This year's Stampin' Up! National Convention was in Salt Lake City. I was fortunate enough to travel with 6 of my team members to attend this fabulous event. I know there are a lot of reasons to be a SU demonstrator, but I think being able to attend Convention is one of the best!
One of the highlights of Convention is making and trading swaps. We met up with some other demonstrators in the Atlanta airport and started swapping cards before we even arrived in Salt Lake!
Once we checked into the hotel, we went out for a bit of sightseeing around town. This is Temple Square.
I was so excited to have one of my downline, Debbie Rought, join us at her very first convention. Here we are in the Temple Square gardens. Check out the cute "Heartfelt Stampers" tee shirts! We had a different one for each day of the Convention!
Here's my daughter and upline, Aly Schilling, with her Service Accounts Manager (SAM) Terri being presented with the Founder's Circle award -- a darling pink leather purse with the SU logo. We found out later at the Awards Ceremony that Aly placed 51st in the top 100 demonstrators of the company!
Opening session is so exciting! Here are team members Jen Rios-Raner, Aly Schilling and Gloria Plunkett having fun with the music.
We couldn't resist this photo op while going to Awards Night.
Awards Night brought a huge surprise to Aly. She was chosen, along with 7 other women, by Shelli to serve on this year's Advisory Board, the most prestigious SU award given. She will be travelling to Salt Lake City numerous times this year to attend meetings where she will represent all of the demonstrators in decision making. This is a once in a lifetime award, and Aly received this at an incredibly young age. Her hard work and dedication to the company has been recognized. Aly says now she has to get busy finding another goal to meet! Oh, and you can't tell, can you, that I'm her very proud mom!
Another fun highlight of Convention is the Prize Patrol. Several times throughout General Session, Stampin' Up! gives away tons of product. Here are two of our lucky team members winning a brand new Simply Scrappin' kit, along with some other goodies. Four out of seven of us won something--pretty good odds!
If you'd like to be in on the fun next year, contact me to join our team! We have so much fun sharing what we love.
