Watch the theme song video, it pretty catchy!

Every Stampin'Up! convention has a theme and the year's theme was "i am....."

We were to fill in the blank with what fit us.  I am a wife, a mother, a daugther, a sister, a friend, but after thinking about all those things and everything I have in my life, I decided the most of all....

I am Blessed!

Smiles,

Name Dropping

At the Stampin'Up! convention, between all the swapping and what not, we had the opportunity to attend some amazing classes plus general session. Jason Dorey started us off. He studies the different generations and what makes each one different from the others. It was a little unnerving to find out I'm in generation "X" but act more like a "Baby Boomer!" At the ensd of our classes we were told that if we went on facebook and mentioned names we might have the chance to win a free stamp set, so bare with me. (If you don't know this already, an addicted stamper will do just about anything for a free stamp set!)
Here goes:

Brian Pilling/I am a Leader
Emily Montoya/I am Reaching Out
Pam Morgan/I am making Money
Shannon West /I am Having Fun (This class was really fun, I even learned some new dance moves.)

My most favorite classes were with Carrie Cutney/I am open for Business and Bonnie Thurber/I am doing Business "My Way." Both of these ladies are so much fun to listen to and I really learned alot. Wish me luck that I win that free stamp set!

Smiles,
Stacey

Beautiful Convention Swaps!

This year at the Stampin'Up! convention for the first time I participated in two organized swaps.  What that means is that the swaps have to meet certain quality standards, not just a general swap.  The result of an organized swap......beautiful cards!  This one was one that my friend received, which was in the same swap, but a different group.  Isn't just amazing!  It uses the emboss resist technique with ink sponging.

Enjoy and check back over the next couple of days for more card swap pictures.

Stampin'Up! Convention 2012

I'm back from four fun filled days of the Stampin'Up! Convention!  We stamped, we chatted with old friends, made new friends, we celebrated, we laughed and of course we swapped!  It's the best Stampin'Up! event of the year!  3,500 demonstrators from around the United States all gathered to soak in the excitement.  I took tons of pictures on al the display boards, but for some reason I didn't take very many pictures of my friends.  I guess we having just too fun to stop and take a picture.  We did get a picture with our favorite Momento Mall checker....he was the best!  We all came home we more free fabric in our suitcases than we know what to do with!

Hello?

I'm so sorry I've been away for so long, in fact so longer that Blogger changed the layout of my blog and how I have to start a whole new learning curve!  It's been a long, busy school year, but Zach made it through the 7th grade with flying colors.....yeah!  I'm not sure who's more excited for summer, Zach or me.

Some exciting this are happening in June with my Stampin'Up business.  A brand new catalog has arrived and boy oh boy am I in trouble!  I keep thinking I've got it all and couldn't possibly "need" another thing and every years blows that theory right out of the water!  Every year they come up with more and more cool stuff and wait until you see the new Holiday Mini.....my oh my....my wish list is getting longer by the day!

What's really cool, is that during the month of June if you sign up to be a demonstrator you will get to pick out $175 worth of products all for only $99!  That's an additional $50 over the normal $125.  What a cool way to get everything on your list!  The coolest part is the starter kit is fully customizable with what ever you what!  How cool is that!?

Here are a couple save the dates:  June 23rd I'm having a Craft Sale for 10-2 pm at my house.  I've been cleaning out the craft room and I've got lots of stuff!

Stamp Camp is on Friday June 29th from 6-10 pm.  More information to come, so stay tuned!

Have a great day,
Stacey
