Saturday was the last day of Convention 2013. Here are some highlights.
The morning began in General Session with Milestone marches.
These gals have all reached very significant career sales marks. Mary Polcin (not pictured) was honored for reaching the milestone of $1,500,000.00 in her career sales! Wow.
Then Sara Douglass wowed us with some fabulous class ideas using the new Holiday Calalog bundles.
Anniversary marches were next.
Tricia has been a demonstrator for 10 years now!
And Vicki has been a demonstrator for 5! So glad these fabulous women on my team were recognized today.
And this photo shows the 25 demonstrators (well, most of them) that have been with Stampin' Up! the longest. And I am connected to three of them – Margaret Goodfellow is my 5th level upline, Denise Waddell is my 4th level upline, and Tami Waddell is my 3rd level upline.
The 25th year anniversary was all that and more. This year EVERYONE that
attended got a prize from the 25 Prize Patrol times. That's a LOT of
product with 5,800 demonstrators in attendance!! And that's not
including the other free stamp sets and products that we all got. (Of
course I've packed it all away in the suitcases already. So I'll have to
post a photo of all the goodies later.) Here's Sandy awaiting her prize.
And this year's Heart of Stampin' Up! award recipient was Susie Miller! So glad, as this gal definitely deserves this highest of honors. She's touched the hearts of so many!

Sad to see this celebration come to a close, but I am walking away with so much… great memories, swaps, inspiration, education, ideas, motivation, and lots of free stuff.
I'm gonna be on a high for awhile when I get home – Just warning you.
Thanks, Stampin' Up! It was great!!
