I have one last post for you with fun photos of my AMAZING week at the Stampin' UP! Founder's Circle Retreat.. then it's BACK TO STAMPING tomorrow!

 We were set up into groups on the first night, our group was Crane's Beach, and these were my fellow group members:

L to R: Diane, Tamye, Cindy, Patty and Aly

We are soooo spoiled on this trip.. this is a photo of the gifts I came home with ... believe me, packing was "creative" on the last night!

<< On our PJ Party Share and Swap night, I was asked to give a presentation about YouTube and how my videos have helped my business.

Below: 3 of the dearest people ever.. Sara, Mom Pat and Shelli:

Do you love this.. I had this little fabric tote and I added a fabric flower from Cindee to my tote... this was perfect for my cell phone, snail, camera and essentials while staying at the hotel.

How about this for a fun teaser... I'll show you how to make these flowers another time.. Cherry Cobbler Tulle gathered and heated with the Stampin' Up! Heat tool! (these were on Selma's apron)

I LOVE making new friends... this is one of my dearest friends Ruth (right), and our new friend Catherine.. what a SWEEEET lady!! 

 LEFT: our dearest friend at the Marriott, Carolyn

RIGHT: I love getting an annual photo with Shelli!

On Friday, we rode the bus from St. George to Kanab (about 1-3/4 hours) and toured the Stampin' Up! manufacturing facility there.. so exciting to see new changes!!

I will have ONE more Founder's Circle post later this week featuring our SWAP NIGHT activities.. but we'll be back to stamping ideas tomorrow. 

Thanks friends, for coming on my Founder's Circle journey with me this past week.. hope you enjoyed the photos!

Sounds and looks like you had a great time; thanks for sharing it with us. Stampin Up is a class act!

Oh what fun...and those thermal totes are really cute! I'll have to use that stamp & framelit to make a tag for the lunch tote I buy my daughter ea. year at Christmas.

[Joy Hannabass]

You had just too much fun Patti. I've really enjoyed your pictures of the fun things you got to do on your trip...and getting to know how things work at Stampin Up a little better.

Now to see how to make some of the fun things you learned!
Blessings.....Joy

Hi Patty. It looks like you all had a wonderful time. The Colorado River trip must have been amazing. If I had gotten into card making when I was younger, I would have become a demonstrator. At least I can enjoy it now and share with my friends and neighbors. Keep on enjoying!

[Dawn Bullock]

I can only dream of achieving this someday. Looks totally amazing and so glad you were rewarded for all your hard work!

[Mary Roberson]

Thanks for taking and sharing your photos, Patty. It makes me feel like I'm a part of whats going on...It sure looks like you ladies have really felt pampered and have enjoyed your trip. I think its great that Stampin Up! appreciates their employees. I know you have worked hard along the way, to get where you are now, congrats on your success! Its much deserved.
