Happy Anniversary to Me!!

Happy Anni-vers-ary to me!
Happy Anni-vers-ary to me!

I can't believe I've been with Stampin' Up!
exactly 9 years ago today. 
I remember the day that I signed up. 
It was a cold snowy day here in Ohio and they had
closed schools that day due to the weather.
I was surfing on the internet
and made the conscience decision to sign up
with Stampin' Up! basically just for the discount. 
I already loved the stamps,
the coordinating colors, and all they had to offer.
After I found out the many benefits you
get as a demonstrator,  I contacted someone in
Reynoldsburg and signed up that day!

Nine years later, I've got 10 people under me. I've walked across stage at convention several times, and I've won two incentive trips - Panama Canal and Hawaii.  I've had a chance to travel to conventions, leadership conferences and regionals all over United States.

I've received many free stamps and gifts along the way!

Best of all....I've met such wonderful people like you
who have become my friends!

Thank you for NINE WONDERFUL YEARS!

I'm Back from San Antonio!

I just got back from San Antonio, Texas from the Leadership Conference.  Wow!  What a trip!  We left on Monday and had a couple days to sightsee before the conference started.  I didn't realize what an interesting and wonderful place it was to visit.  I would encourage everyone to go if you ever have a chance.  We had beautiful weather in San Antonio all week in the 70's, and in Ohio we had snow and ice.  It sure was hard coming back to the cold.

I wanted to share a few pictures that I took.

Mission San Jose

Mission Concepcion

Riverwalk  (I didn't take this one but it's a good shot of what it's like).  We ate at that restaurant with all the colorful umbrellas.

The Alamo

Tomorrow I'll show you some of the pictures of the cards that was on display at the conference.
