I’m baaaaaack!!

Hidy ho stampers,

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.
