Stampin’ Up! Convention, Inspire, Create and Share was ALL that and more!  I will be sharing some highlights over the next several days.  There is nothing like convention – there were about 4, 000 demonstrators in attendance this year – and when you have that many people together who are passionate about stampin’, it is bound to be a GREAT time! 

My roommate this year, was my friend and downline, Linda Lanik.  She is adorable and was a great roommate!  We had a ton of fun – here is our feeble attempt at taking a selfie – we kept laughing, none of our attempts turned out great, but this is probably the best one – 

She also gave me a gorgeous notebook – (not sure if she knows of my obsession love of notebooks – but it was the perfect gift for me! 
Thanks, Linda!  I LOVE it!

 This notebook features the Flower Patch stamp set and coordinating framelits.  These products are bundled together for a 15% savings.  Order the bundle here!

Another highlight for me, was the chance to meet Becky Higgins.  She is the founder of Project Life and we (Stampin’ Up!) recently formed a partnership with her.  She held a Mix and Mingle, and I was so glad to get to attend!  She is darling! – I love the new Project Life by Stampin’ Up! products, and am so excited to start documenting my life using this easy, quick, affordable system! 

 Here she is taking a photo of everyone waiting to visit with her! 
Too cute! 

 Another thrill for me, was to be named to Founder’s Circle again this year – wow!  Sure didn’t expect it this year, but am soooo thankful to my customers, and team, and of course my family for their continual support!  Love you all and am truly grateful for all of you !  XXOO 

The photo below was taken at Awards Night, and is with two of my dearest Stampin’ friends – Lisa Lange and Janice Weightman.   I love them both and enjoyed spending time with them at convention.  Janice has been a great mentor to me throughout my time as a demonstrator and wouldn’t have accomplished all that I have without her leadership and guidance!  Thanks, Janice! 

Lisa is a beautiful stamper and I always enjoy seeing her creations!  
 

 All Founder’s Circle members were given a really cute bag and a beautiful corsage – shown below! We don’t find out until the Awards Ceremony if we have qualified, so it makes the actual ceremony very exciting!
