HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

Where better to celebrate our nation's independence day than on the East Coast.  I'm writing this at my brother's kitchen table and our plans today are to go out of Glouster Mass. for a whale watching tour.  Can't wait, but need to get some dramaine.  Hope we see some whales.  I've never seen whales except at Sea World.  Had a whole family dinner last night.  Got to meet Gavin for the first time.  I approve :)  Met Jacob's friend from Boston as she came out to pick him up.  Jacob is spending July 4th in Boston/Cambridge.  He'll have FUN!.

This stamp set is in the mini.  Maybe we'll see one of these out in the ocean.  Enjoy!

Happy 4th!  Have you got your new catalog?  If not, contact me and I'll get one to you.  Also, don't forget my Open House on July 16 from 1-5 pm. 

Would You Want This Craft Room?

I just spent the weekend at my friend Laurie Krauss down in lower Michigan.  I've heard about her NEW craft room and all I can say is WOW - I Want It!!!  Laurie is #44 demonstrator of the year in the US.  She is a great person and I had such a blast at her place.  We stamped, played, made jewelry and discussed ways to run our SU business.  Also, attending the weekend event was her SAM (Service Account Manager) from Stampin' Up! - Maxine Conrad.  Max is a SU demonstrator too and has a very successful business in Utah.  She did a presentation on Saturday discussing her business and how she advertises and about organization and time management.  She had some excellent ideas and some I will be putting into action.  What a great weekend!!!!!  Thank you to Laurie and Max for this opportunity.  Now Laurie's craft room.

She can seat 40 people.

 

Think she has a few stamp sets?

The wall of paper.

You too can enjoy this wonderful craft room and training by Janet Wakeland on Oct. 1 and Oct. 2.  If you are interested in joining my team - I will tell you more.  Contact me today!

SHARING CONVENTION

How do you describe convention?  Lot's of people SHARING WHAT THEY LOVE!!  Here are a couple pictures of the crowds.

The crowd moving into the Gathering Place to party at the Flower Power party on Wednesday night.  We were to sport some attire from the 60's.  

Here are some flower children.  Lois Good (RAD achiever - 2nd from right).

The opening morning of General Session.  This is before they asked us to take our seats.

Friday night my roommates (Amy & Laurie) took the bus tour to Stampin' Up!'s headquarters in Riverton, Utah.  About a 20 minute drive from downtown Salt Lake City. 

 

This was taken from the bus window, but it gives you a look of the building and the mountains in the background.  Beautiful.  It was designed to look like a school building.

 
Look at all those stamps!!!  That is the distribution center.  Everything is shipped out of this building.  This is Amy (L) and Laurie (R) - my roommates.  See those cute bags?  Laurie is holding a reusable shopping back (some of my customers will be getting these as incentives) and Amy is holding our convention bag.

The 3 of us standing by the Stampin' Up! rock that adorns both sides of the entrance to headquarters.  Aren't we a motley crew?  I had never met these girls before Wednesday afternoon.  We were like 3 peas in a pod and had a blast together.  Friends for life!!!!

Convention is something everyone should experience.  Join my team and be a part of it next year!  Ask me how!
