April Stamping Retreat

The first retreat for this year is coming up in April.

It will still be held at the NRAWC but this time we are going to try a cabin. There is less space but the amenities are far superior including the fact the cabin is on a flat surface. We won’t have to worry about carrying our prized possessions up stairs.

Cant wait to see everyone.

Onstage Fort Worth 2018

I finally had the opportunity to attend my first Onstage!

The experience is one I will never forget and I can see how addicting attending is going to be. As Saturday morning came and it was time the leave to get to registration, I admit I was pretty nervous. I was going in alone into a sea of 600 demonstrators. As soon as I got off the escalator, I saw my team mates waving at me to join them. HUGE relief as I was no longer alone.

When we checked in, we got a beautiful bag with goodies inside and a box that contained a light box. Once the new catalog was passed out amid cheers of excitement , you could have heard a pin drop in the room since it became so silent. As the day went on we got more goodies to place in our bag. We got to work with new stamp sets by doing 4 make and takes. Swapping cards with other demonstrators was super fun and I came home with so many beautiful cards for inspiration.

By the end of the day, my little goody bag was quite full. I met amazing new people and came home with a friendships I never would have had. Stampin' Up! sure knows how to throw a party and treat their demos well. I can't wait to attend the next one!

If you get a chance to go, Don't pass it up!
