It's over and I'm back at my hotel room packing up. We had such a great time! (Wanna join us next year!?) Here are some pics from yesterday and today to tempt you all to get the Stampin' Up! starter kit so you can come have fun with us crazy stampers in 2015. (Or the Leadership Conference in Orlando – open to ALL demonstrators this year.)
Friday, July 18th
The morning started with General Session…This was the walk across stage for earning the Hawaii Grand Vacation! Fun ideas with Blendabilities markers shown by Donna Griffith followed. Then SU president, Rich Jutkins shared the latest news of the company.
It's always a great time sitting with my team during General Session.
Here is Cheryl Lee, Sandy Charmoli, Tricia Josephs (also my roommates this year), and Tim Georgi whooping it up.
Fellow demonstrator, Terri Gaines (shown on the left) wowed us in my next class that afternoon.
I relaxed in the Recognition Room with some other "sisters"…BJ Peters, Dena Rekow, Kay Kaltoff and Georgia Giguere (next to me) doing an iphone selfie.
Look at the treats that were scattered on all the tables!
I walked right past Sandy and Tricia who were sitting right out in the open while I was trying to text them to find them. That was a good laugh.
After dinner, we gathered back at the Convention Center for Awards Night. Below is Shelli Gardner, the co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up!
LeeAnn Greff, Ann Clemmer and I (along with others) walked across stage for earning the Achiever's Bonus!
Lots of well-deserving, hard-working demonstrators were also recognized that evening in the areas of Leadership (helping downline to promote) and Sales.
These are the Artisan Award winners.
And here are the new Advisor Board members for the 2014-15 Catalog year!
We took some "fancy and handsome" team photos afterwards. Here I am with my "sisters" Carol Rosengren, Linda Larson, Susan Campfield (my upline) and Sandy Stellenberg.
And this is our whole group (well…most of them).
Then we all headed in to the After Party to celebrate!
Yippee for my friend, Julie Davison!!! She made Advisory Board, a well-deserved honor.
Tim rode the mechanical bull. Hee-haw!
Traci, Susan and Brenda had a great time on the dance floor line-dancing.
Saturday, July 19th
Carol, my sweet "sister" marched Saturday morning during General Session for her 15 years. And I was honored to walk celebrating my $400K career sales milestone.
Tricia won a plethora of Project Life by Stampin' Up!® products during the morning session prize patrol!
Later that afternoon Sue Dyas and Gloria Muñoz were 2nd in line to see Shelli Gardner. So before Shelli arrived, we quick took a photo with the fancy paper flower background. (Others were doing the same thing, so we all helped each other take photos.)
Thankfully Shelli thought it was hilarious that her seat was all warmed up.
Here's another iphone selfie in the Recognition Room with Rose Marie Coleman, Lyssa Zwolanek, and Kay Smith.
During the last General Session Lisa Nelson and Julie Haugen (best friends) each lucked out during prize patrols.
Shelli wowed us with more fun and creative ideas before we bringing Convention 2014 to an end. Here are a few samples she shared.
Thank you all for a fabulous year. I love what I do!
I'm so excited that the next Grand Vacation to earn is a Mediterranean Cruise. I'm gonna "work" extra hard for that trip of a lifetime.
