Farewell to Leadership 2014

The last day of Leadership 2014 in Houston came to a close Saturday afternoon – and it arrived too early for this stamper. I’ve truly enjoyed the time spent here in Houston learning new things, spending time with my roomie, and getting to know some of my fellow Demonstrators better. I’ve met folks from across the country and Canada – and we all speak the same language – the love of stamping. What fun!

The day flew by quickly –  morning session was filled with a laughter as we participated in our “game show”.

Brian Pilling was just too funny as he “hosted” the show, and of course Bonnie Thurber, whom was on the contestant panel,  was a hoot as the game became “competitive” trying to win for our teams. And who can forget Cori Hancock with her gigantic decorated mug! LOL

On to a special plated lunch one last time – how pampered I’ve felt these last few days. Stampin’ Up! makes these events extra special ones for us. Where else can you do what to love and pampered so?

The last general session included a final message from Shelli along with a surprise announcement of a NEW product we’ll be able to share with you soon – squeal and delight rippled through the crowd – (so stay tuned for more information coming your way soon.)

As we filtered out of the George R. Brown Convention Center I was tired but inspired and energized after a wonderful few days, but the day wasn’t done – since we still had the night to enjoy each other’s company and share time together before heading home on Sunday morning. (Pajama party anyone?)

Stop back by – Starting tomorrow I’ll be sharing some of the swaps I made to share and some that I received.

Stampin’ Up! Leadership 2013 – Day One

Oh the excitement. What a great day of meeting new friends and sharing stories!
Today started out with an organized swap where we spent 4 hours just stamping. What a blast that was. Here is a photo of me in the Manatee/Dolphin room in the Clarion, our hotel. Door prizes, chocolate and stamping – heaven! But shhh… don’t tell my husband remember I’m working.

The afternoon brought the beginning of the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference and a Meet & Greet at the Orange County Convention Center where we met up with friends. Here is a photo of all of us (Anna, Janie and I) at the Meet & Greet with Carrie Cudney, from training at Stampin’ Up!
