Hi Stampers!

Another week has flown by and I just don’t know where this time is going.  It’s been two weeks since Frabill has shut down and I don’t think I’ve got anything done!

Oh well… no need to dwell on that, I have packing to do.  I will be spending this weekend preparing for my trip to Salt Lake City for the 2013 Stampin’ Up! national Convention.  It’s always a good time.  I’m going out with 5 of my “Star’s” – downline members and I always run into fellow demonstrators from other states that I have become friends with over the past 13 years.

I’d like to share a little of this experience with you today.  Since we fly in before convention begins, we do a lot of sight-seeing.  This is some of the whimsical art SLC (Salt Lake City) has along our walk to the convention center.

Stampin’ Up! always offers tours to the home office, I’ve been there several times but enjoying going there.  It’s just a short trip to Riverton.  This is the view you see when you walk in the front doors … amazing!  The employees can also eat their lunch …. by the waterfall.

Each year, Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from across the US and Canada gather for three days of education, celebration, and motivation. Convention always includes time to swap cards, attend business classes and new-product demonstrations, participate in Make & Takes, and enjoy time with the best stampers in the world!

 If you need samples … not a problem at Convention!

Ok… If you are wondering why I have a painted flower on my face and the plastic “peace sign” necklace – we were attending the Opening “Social”.  Each year they have a “theme”… guess what this one was!

Here I am with my downline member and friend Connie, Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-founder of Stampin’ Up!) in the hat and her husband Sterling.  Aren’t we “groovy”!  Peace!

I’m looking forward to this years convention … It’s their 25 year anniversary, so it’s going to be FUN!

We’re leaving on Tuesday which gives us 2 days to sight-see and explore.  I may need that first day to sleep… I never seem to be able to sleep before I go on vacation! LOL

I’ll keep you posted on all the updates and excitement!
