Soooo - what happens in VEGAS does not stay in VEGAS!

We bring it all back - to share with you!

Recently I had the privilege of attending OnStage Stampin' Up! in LasVegas with eight of my Amazing Team Members.  What a great event.  I always come back super energized - so am going to share a bit with you today.  Those of us who attended got our Annual catalogs - these won't be available to the other demonstrators and our customers till sometime in May - and we can't order from it till June (but watch for a sneak peek special in May.)  Anyway - it is AMAZING - we can't share much now - but you will LOVE it!  So if you want your very own copy and do not have a U.S. demonstrator - or are already my customer - please let me know and you will get yours in May.  If you have another demonstrator - please contact them to receive your copy.

Friday afternoon we arrived and I had this wonderful room - 

With an awesome view - 

All SU demonstrators who achieved the level of Silver Elite or above got star treatment at CentreStage on Friday night - great food, training and prizes - here's my haul from that night - not bad!

And of course I have to share food pictures - it was all sooo yummy!

The best part was seeing my TEAM members that were able to come from all over (several states) to be there - 

Kelea, Paula, Toni, Sarah, Kathy, Rina, Jean, Me, and Vicki!

Our TEAM did a group swap - just look at these great cards - they did an amazing job!

  And, even though it was a card swap - one of my Team members, Kelea, made these awesome mugs for each of us.  I am a coffee lover - so any mug gets me excited - but our Team Name is the Crazy Stamping Ladies - so how cool is that!!!  You will see me with this mug - often!  See you soon ~Maureen

Convention Prizes and More Prizes!!

So at this year's SU convention everyone was a winner!!   That's right - every single person there won prize patrol and that was besides all the awesome goodies we got and the all convention give-aways!

Jacqui and Toni

Then they announced that 25 LUCKY ladies - who had not yet gotten a prize would receive this - Every stamp set in the Holiday Catalog!

And our very own Kathy B was one of those lucky 25!!!  It was her first convention and what a high note to end it on!

Can you see how excited she was - and we all were for her?!?

Since they were going to ship the stamps to their homes - they each got this great hand made card congratulating them.   What a sweet keepsake.

What a fun and exciting convention for all of us.  If you'd like to join my team and join us at Convention next year - just let me know!!  I'd be happy to discuss all the possibilities!!  ~Maureen

Convention Continued

A lot of you who follow my blog know that I LOVE clouds.  I tend to always look at the sky (better looking up than down - correct :)  Sometimes the cloud formations make just feel soooo close to God - and that's way these did.  I was really having trouble with my autoimmune - and walking was difficult - but then I looked up and saw this amazing picture in the sky and I felt such peace.  Isn't it beautiful?

Here's a quick picture of the note I left on the wall at SU's message room - It was really difficult to even find a small part of the wall that had not been written on - so I had to stand on tiptoes behind the door - but I did it.  The Crazy Stamping Ladies left their mark.

Finally a quick picture of all the new goodies I got to go home with - isn't that CRAZY!!! This is why you have to bring an extra suitcase when you travel to convention.

See you soon!!! ~Maureen

Convention - Wonderful Prize Patrol

I wanted to share with you the wonderful prize I won at Convention from Prize Patrol - it was this great bundle of products with a long piece of lace ribbon. In the bundle were Perfectly Penned wood set, Under the Big Top DSP, and the Big Top Birthday Quick Accents. It was soooo exciting to win. One other person in our group, Theresa, also won a prize - she had warned us that if she won she was going to be excited - and she was :)
She won a bundle of new Holiday products from the upcoming mini - so I can't show - but it is all very lovely!! Convention is wonderful and if you'd like to join us next year, think about signing up under the wonderful $99 special SU has going right now. Full details are in this post -
