Hi Stampers,
Happy Sunday friends !
I am back from Salt Lake City and my time at the home office with Stampin'Up!
I have so many photos to share with you. You click HERE to view all of them I am still adding more . You can also click on any of the photos posted below to view larger .
Have you ever be a part of something that every single thing that happened just filled your soul with complete happiness . Oh my goodness the 2 days at the home office was the most wonderful time I have ever had with so many fabulous and amazing people on earth. I seriously can't put into words how I am feeling even after being home I get teary eyed looking at all these amazing photos and thinking of all the great times we jammed into 2 days .
Early morning Wednesday started out flying to SLC and of course just like in Stampin'Up! style they flew us out in 1st class~ WOW I personally had never flown 1st class before and Holy Moly it was so GREAT!
When we arrived to the airport we were greeted by Clayton waiting for us he was going to be our driver for the day ~AMAZING!
1st stop~ Hotel dropped luggage off and got ready to head over to the home office for the welcome party . We walked in 1st thing we see was a bottle of Pink Lemonade & a gift sitting there all pretty wrapped in purple . Opened it and guess what was inside ? Pickles !!
Oh my goodness we both laughed, Boy do they know me :).
Next stop was a quick lunch at the hotel and then the driver was picking us up in about 1 hour to sweep us off to the home office .
I remember saying to my hubby right before we pulled into the parking lot I was going to"try" and not cry ( famous last words ) as soon as we pulled up and Rich Jenkins came around the corner and they opened the doors to the home office the greeting was so overwhelming I starting crying Oh my goodness the clapping / cheering was so amazing.
1st stop was to hug on everyone and take a few more photos... But this time in the photo booth so much fun!
Then off to the distribution center this time Hubby had a chance to work the pick line and actually box a few orders . I got to take photos this time of him having fun . Since I was able to do this during my trip for Advisory Board last year I wanted him to experience it . It really is so amazing and the 1st thing he said was that the center was so clean that we could eat off the floor and it really is immaculate.
Then it was time to go see how they made a special stamp for me . Oh my this stamp is so Beautiful and when he gave it to me I cried . It seriously is the most beautiful stamp ever... The photo doesn't do it justice .
Then it was off to see the team that makes all our amazing stamp sets I got to sit down with Kathy ( on the right side of me ) and we got to design a stamp set . Will share more about all that later . Check out those YUMMY cookies Kathy made for me . OMG! so delicious~ Thank you Kathy!
Then it was off to see ALL kinds of brand new goodies . My lips are sealed !
Then it was off to see where the stampin' action takes place with all the fabulous stampers that create all the wonderful samples we get to see in the catalogs ! OMG so much fun seeing all their messy desks (So happy I am not alone in that area !)
Angie she is on the far right in Black in the photos. Angie gave me a beautiful bag of brand new goodies . OH how I wish I could show you what's in the bag but I can't~ sorry ~ I will say it's all AWESOME and you will get to see it in a couple months in the new occasions catalog .
Then it was off for the filming of the interview video with Dan . PLUS my hubby was interviewed too ( Love that!) stay tuned for that video after leadership in January .
Then it was off to dinner with the Corporate team at an awesome Brazilian Steak house~ OH my goodness it was so much fun and so yummy !
We scheduled a couple hours for dinner but I seriously think we need another 2 hours with all the fun and laughing we did . The dinner was amazing but what maded it PERFECT was the company and I sure love all these amazing people and the time flew by so quickly .
By the way there were table gifts for everyone I might add "Everyone" as you can see in the photo had a gift at their seat~ but everyone thought they would give all their table gifts to hubby & I .
Inside each beautiful box was yummy chocolate . We didn't keep them all, we gave some to our drivers for their families ( we had a total of (3) different drivers Clayton, Allen & Robert )
Then it was back to our Hotel and there was another pillow gift waiting . Can you guess what it is ?
It's this amazing Coach bag and look at the amazing color WOWZIE! LOVE IT!
Day 2 Oct 30th, 2014
Starts at 8:30am jammed packed with LOTS of video making with the OH so famous Dan the camera guy! The really sad thing was that my videos are the last videos Dan will be making for Stampin'Up! since his last day with Stampin'Up! was Friday Oct 31, 2014 . I will personally miss Dan a lot as well as so many others he has touched over the years with his amazing videos .
I got to film 1 video with Shelli and then 1 other video with so many people that will be my stampin' commerical LOL!
Here are some fun photos from a Jammed packed day with so many Fabulous people !
Took a break for lunch, plus got to be in the mix of the Company Halloween party where everyone dressed up and we all had so much fun!
After lunch it was back to making the fun videos . We ended up finishing up an hour early so we went back to our hotel to relax for a bit until dinner with Shelli .
Dinner once again should have been scheduled for at least 4 hours . we talked / laughed/ cried . I love Shelli & her family. Stampin'Up! as changed my life in so many ways. I am forever thankful .
I will NEVER ever forget this Million dollar trip. Thank you Stampin'Up! Thank you to all my amazing customers .
Have a wonderful Sunday friends!
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
