Thanks to all my wonderful friends and SU! customers, I earned a wonderful all-expense paid trip to beautiful St. George, Utah with other top SU! Demonstrators. Here's a few highlights of my trip last week.
Thanks for looking!
Our first night at Founder's Circle we were assigned a table. I was on the Red team, and here are my table/team mates: Audra, Nancy, Jenn, Shari, Susan and Laurie. We are the "Sticky Strips!"
Beef Wellington with "SU!" formed in puff pastry! Fun and delicous.
Our first treat from the Sweet Shoppe was candy apples! This one was coated with cinnamon & sugar, so tasted like an apple pie - wow, it was good.
Our first full day started with a trip to Kenab, where the SU! stamps are manufactured. We had a fun bus ride with snacks and games. Here is Pam Morgan, a SU! Corporate Team member, passing out tons of goodies.
My sweet friend Missy won bingo 3 times!
The staff at Kenab came out to greet us and give us high 5's. It gave me goosebumps!!
My friends Ruth and Josee.
We got to tour Shelli Gardner's apartment, which is above the plant. I think it is bigger than my house! She has beautiful decorations and antiques throughout the whole place.
I love her kitchen curtains made from aprons.
More antiques....
Shelli treats us all like family!
Cozy!
My friend Susan and I pose by "the rock."
Our picnic lunches came in these cute black lunch "purses."
MMMMM....chocolate mousse pie for dessert! We also had creme brulee......yum-o.
We love our bags!
Lunch with 100 stampers!!
My buddy Audra and me at the picnic.
The playground uses old rubber from stamps instead of wood chips - cool!
My friends Connie & Barb. The best thing about this trip is making new friends and re-connecting with old friends.
Pillow gift! This was waiting on my bed when I got home that night....a beautiful paper "cupcake" made from Stampin' UP! ribbons and dies, with a beautiful Simply Adorned necklace made by Shelli! What a treat!
We got to attend a 1/2 day SU! Regional in St. George. I got to see my friend Shannon, who was one of the SU! staff and presenters.
We got a sneak peak of the new "Eat Chocolate" stamp set - you can get one if you join my SU! team this week!
Makin' and takin' with Audra, Nancy, Shelli, and Tiffany.
Me and the "chef" at the Painted Pony restaurant downtown St. George.
A fun dinner out with the girls.
Pajama party time! Me in my new jammies with Angie and Cara.
Check out Dawn's jammies - they're made from our new Candy Cane fabric! So cute.
These ladies made our time so special! They're the team from the SU! home office. They dressed like soda ladies the whole weekend.
It's crazy card swapping time! With the help of my MIL and my awesome friends Michelle and Sara, I made 135 cards to swap!
My friend Stella and I toasting to the occasion.
Mary Ann, Connie and Audra ready to swap....Tess got in the picture, too!
The next day - the big final event. Lunch and Wii bowling!! Here I'm with Jenn Jacobson and Sarah Douglas (Shelli's daughter). We're the Sticky Strips!
We love Wii bowling! Even though we didn't win.....
I had to sneak one more pic of me and Shelli in.
Last night at Founder's....we all went to Tuacahan, an outdoor theatre, where we saw "Crazy for You." Here are some Texas girls: Ann, April, Jackie, Christy, Sharon, and me.
Here I am with my friend Margret.
A great show, and a great end to Founder's!
Thank you to all my wonderful friends and customers, without you I wouldn't have this opportunity. And thanks to Stampin' UP! for being such a wonderful company to work for. I love my job! :)
It looks like ya'll had a great time! Everything was sooo cute! :) You deserve it! Congrats on the trip!
