The best thing to happen on our second day of convention is I WON a door prize. I have been to four Stampin’ Up! Conventions and three regional seminars and I have never won a door prize before. So I was so excited to win something, even if it isn’t a stamp set high on my wish list it is a FREE stamp set.

It was so great to catch up with my good friend Jo Eades who signed up with Stampin’ Up! in the early days. We were so excited to catch up!

Oh, yes my partner in crime Gail Kirby, fellow craft show manager and my first room mate at the Sydney convention. I had dinner the Friday night with Gail and her team the Gail Force Stampers.  Now there is something in their name, they really are a force to be reckoned with and insisted on walking me to the door step after dinner.

Tiffany, Julia Quinn, Shellie the Guru and Me. I just have to comment on how wonderful Julia looked in her dress, she never usually wears dresses but given she won her first award at convention she really needed a good frock for the occasion and the cutest pair of shoes.

Above is Amanda from Demonstrator support. I haven’t seen Amanda since our first convention in Sydney. It was so good to catch up with her!!!

Below is Julia in her fab dress getting her 20K sales award. Julia was my very first demonstrator who joined my team and I am so proud of her achievements over the last three years!!!

Now talking about being proud, one of my other original team members Janine Rawlins also achieved some amazing things this  year!! A sales award, Leadership Award, The incentive trip and she was in a state of shock for being number 20  demonstrator of the year out of 1700 demonstrators in Australia! Great work Janine!!!

I also have to say congratulations to Jenny, Maureen, Juliana and Simone who also won sales awards and Simone also won a recruiting award. I am so proud of our little group. Here is my little group. I told Aaron I think there should be an award for the best dressed group as my group would win it for sure, you know like a fashion’s on the field award!

What a great week end and I am so lucky to have such great women in my Stampin’ Up! Team. We had such a fun time stamping and getting to know each other a little more!!!

Well I am really inspired to stamp stamp stamp oh and also have a couple of workshops if anyone wants one???

Cheers
