Well after a 10 hour road trip my down line Janie and I have arrived in Orlando and we’re excited to start our first Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference tomorrow! It is a balmy 85 here in Orlando! Can you believe it? Is it really January? Since this is my first time in central Florida I enjoyed the scenery coming into the state and the lovely country side and my first glimpse of orange trees.

Today I thought I would share with you a little peak of what a trip to Stampin’ Up! Leadership looks like. Here are all the things that I packed to bring with me. I thought I did pretty good since my daughter said I was allowed to take ALL my clothes with me since I’m a girl “it’s allowed”. Now I know why a 3 day trip requires 3 suitcases for a 17 year old girl! I only forgot my pillow so since we hit the road at 4:30 a.m. I guess that isn’t too bad, right?

I’m really excited about swapping. That is something we demos do to share ideas, new products and designs. I’ll look forward to sharing some of these swaps with you when I return – so stay tuned.

So here is what my 163 swaps look like. Packed and ready to go. You’ll notice them in my new fabric tote in the previous photo.

Yes 163, I ran out of time to do any more since I was sick, but this is one of the favorite parts of getting together with other demos for me – the sharing of ideas.

And here is a sneak peek at a special project that I’ve made for my down line Leadership gift. Come back tomorrow and I’ll show you more.

Mean while I believe we’re going to head out and explore the city and meet some of our other demo friends. Did I already say I’m so excited?
