop, you will see these little beauties!

Today at lunch we were treated to a wonderful (and yummy too) chocolate fountain.  Check out that pineapple tree!

It is now time for me to run off and have dinner at PF Chang’s with my upline Tami and sideline gals.

Convention: Day 1

Today has been a long day but it has been a lot of fun.

Here is the stage this year, I will take a better picture tomorrow when I can get closer to the stage.

In the Gathering Place they set up little rooms with home decor ideas.  The photos of the stenciling and decor elements  just does not do it justice.  It is so much better in person, trust me!

One last photo of me with the convention theme photo op.

Good night!

Check In Day and All the Goodies!

Check In Day at the Stampin’ Up! Convention.  So when Janelle and I “door busted” the Memento Mall at 7:30 am this morning, this is what we found.  The main doors were locked so we had to stand outside.  Wow, a few hundred other demonstrators had the same idea as us.  But we quickly went from the back of the line to the middle as hundreds filed in behind us as we waited the 1 1/2 hours for the Memento Mall to open.

So, what did we buy once we got into the Memento Mall and began shopping???

First were these reusable shopping bags in great Stampin’ Up! colors and prints. There was a limit of four of each pattern and you should have seen this things flying off the racks. Stampin’ Up! employees were refilling the racks as fast as they could.

This year they even offered a laptop bag and a project tote to match out Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper.  Love it!

I just had to buy one of these for myself. It is the cutest t-shirt in a yummy Cherry Cobbler color. I am so happy that they offered a t-shirt this year, must have been a popular request!

Every year Stampin’ Up! creates cool projects out of designer paper!  Just love the creativity!

My big Woo-Hoo moment was being able to meet my Demonstrator Business Development trainer from the home office.  Turns out that Rett Christensen was stuck back at the home office, so I had my picture taken with his photo!

The coolest thing this year was the Demonstrator Resource Center that was set up with displays and literally thousands of samples and ideas.  I even got to spin the prize wheel and won a pack of Playdate Designer Series Paper.

And finally, after we shopped, we went over and picked up our convention bag.

It features a few of the bright colors of the convention theme.  Inside were our three stamp sets and 1 wheel that we will be using for our make and takes.

OK, I am off.  I have to be back over at the convention center in about 30 minutes for the Flower Power Party, it will be groovy baby!

Let me know what you think of all of the goodies!

Convention Roomie Gift

Thought I would show you the gift that I gave Janelle when we got to Salt Lake City.  I went with a red theme as that is her favorite color.  I included a custom travel coffee mug, coffee snuggie, bag tag, hand sanitizer, flower pin (to match flip flops), lip balm, Pretzel M&M’s (my new favorite candy), and flip flops.

Here is a close up of her bag tag and a special Tote-ally Tess pin.

I want to share some of the fun ways Stampin’ Up! decorates for convention.  These are the columns outside the front of the Salt Palace Convention Center.  They are wrapped with nylon banners that show the convention theme: Share What You Love.

Here are the main entry doors, those are some seriously big Decor Elements!

Plus all the businesses around town have clings on their windows welcoming Stampin’ Up! demonstrators to Salt Lake.  Wow, I almost feel like a rock star!

This is just one of the hallways in the Salt Palace Convention Center all decked out with the convention theme.  Notice that it is empty!  I was the only one in the building and I call it the lull before the storm!

On our itinerary for tomorrow: “door bust” the Memento Mall (convention gift shop) at 7 am.  We may just be standing outside the doors of the convention center.  Then pick up our convention bags, check out all the display boards and check in day activities.

This year we are staying at a hotel a few blocks away from the convention center.  What a nice room we have and it is huge!
