Stampin' Up! Convention highlights - Founders Circle
July 23, 2010
Greetings from Utah! I am at our annual Stampin' Up! convention and wanted to report in about my visit to the Awards booth with my friend Ruth.... we went to the Awards booth together on the first day to receive our free stamping sets as rewards for our recruiting and sales efforts, and we were both awarded with a Founders Circle bag, which means we placed somewhere in the top 100 of the company!!!
It was so exciting to receive a bag and know that we would be going on the Founder's Circle trip together this fall! Here is a close-up of the lovely bag...
So, as I am typing this... we are awaiting the Awards Night ceremony tonight.. I'll come back and finish up this post with a report on how it went... can you believe my dear hubby and son are driving up here from CA just to be with me on Awards Night!? Oh my gosh.. amazing!
OH MY GOODNESS>>> I am AMAZED and still in shock.. just got back fromthe Awards Night as I am typing this on Thursday night... I placed #8 in the company in the number of 1st level demonstrator Sr. Associate Promotions, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the HUGE SHOCK was that I placed #5 in the ENTIRE COMPANY for Demonstrator of the year !!!!!
Here are the TOP 10 DEMONSTRATORS OF THE YEAR, and I am right in the middle at #5 !!!
Can you believe my DEAR sweet husband and son DROVE ALL THE WAY UP FROM San Francisco to be here tonight!!!??? It was such a thrill to share this evening with them!!! Thank you guys LOVE YOU! :)
And here I am with roommate and dear friend Stella, and LONG time DEAR sweet friend Jan Wakeland.. they both have big news too, but I'll let them share that on their blogs.. love you sweet friends!
I have soooooooo many photos and amazing experiences to share with you and it was only Day 1 of Convention today! Please stay tuned each day!
Patty
