After Stamp Camp I always take the workers that can make it out to the Whistling Tea Kettle.  Not everyone was there but those of us that did come…reeeeeeeally enjoyed a great lunch.

Okay…so here is my lunch!  mmmmmmmm

I don't think the pumpkins were happy with this weather!

and here is a gift I received in the mail the other day.  I just LOVE it.

It can be used as a head warmer or a scarf…

Margaret (the gal with the white shirt) made me one of her scarves.  Here she is with her friends and they are ALL wearing them.  I just love you Margaret!!!!  Thank you.

Well, thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the post!

Remember this picture I posted a few days ago?

This is my L L Bean Bag that I filled with snacks for the girls…welllll…..we had a guy in our group this year soooooooo what was I going to make for him???

Here is my version of a fishing box.  Isn't it adorable!  It's so manly!!!!  :0)  I think Chris liked it also!

Then it was time to shop in Momento Mall!  That is sooooooo much fun.  Here are a few pictures of that event.

Stampin' Up! does such a great job of decorating!!!  This window was gorgeous.

And flowers! to go along with the GROW theme.

This wheelbarrow was filled with Ribbon Samplers.

Here is a banner made from our new die.

and here are the ribbon samplers close up.

This was the new lunch tote and they filled it with flowers!  I bought one for Katie.

These mugs were flying off the shelves.

One of my favorites were these umbrellas!  I love my Stamping Up! Umbrellas.

And here is my card for the day!  I just love the new punches!

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed what I had to share.  Have a great day.

And more pictures…

So we stopped in Chicago to switch planes!  Look who we found there??!!

And another flag siting…Here is Mandy stopping traffic with her flag so we could cross the street.  Isn't she cute.

And here we are sightseeing.  Isn't  this beautiful.  It was in Temple Square.

And I don't think I showed you the winner of the Challenge this month.  It was Barb Stomieroski's.  Isn't it gorgeous!!!!!

And last but not least, two of my downline earned the Disney Incentive trip for next year so I made them both something special.  I dressed the mouse up to look like Minnie and I planted them in this pot because our theme for Convention this year was "GROW"!  It was so cute. 

I hope you enjoy my post…see you tomorrow.

Wait until you see our video…  Remember our picture from yesterday?  The one with the matching teeshirts? 

Well click on the picture below and watch the Stampin' Up! Video.  In the very beginning, you will see our group SINGING!!!!

Did you see us?  If you are receiving this in your "inbox" you may need to go to my blog directly to view it.  I'm not sure the feed will work if you get it in your inbox.  That is Stampin' Up's Convention song.  Isn't it so much fun???  I can't tell you how fun this job is.  You too can be a part of it, this month (only until July 31st) you can become part of my group for only $99.  Contact me and we will talk but hurry, time is running out.

Thank you for stopping by…see you tomorrow.

Here are more fun pictures from Convention…

Isn't this beautiful?!

Here is the display window outside Momento Maill.  Isn't this pretty?!

This is one of my favorite sites.  It's made from entirely SU products.

And here is the picture they took.  WE MADE THE SU VIDEO!!!  with Grow Grow Grow!!!  :0)

And how fun is this.  This group is awesome.  We all did so well together…goofy is what it is all about!  I love them all!

Didn't I tell you they were goofy?!  Putting their toes on the butterfly?  That was a game we played at the "Kick Off Party".  So much fun.

Here is my friend Linda Heller, she and her husband Matt are the ones that run Stamping School.  She did a presentation on the "Button Buddies" and our matching buttons.  She is awesome.

That's it for tonight, thank you for stopping by and not giving up on me!  :0)  Love to you all!

Some more fun pictures from Convention:

 So here are my very good friends.  We all made it into Founder's Circle this year.  There is me, Patsy, Linda, Jan and Sue.  YIPPPEEEE

 And here is our group in front of the Home Office sign.  They have one of these down in Knab Utah also where the manufacturing plant is.

And I just had to share this photo…we are four generations on my team! 

 This is inside the home office.

 This is inside the home office where they "pick" your orders.  My group taking pictures.

They had many projects on the desks of the workers that I will share with you in upcoming posts but this was one of my favorites.  Isn't it too stinken cute.

 And here is our group.  Aren't they just awesome!  Love you guys and gals!

 So much fun!!!!

okay, so you have to come back tomorrow so I can tell you exactly what Francine is doing!!!

I'm always asking my teammates if they think of themselves as a "Tigger" or an "Eeyore" when they conduct their Stampin' Up! business…They all know that I'm a TIGGER.  One of my downline gave me this for a gift while we were in Salt Lake.  I just LOVE it!!!! 

