And so the fun begins! As almost a thousand of us converge onto the George R Brown Convention Center. General Session is about to begin and my stamping buds Kathleen and Marni wait with me to go in to find our seats.

Shelli Gardner, our CEO and Cofounder greets us with a message an a challenge for the conference. Along with some exciting new product news! I can’t wait for you to see the new fantastic line being introduced this spring.

Wonderful Displays to see

and display boards too.

A beautiful setting using the Celebration Basics – making a lovely, quick and easy event for anyone.

Party favors – so simple when you use our Kraft Gift Boxes

Kathleen and I joined in to make a difference with the Stampin’ Up! service project. Our goal to assemble 500 birthday kits that will be delivered to the Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital here in Houston.

After a wonderful day of sharing and learning new things I enjoyed a dinner out with new friends

at the Quartto Restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel where I had the evenings special – a lovely presentation.

Then off to the hotel to get ready for the next day – stop by tomorrow and I’ll share more of Leadership 2014 with you.
