Diva/Dude Day

Hidy Ho Stampers,

Well Saturday was my quarterly Diva/Dude Day.  We had to modify the name as we had TWO male teammates earn the title this time.  It was so much fun and everyone was so excited for both of them.  Diva/Dude Day was a concept that my friend Patsy Waggoner shared with me a few years ago and she shared at leadership this year. She was an amazing presenter!

My top 10 in sales and anyone that recruits for the quarter is invited to a very special stamping day.  I do all the preparation and they come and enjoy and stamp and eat!   Oh how we laughed!  So this is how it played out…

 My daughter Kate got up in the morning and started prepping the food.

 mmmmmmmm we had mini pies filled with cherries and some filled with apples.

 found this on Pinterest – the dip is in the bottom and the veges are all in individual cups (so much easier).

 Here is one of three tables filled with food.

The tables were set and ready for them to come. 

 Everyone had our new Twitterpated Fabric and Twitterpated Designer Series Paper and Blushing Bride Pleated Ribbon and Twitterpated Buttons and Maze Game pieces and more.

 Here's Dude Chris along with Val and MaryMargaret.

 They were all sewing and NO ONE was whining about it!  Believe it or not, they were all having FUN!

 More sewers.

more fun

more food! 

 Here is one of the cards I created for them to complete.

Black Magic Technique Card

Hi Ladies,

Before I show you the Black Magic Technique card that they did at convention, I wanted to share with you what I did.  This past Sunday, my very best friend from Kindergarten asked me to join her in a trip to Burlington, Vermont (it's only a two hour drive from Saratoga, New York and a very beautiful drive when you stay awake to see it).  Her daughter's work was putting on a fundraiser and she asked if I wanted to join in the fun.  It was a GORGEOUS day to participate in Zoe's Race which was a 5K event (we walked of course)!

We did the 5K WALK!  I want to share some of my pictures with you.

This is a tree house they built in the park that is completely wheelchair accessible.

Ready, set….okay when are they going to go?  We were in the very back so we didn't get run over.

We got to walk along Lake Champlain.

All ages could walk or run…okay so the little girls are beating us.  Aren't they cute.

Here I'm holding the rock up or is it the other way around?  We are almost done.  This was one of the rocks that makes up the sun dial in the park.

So here's my kindergarten buddy, Kathy, and they best part of the race…getting Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream (Coffee Heath Bar Crunch)!mmmmmmm  They had all kinds of food for us to eat. 

Here's Kathy's daughter Kaylan and boyfriend Josh.  Kaylan was one of the gals that organized the entire event.  She's such a doll.

Okay then we went into town and walked up and down Church Street. 

They had statues all over of cows.  We have horses here in Saratoga but they have cows!  It was a fun day.

Okay here is the card I was telling you about.  It's called Black Magic and it's just beautiful.

It's done with my favorite set from the catalog "Just Believe".  You use Stampin' Up's watercolor pencils and gel pen.  There is some Newsprint DSP and our new pearls.  The backgroung is brayered. Just a beautiful job she did demonstrating it. 

Well I'm off to my last workshop for the month.  Hope you enjoyed my post.  Stop back soon.
