WOW is all I can say!  I just got back from the annual Stampin’ UP Leadership conference in Palm Springs, California and it was a blast!!! Here’s a sunrise picture from the airport with the palm trees, and a snow capped mountain (just gorgeous!). I learned so much, got to hang out with other top demonstrators, ate lot of yummy food  and brought back some great new samples and of course stamp sets!  Here’s a picture of all the stuff I got!   Included in this picture is a beautiful bag and matching cosmetic case that matches our designer Ginger blossom paper! Also all my new samples (which will be on display in my classes). There  is some ribbon, a stamp set called "Big on Spring" (this is a sneak peak!) and glitter that I won.  I must have had a horseshoe around my neck!  There is a copy of the Occasions Mini Catalogue (which will start March 1st)! Make sure you are my mailing list to get your copy. And if all that wasn’t enough luck, I also won one of the grand prizes (only 20 people out of 800 people got them)…a pass to the Stampin’ Up annual convention in July 2008!!!!!  I felt like I was on cloud nine!  I’ll post more pictures in the weeks to come and pass along all my new tricks at my next events.
