Getting ready for CONVENTION!

For the first time in the history of the world I actually started early on my swaps! Seriously I am a "do 'em in the car on the way there" kind of gal but this year I have to drive myself so I knew that wouldn't be a very good idea (and they would be all crooked so I probably wouldn't get anybody to swap with me anyway!) 

 My friend Tiffany came over and made her swaps at the same time. She and I are not "related" in the Stampin' Up world but we are both demonstrators and both going to convention so we had fun stamping together.
 We made quite a mess!
My pile is growing - it's a good job I did them then because life has been CRAZY since then and I have absolutely no time - I'll share some pictures of my finished card on Monday :-)
Have a great weekend!

Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference - last day :-(

Last days always make me sad! We'd had so much fun and my brain was totally spinning from all the information I'd received and tried to absorb. I went to some terrific classes - the one I'm going to use the most wasn't even stamping related, go figure, it was about the Agile organization system presented by a fellow demonstrator Dena. Super simple and no equipment required apart from a pile of post-it notes.              Being super disorganized and a terrible procrastinator I think it's really going to help me!   My other favorite classes were Lynsay Mahon's class about helping your downline, Connie Stewart's youtube class and all the stamping demonstrations.  Stampin' Up! events are SO FUN and you always learn so much... I'm already looking forward to convention, it promises to be a great one! Join my BLISS team of demonstrators and you could come with us! 
Here's a shot from the big screen as Shelli Gardner was stamping on the stage... We all got this stamp set, Oh Hello, and lots of great ideas on how to use it!

There were dozens of display boards with literally thousands of ideas, really overwhelming!

Here are my friends Jenn & Diana showing off the "silver" we received to celebrate Stampin' Up's 25th year!

Saying goodbye, sniff, sniff!

Traveling home and snacking on Canadian chocolate, yum! 

Since I got back I've held several classes so I have some great things to share with you and I'm working on a new video! Check back soon :-)
