Hello Dolls!
I am so incredibly sorry for leaving you all hanging these last few days. The pace we kept at Convention this year would make most of you want to cry! If we got 4-5 hours of sleep each night we were lucky! When paired with excitement, emotion and travel you end up with............ A WICKED COLD! So that's where I am today, in bed, forced to sit still, long enough to write a post! lol
So, let's backtrack to Thursday July 22nd! which was Awards Night in Salt Lake City! What a wonderful time we all had, and I was honored to be Demonstrator of the Year #13! I am very proud of myself and all my hard work this year, but I already have my sights set higher for next year! lol Here are some pictures of this great evening!
Above is my good friend Rose-Ellen!
For any Demonstrators out there, I'm sure you know Dina! She is the most FAMOUS Canadian Demonstrator! For those non Demo's out there, Dina is from Toronto, Ontario and I met her last year at Leadership in Phoenix!
Above is my hard working and talented downline Lindsay who currently lives WAY TOO FAR AWAY in Amherstview, Ontario just outside Kingston!
Above is my good friend Patty Chenail. Patty is from Moosup, Conneticut! We met at Founders Circle last year
This is the Dashing Dale Filmore and his beautiful Wife! Dale is the Chief Financial Officer for SU!
I'm sure I don't need to introduce Shelli to most of you, but just in case, above is the Amazing, Gracious, Talented, Kind, BEAUTIFUL Shelli Gardner! Shelli is the founder and CEO of Stampin'Up!
Here are my beautiful Prairie Paper Dolls! From left to right - Cheryl Hirst, Leanne Stitko, Charlene Penny, Lindsay Longley, Fran Koop, Myself and Alanna Wharf. We are missing poor Jamie Friesen, who was not feeling well and had already headed for bed!
Friday July 23rd was my 30th birthday! GROSS! LOL but we had a really great day of classes, swaps, make and takes and I even treated myself to a massage! When the sessions were over for the day, the girls took me out for a wonderful dinner! It was a great way to spend my birthday!
Saturday was the last day of Convention. We had another great day of General Session, Classes, Swaps and visiting with Friends.
It seems to be getting harder and harder to say Good Bye to my friends until we meet again either at Founder's Circle in September, Leadership in January or perhaps even until Convention in SLC next year!
On Saturday night after we packed all our goodies up, we had some time to look at some Swaps we collected during the week! Here are a few sneak peeks of some of the beautiful cards which I will have on display at my open house in August!
This first card is from the "Vintage/Distressed" swap I was in. It features Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla and Encore Gold Ink. Stencils are my newest favorite and this is just one way that they can be used!
This next card features the Fancy Flower, En Francais and Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. The Colors are Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Pretty in Pink!
This next card features one of our newest Embossing Folders to be used with the Big Shot. The Stamp Set used here is from the Perfect Punches set.
This last card is probably the most simple and is one of my favorites. The Butterfly on the card has been die cut with the Big Shot and then Stamped with our Elements of Style Stamp Set.
