Ruthless Stamping

Tea Shoppe Event

What a fabulous time we had at our Tea Shoppe event on March 24! Forty women stamping, eating, laughing, and enjoying each other!  Did you miss it?  Here are some pictures that tell the story of a great day!

When everyone arrived, they got to pick their own teacup and saucer.  When they got to their table, there was a bag with their initial on it for them to put their projects in throughout the day. 

These ladies are having a great time working on their projects.

Come back tomorrow for more pictures from this wonderful event!

Founder's Circle Memories

I have been gone for a while, and I apologize!  It had been busy here with classes, clubs, and wedding plans!  The wedding is this Saturday, and we will be having the rehearsal dinner here in our patio on Friday night, so there is lots to do! But I have been hoping for days to get back to blogging, so here I am!

    You might remember that I attended the fabulous Founder's Circle trip in September!  I wanted to share some memories from that trip with you.

    

I arrived at the Las Vegas airport and was taken the 2 hours to St George Utah where Stampin' Up! takes over the Marriott Courtyard hotel there.  This sign was outside the hotel to greet us.  

We went inside for a late lunch and then on to the Gathering Place where we played a
 fun get acquainted game.  We were each given this darling butterfly net filled with 5 butterflies, all the same color.  We were to go around and collect five different colored butterflies from other demonstrators. When we had them we returned to the welcome table and received a brand new stamp set.. one that will be in the upcoming Occasions mini catalog!  Yippee!  So sorry... I can't show it to you! But you will love it when you see it!

After the game we went to our rooms to get unpacked and ready for the welcome dinner.  And LOOK what greeted me when I got the door of my room!

MY NAME!  ON THE DOOR!  How fun is that?

After unpacking, I went downstairs for dinner!  What fun!

Our "charger" was a saucer for a flower pot, and we had a lovely butterfly napkin ring, and a sweet welcome note from Shelli!  We enjoyed a great turkey dinner, and then for dessert.... 

my sweet friend Debbie (from Florida) and I shared this fabulous chocolate dessert! YUM!

Later that evening, when I got to my room, look what was on my pillow!

Another BRAND NEW stamp set, the new in-color pens,and ribbons, all packaged in our new gusseted envelopes from SU!  

It was a fabulous and wonderful first day!  I'll be back tomorrow with details from the second day at Founder's Circle!

More Convention Fun

There are so many things to do at convention!  One of the most fun and a big highlight for demonstrators is SWAPPING!  Swapping happens everywhere!  In the lines for the Momento mall, at the tables for lunch, in the hotels, on the Main Stage floor in between speakers, walking to and from workshops, in the elevators, at restaurants, at the airport, on the plane, ... everywhere!   Everyone works hard to make swaps to exchange at convention so we can home with new ideas to share with our wonderful customers!

    Since I knew I wouldn't be "out and about" during convention, but would be speaking, I decided to instead attend a couple of PLANNED swaps.  One of them was planned by a good friend and fellow demonstrator, Barbara Jackson.  Barbara is local to me (living in Rancho Cucamonga) and I have been privileged to attend some of the classes she has in her home.  She is AMAZING!   I just love how she "thinks outside the box"!

    This event was for a WOW swap.  Your card had to have layers, and embellishments, and be GREAT!  And you had to make FIFTY of them!  But of course you knew you are going to get back some equally wonderful swaps!

    The event was held on the Wednesday evening, after I had been in rehearsal all afternoon.  It was held at the Marriott, where I was staying, so that was great.. and it included dinner!  YIPPEE!

   When my dear roommate, Rebecca, and I entered the room, we were amazed!  This wasn't a SWAP.. it was an EVENT!  I wanted to share it with you!

   Everything was decorated in black and white with yellow. Barb has as her "mascot" the BEE, so all her helpers had on darling yellow aprons wiht bees.. I am so sorry I didn't get a picture of that.  The tables had black and white polka dotted table toppers, and the chef from the "VOILA" stamp set announced our dinner menu.  After dinner we collected our bag that had our Initials on them ("R" for Ruth and Rebecca) and then we went from table to table to do our projects, while Barbara and her staff divied up our swaps, and put them in another set of fabulous bags for us.  We also got lovely gifts... a little note holder, and some mento mints wrapped in black and white dotted fabric!  There were door prizes, and when Barbara asked me to go and pick out a name, I picked my own!  How fun was that?

    I'll show you more of this event soon...

    Keep coming back!

 

 

   

 

 

Stampin' Up! Convention

Stampin' Up! convention is an amazing event!  It is filled with lots of excitement, lots of new ideas and samples and things to purchase. The biggest highlight for me is seeing the wonderful friends I have made through Stampin' Up!  AND this year, it was pretty exciting to be a featured presenter!  

 

    I received a call from Stampin' Up! in March asking me to speak at convention.  I was shocked!  But of course I said yes.. What an honor.  And then, began the work!  Lots of work getting my thoughts together, writing them up, and going through five revisions.  I worked with Shannon West from the Training Dept at Stampin' Up! and she was WONDERFUL.  It was an great experience, and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

 

    The day before I left for the convention, I was feeling pretty crummy.  I was diagnosed with Shingles.. so painful.  I wasn't sure how I was going to make it through the packing, plane ride, ride to the hotel, and then all that would be ahead with the convention, speaking, etc.  But lots of people were praying for me, and I made it through with God's help!

 

 

    

    

   I came upon a lovely blog today, and look what I found!

These pictures of me, speaking! How fun is that!  So, here I am.. speaking to 3,000 demonstrators in the Salt Palace Convention Center in SLC.  I actually spoke 4 times, to 750 people each time.  It was so fun!  I loved it!  I'll share more from convention tomorrow.  Maybe next year you could join me!
