I’m back!…..from Leadership 2015!
Hello, Sweet Stampers!
I’m back from Leadership 2015 which was held in Orlando, FL. This was my first ever Leadership and I had a blast. Well, mostly. The second day I woke up feeling like I was coming down with some sort of plague, so I decided to stay in the hotel room, take vitamins and supplements and meds, get lots of rest, and try to nip it in the bud. Evidently I was successful, because I was up and at ’em the next day.
I got to meet lots of new people. And I loved getting to see a lot of my Stampin’ Up! family I hadn’t seen since Convention back in July.
Since I can’t get into my stamping studio right now to create a new project (some work being done in our the house has it blocked by furniture) I thought I’d share some of the photos I took at Leadership. These are right off my phone and haven’t been tweaked or anything, so please forgive my less than stellar photography.
I got lots of selfies…
…with Nicole Watt…
…with Lisa Pretto and Mary Fish…
…with Deb Simonis…
…with my roomie Karen Browning…
…with Pootles herself, Sam Donald…
…with Justin Krieger, Maggie Mata, & Nicole Watt…
…with Windy Ellard…
…with Jennifer Buchanan…
…with Michelle Gleeson…
…with Hilary Sosebee…
…with Julie diMatteo…
…with Debbie Dean…
…with Bonnie Thurber…
…with Lynn Kolcun and Christine Oehlman…
…with Ginger Toivonen…
…with Spencer Willis…
…with SU President & COO Rich Jutkins and InkBig Academy’s Lisa Pretto…
…with Krista Frattin…
…with Pam Morgan…
…being silly with Debbie Dean and Patti Carbonell.
This is a series of selfies with Brian King: one at his 6 ‘5″ level, one at my 5’ 2″ level, and one with him stooped over so both our faces could be in the same frame.
This is how I spent the second day of Leadership.
Thrilled to be back up and at ’em!
Lunch with Windy, Cheryl Ann, Paula, Debbie, Kindra, Jennifer, Christine, Lynn, & Patti.
The “Prius Party” – answers the age old question, “How many demos will fit into a Prius?”
Three sisters – Katy McGloin, Denise Basile, and Debbie Mageed – all Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators!
Signing the Paper Pumpkin wall. (What is going on with my hair in the back?)
Shopping with Hilary Sosebee
I always look forward to seeing what new hair ditty Jennifer is wearing.
Teri Seippel and Hilary Sosebee, with Deb Simonis and Michelle Gleeson in the back.
I love this series of Shelli Gardner getting tickled during her stamping presentation.
She tried to get serious but of course we were all laughing. Knowing there was only so much time left before the break, she said,
“Okay now, you are wasting my time.”
But then she started laughing again. It was too funny!
And just look at all the goodies I got! Four stamp sets, 2 DSPs, Project Life cards and accessories, Paper Pumpkin, Hooray It’s Your Day Card Kit, lots of card swaps, journal, washi tape, and a really nice tote bag.
I learned a lot at Leadership, both from the classes & presentations and from speaking with other demonstrators. One thing I learned is not to try to do too much all at once. At the beginning of 2015, I set myself a goal of posting every day to this blog. I have not been successful. Life just keeps getting in the way. So for now, I’m adjusting that goal. I will still try to post every day, but will commit to posting at least once a week.
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
