Stampin’ Up! Featured in Newspaper Article and on Blog

Several media outlets attended Convention 2009 in Salt Lake City. Deseret News, a local newspaper, published a two-page spread about Stampin’ Up! on August 17.

Do you ever have one of those days?

Posted on August 20, 2009August 20, 2009 by Josee

You know…when you actually get up on the "RIGHT" side of the bed?! That’s the day I’m having! Life is good!

I’m busy planning my team Awards Night for tomorrow and am so looking forward to celebrating their accomplishments! We’ll have awesome presentations from Maggie Patterson and Kim Assaly…who both attended the Stampin’ Up! convention and came back with a wealth of knowledge to share with us. I’ll have my yummy chocolate fountain going for the girls (shhhh…don’t tell!) AND we have 3 fabulous make and takes for them. I’ll show you next week!

I’m also happy to have started a new stampers club and we had such a great time stamping together and getting to know each other! I’m actually looking for 1-2 more members…so, if you’re interested in joining us next month, let me know!

Yesterday I found time to put my "EAT" in my kitchen and my All in the Family Decor Elements on my van! They both look so awesome! Even my kids and hubby loved them! Check out pages 19 and 27 of the Definitely Decorative Brochure to see them! I’ll take photo’s soon to share with you! PLUS I ordered the "Tree, Thoughts & Prayers" AND "Direction of your Dreams" (pg. 14) to put in my bedroom…I can’t wait! I’m on a roll…with Decor Elements, they are so easy to put up, are economical and look so beautiful!

I got all my left-over RETIRED STAMPS organized and listed HERE ready to shop from!

AND I even got a whole bunch of stamping done in the last week and was feeling the fun in my stamp room! Here’s one of the cards I made for someone…I think it adorable and perfect for a child’s birthday! (Idea inspired by LeeAnn Greff)

Last week, I had such a great time with my family at Camp Iawah in Westport during family camp. This was our 6th year attending and now that the kids are getting older…the best year yet! My older two kid’s had much more freedom and loved being able to play with their friends. We did archery, knee-boarding, playing at the beach, canoeing, singing by the camp fire, rock climbing and more! PLUS we got fed like Kings and Queens…what could be better than that?!?!?!

My only regret is that once again I wasn’t able to attend Stampin’ Up!’s yearly convention. I got to see all the news and pictures I could online and it sounds like the ladies had a blast!

I heard from some demonstrators and my SAM (service account manager) late Thursday night after the Awards Ceremony that I earned #8 Demonstrator of the Year for Canada! I’m so excited to once again get to go to the Founder’s Circle Trip for the top demo’s. This year, we will be going to St. George, Utah for a fabulous 5 day all-expenses paid holiday! I’m really looking forward to it!

I want to thank all of my fabulous customers and demonstrators who have helped me achieve this award! THANKS SO MUCH!

I also found out that one of the demonstrator’s in my group, Nancy Gauthier was awarded the #2 Demonstrator of the Year. She had an awesome year and is an amazing demonstrator who offers tons of support to her customers and demonstrators! She is truly an inspiration! PLUS to add to her excitement… she also found out that she is 30 weeks pregnant…can you believe she didn’t know until a couple of weeks ago. After years of being told she couldn’t conceive, she was given this wonderful surprise! (if you can read french, you can find her story here) CONGRATS NANCY!

Here’s a photo of Nancy & I working on our make and take’s at last year’s Founder’s Circle Trip!
