Hi friends. Today I’m sharing Part 2 of my adventures at Stampin’ Up! Inspire. Create. Share. Convention 2015. If you missed Part 1, you can read it here.
The first evening of Convention this year was Awards Night. I always love to see all the top demonstrators dressed up and accept their awards on stage. It’s so inspiring to see the women and men that make Stampin’ Up! a successful company.
Well, this year I was in for the shock of my life! Guess who was named as one of the top 20 demonstrators in Canada? ME! What?!?!
As you can tell from my very casual attire, I certainly wasn’t expecting to walk on that stage, but SO thankful that I did! So what does being in the top 20 mean? Well, check out my adorable new tote – cute, right? AND in September I’ll be joining the other top 19 Canadian demonstrators and top 100 US demonstrators for an all expenses paid retreat in St.George, Utah! I’m SO excited to have this time to relax and rub shoulders with many of my stamping idols – I just hope I don’t geek out too bad!
I am so very thankful for this amazing opportunity, and without my amazing customers and fabulous team of demonstrators none of what I do would be possible. I quite literally cannot put into words how grateful I am. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. I love you.
I hope you’ll come back tomorrow to read Part 3 of my Convention adventures!
Happy Stampin’