Isn't he the cutest thing!!!  Thank you Amy Smith!  I love it.

 So each day I made gifts for my downline. 

Here was their gift for the first full day of the convention all lined up.

 Here's a close up of the bag I made each of them.

And of course it was full of GOOOOOOD food!

and here is one of the most gorgeous pieces of the whole convention.  I fell in love with it.  It was all made out of paper and rhinestones and glitz.

Thank you for stopping by, come back tomorrow.

Okay okay, so I said I would post every day….not only did I not post every day, I didn't post once while I was at Convention.  What was I thinking?????  We are so busy with fun stuff each and every MINUTE that we are there that I had no chance to publish.  When we got back to our room every night, I had all I could do to just crawl into bed…I think I was asleep before I hit it!  Anyway…I'm trying to figure out the best way to tell you all about it so I think I'm going to tell you BACKWARDS….

So today is Wednesday (yes I've been home since Sunday night but this time change thing just kicks my butt and I've been getting ready for Josh, Megan and Alex to arrive for a visit from South Dakota tomorrow - YIPPPPEEEEE). 

So today, Wednesday, there was a package waiting for me.  I thought it was from Stampin' Up! but it was from my dear dear friend Sue Hyer….this is what was in the box…

They are COOKIES!!!!! 

Aren't they just too stinken cute?!!!!

So I guess I have to tell you a little out of order the event that made this happen.  On Thursday night, we had our amazing awards ceremony.  WHAT FUN!  Anyway….one of the awards I received was being appointed to the Advisory Board.  This is the highest honor any demonstrator can receive.  It's not anything that you can earn or work towards, you are hand picked.  I'm not sure of all the details yet (I'm waiting for "FUN MAIL" to explain all of it) but you are hand picked by Shelli (yes THEEEEEE Shelli Gardner) to a part of this Board.  I'm soooooooo stinken excited. 

Anyway, Sue and I have been going to Convention together for 12 years, this year she could not attend because of a dear friend's wedding.  OF ALL THE YEARS!!!!!  I wish she was sitting right there with me but I know she was there in her heart.  She sent these COOKIES to me to congratulate me.  SOOOOOO cute!  I love ya Sue!!!!

When I got off the plane on Sunday night, Katie and Kevin were waiting for me.  They were standing there holding this sign!  Awwwww, yes it made me cry! 

 These were the bubbles hanging from it…I made FOUNDER's Circle (top 100 get into this group).

 #8 represents where I was in that top 100 – #8 WOOOO HOOOO

 And although it's called the Advisory Board….they knew it was a HUGE thing!

 and it didn't stop at the airport, when I got home she had my favorite flowers (sunflowers) and a BIG SMILEY face balloon waiting on the counter and check out the NEW handbag, each of us that made  Founder's Circle received this bag …

and a star ballon and another congratulations sign!!!  Annnnnnnd she had dinner waiting for me!  I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!!

So are you ready to sign up????  There is an amazing special right now, not only is the kit only $99 but you also get a $40 kit that includes an amazing box and all the supplies including the stamp set complete from the HOLIDAY Mini Catalog. 

Yes you get all the ingredients to make this box…so do I.  If you decide to join my team of awesome demonstrators, we can have a "playdate".  Come on over and we will stamp it up together.  Go to my website and click on "Start Your Own Business" and let's get started.  It is sooooooo much fun.

Thank you for sticking with me and stopping by after such a long lag in posts…but I'm baaaaaack!  I promise.  I can't wait to tell you about the rest of the Convention.

I'm doing the Strength and Hope class.  I just love this stamp set and all it represents!  Stampin' Up is giving $2.00 to research for each set sold.  My goal is to sell 100!!   Anyway, here is one of the cards I'm doing in my class.

Isn't this pretty.  You get all the directions with the class.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope your day is going well.

I forgot to show you the other side of the mailbox…the one with the flag.  So here it is…

too stinken cute!

Okay, I wanted to do something sweet for each of the attendees that came to my team meeting.  I wanted them to feel extra special so I made each of them a little gift to help them GROW their business.

They came out sooooooo stinken cute!  And I don't even have a green thumb (my thumb was dirty after I did all 51 of them). 

And here was one of our make and takes.  It is FILLED with product.  Do you see the cork on the card.  Did you know we sell that?  It's amazing, it's so soft and rips VERY easy.  You can find it on page 205 of the big catalog.
