More fun from Convention! - update Part 3

I'm home... boy did I sleep well last night!  Thank you for all your sweet emails and comments on my blog.. you are all special to me!  I'm still pinching myself, and when it all sinks in, I'm looking forward to an amazing year!  

Here is Jen with one of the fun Make & Takes from Convention (showcasing the fabulous new Pacific Point striped grosgrain ribbon, new chipboard and the new set we got FREE at Convention, "Eastern Blooms"):

This is the awesomely adorable fun bag to hold the new Big Shots die cut machine (Big Shot machine shown in front of bag):

And here are a few fun things made with the new BIG SHOT die cut machine:

Love love love love love this idea:

The die below was used in the photo above.  This is a "new world" to me to use this machine and the dies so we will be learning together, but boy am I excited about this new addition to Stampin' UP!

 

Here is a photo from Awards Night of the new Advisory Board for the upcoming year.. thanks to Aly for emailing me this morning to say hi !!  I know Joanne, and I got to meet Anna-Marie and Lynsay, but am looking forward to meeting and getting to know all the gals this year!

Patty, Congrats on your Advosory Board election, You deserve it. Can't wait to see the catty. Looks like alot of new and exciting possibilities from your pictures. The Ronald Mcdonald house stamp looks like it is compatable to the new square punch w/scallops. I'm excited.

Patty - Congrats once again on all your great accomplishments this year! You definitely deserve it. I was at Janice's meeting Friday night (I'm your "stalker" that checks your site everyday). Thank you for sharing everything with us. I'm actually going to dive in & start blogging next month when the kids go back to school. Eeek!

I'm very excited for you but I have one question, what does the board do for SU?

I'm new to all this so I have no idea.

Congratulations on making the Advisory Board...what an honor!!!

Hi Patty,

I just, again, wanted to say congratulations on being chosen for the Advisory Board. What a wonderful honor! You absolutely deserve it. It was so wonderful to see you at convention. I learned so many new stamping and scrapbooking techniques that I can't wait to implement into my business. Oh, I also wanted to tell you that I purchased the Workshop Wow DVD and the first presentation I watched was yours! You did a FABULOUS job. Your presentation gave me another reason to love the simply scrappin' kits.

Happy sttamping,

Lauren ;-)

Hi Patty- I feel as though I know you from viewing your blog daily but I don't believe we have ever met in person. I am a hobby demo not JUST a hobby demo ( quoting Shelly). I am also a former SU! Sam. I just wanted to say Congrats on making AB, I am so happy for you. I am good friends with my former SAMIE Anna-Marie and was thriled when she told me you also made the board. I said to her I feel like I already know her although I don't. Anyway congrats, I know you will do a fabulous job! Best of Luck!

Patty, I am so happy for you!! You so deserve to be on the advisory board. You are one talented lady. I was so thrilled to meet you and talk with you for a minute in the gathering place on Wednesday when we were trading cards.

[Bonnie M]

Patty, Big congratulations on your Advisory Board election! What a great opportunity, not only for you, but for all us demo's that you'll be representing. Hey, can't wait till you get your BS (big shot) too, cuz I want to see what you make w/it-I too am a stalker and read your blog daily, just to see what beautiful ideas you have, or to see pics of your lovely flowers!

[Kimberly Van Diepen]

Can't wait to spend time with you at Founders Patty!!! Congratulations!!

[Michelle]

I had the chance to meet and swap with you at convention. My friends and I frequent your site often. I am glad to know that you are as sweet in person, as you appear on your website. Being my 1st convention, there were a lot of mean ladies who refused to swap with me. I am guessing my cards were not up to their standards. It's too bad that there are people out there like that. Congratulations on your accomplishments! I am glad to know that you are on the advisory board - we need more "Patty's" to be examples and lead the way!

Congrats. But what is the advisory board? It sounds so studious. And loaded with tons of responsibility. Good luck!

[Erika Martin - Stampin' Mama]

Congratulations, Patty!!! How exciting!!

Who else made the AB? I haven't seen a full list anywhere.

Congrats on your awards!! It was so fun to finally meet you and see you at convention!!
