Conventional Highlights

What an absolute honor to be invited as a guest speaker to my friends' team training event this past weekend in Chicago.  Connie Sylvester and Susan Gardner, two of my absolute favorite demonstrator friends, invited me to share information on what I do to create a fabulous workshop experience for my hostesses and guests.  They had 80 ladies join us, and did a phenomenal job at putting on this event!

My friend Beverly and I arrived in Chicago on Saturday afternoon and were blessed to have dinner with Pam Morgan, VP of Demonstrator Relations at Stampin' Up!  We joined Pam, and 6 other demonstrators for a fabulous dinner.... the BEST either of us had ever had!

Pam and Beverly:

Sunday evening we were treated to a FABULOUS stamp camp where we made an awesome project. (pictures of that coming soon!)

Sunday/Monday shared my presentation, and we were delighted to have Pam share a special message from Shelli Gardner (owner of SU!) as well as demonstrations of items coming out in the next Holiday Mini Catalog.  What a treat to have her there as one of us... just hanging out and chatting for the weekend!

Here are a few pictures of the gifts they made for us.  Susan made me this Simply Adorned Necklace/charm.  It is so beautiful!

And here are a couple of the gifts for Pam. This is an adorable sampler frame.

And a personalized stationery set made from a 3 dimensional acrylic frame.

I'll be posting more pics of our FABULOUS make and takes, as well as the incredible swaps I got.  These ladies are amazing stampers!
