Inkredible Stamping

I’ve just finished up Stampin’ Up!’s annual Leadership Training. The location for leadership changes and this year it was in fabulous Palm Springs, CA. I’m staying a few extra days in CA to visit with my brother and see some of the great sights!! I’ll be back home in time to get ready for Stamp Club, and I’ll have lots of fun new ideas and swaps to share with you all! Come join us at the St. Louis County Library: Tesson Ferry Branch on Saturday, January 26 – e-mail me if you need more information.

Until then here’s a little sneak peek at the fun I’ve been having!!

The hotel was just BEAUTIFUL!!! Here’s a look off the balcony of my Hotel Room. (How can you not LOVE a company that let’s you train in places this beautiful)

The first day started off with swapping and of course a trip to Momento Mall. They had tons of fun "Stampin’ Up!" items to choose from, You’ll see some of them at club. 🙂 Then it was off to pick up our Event Bags. This year’s bag is just adorable. It was created to look like the Ginger Blossoms Designer Series Paper – The outside striped and the inside a flower print! Everyone looked so cute running around with their Purely Pomegranate bags! The bags were filled with goodies, including out New Stamp Set! 🙂 A break for lunch and then it was off to stamp the Make ‘n Takes!

Day two was the start of the real excitement! It started off as normal with Shelli opening General Session with a warm welcome.

I had a day filled with classes and then in the evening I got to attend my first Manager’s Reception. Manager’s Reception is a Special Dinner that is held at Leadership for anyone who’s reached the title of Manager or above. I just missed qualifying for it last year so I was VERY excited to get to attend this year!! Each year they come up with something fun and different for the dinner. This year they whisked us away to the Empire Polo Club were we got to watch an exhibition Polo Match, complete with Pretty Woman Style Divit Stomping, Hour’derves, and drinks! We got to meet the Polo Players and then were treated to an elegant dinner where we also got another gift stamp set.

See, that’s me meeting a horse and Polo Player.

and this is the Beautiful Table Setting, complete with our gifts – a stamp set inside a Movie Film Tin to go along with the Hollywood theme of Leadership. Wow was I tired by the end of this evening! 🙂

The third and final day was another day of classes and then Closing Ceremony. And of course an invitation for us to join them at the next Stampin’ Up! event – Convention in July where they’ll be celebrating SU’s 20 year anniversary! If you want to know how you can join in the fun of Stampin’ Up! events contact me and I’ll tell you all about it!

Happy Stampin’
