News From the Stampin' Convention

Sorry to have been absent so long. It has been a very eventful summer healthwise in the lives of the Wilson's. The good news is that everything is OK now and we are all ready to get back to doing what we enjoy doing........which for me is stamping and sharing ideas. I was very fortunate to be able to attend the Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah the first part of August. Convention was a blast and I can;t wait to share with you all of the wonderful things this next year holds!  It was very exciting to be with 6,000 other demonstrators as we got our first look at the 2008 Fall/Winter Idea Book and Catalog. We had classes and make and takes that are awesome and will be featured in the next few months.  I swapped cards and got lots of great new ideas.   I got a renewed sense of purpose as far as my stamping goes.  One of my goal is to do more workshops, offer more classes, and also try to get a couple of Stamping and Scrapbooking clubs going.  I am also going to try and be more regular with my posting to my blog and sharing ideas with all of you.

I want to say that when you get anything delivered by UPS, please let them know how much you appreciate these guys!!  UPS bought all the demonstrators at Convention the Ronald McDonald House stamp set!!!  Remember that $2 is donated to the Ronald McDonald House for each set sold.  There were 6000 of us at Convention so that is a $12,000 donation to the Ronald McDonald Houses.

I have a few classes that I am working on putting together so check back in the next few days to see what I will  be offering.  I will also post pictures of some of the swaps I either made or received.
