So I don't usually talk numbers….
I don't wanna brag–or sound like I'm trying to.
(Seriously. SO many more demonstrators with bigger numbers.)
I don't wanna make anyone feel uncomfortable.
I just do my thing.
And I love what I do!!
With you. AND WITH YOUR HELP.
But I'm gonna talk numbers today, because I have LOVED how supportive everyone has been of my goal of earning this trip from Stampin' Up!–both in purchases and even just ASKING how it's going! You're all amazing!!
So I need 160,000 points to earn the trip.
I'm about 98% of the way there!!
(And my deadline is September 30–so plenty of time!)
There are several ways to earn points, but we'll just talk about sales (purchases) today.
I ONLY need the equivalent of about $600 in sales to earn the trip!!
AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
So far, Todd hasn't asked.
So as far as I know, it's still a surprise!
I'M SO EXCITED!!!!
And I will let you know when it happens–but NOT before I tell Todd, unless you happen to be WITH me WHEN it happens.
Cuz then I just wouldn't be able to contain myself!!
It makes me excited and emotional all at the same time!
Still haven't decided exactly how I'm gonna tell him….
Looked up Baked Alaska…looks cool–and I considered it–but we're trying not to eat processed sugar.
Still. It looks cool. I haven't completely ruled it out. ๐
Zucchini boats aren't happening. ๐
But MAYBE sockeye salmon.
I kinda liked the toy boats/ports idea. (Maybe I'll have to go shopping this weekend.)
Oh, I liked the igloo/Eskimo card idea, too.
I already have some Alaska (and Seattle–where we'd start) travel guides that I've been having sent to my sister a few doors down. I'm for sure gonna wrap these up as a gift. If you weren't ever around when I've talked about this, any trip we've gone on (we don't actually travel much at all), Todd has looked up the area Chamber of Commerce and requested a travel guide. ๐ ๐ ๐ He's gonna love this!
….I'll have to TRY to remember to take pics of whatever I do! (I'm kinda horrible at remembering that.)
Anyway, thank you again for your interest, for caring, for encouraging, for supporting me–and my family.
And thank you for helping me work towards this goal.
I appreciate you. SO MUCH.
(I'll update you again soon!)

Thanks Marcia! Yes! It could happen AT your club! I have one the Saturday before you as well! ๐ Yah I'm trying to figure out if I can take a pic or video without being too obvious. I'll see what I can do! Thanks for your support!

Teresa Rizo says
I am sooo excited for you!! I would LOVE to be there when you tell Todd. Maybe someone(Tyler) could video the whole thing so you could send it to me? Either way, I hope I get a text and not have to wait for the post. ๐ I'll be on pins and needles waiting!! I'm so happy for you! You deserve it!!
Steph / Dazzled By Stamping says
You got it sweet sister!!!! I'll see what I can do on the video! You'll for sure get a text! Thanks! Love you!!
