Good morning!
We had a great trip to Long Beach, CA! But I always take longer than I hope to get back into my routine!
The weather was amazing and so was the event. The plan was to hang out with a couple of my demonstrator friends, Carrie Hacker & Sharon Tisdale. And while we were busy during the day with OnStage, Todd was going to go touristing with Carrie’s daughter Amber.
One of the biggest highlights of my trip was getting to meet my team member Jennifer Carmean for the first time. Some of you may know her from my Lives! She drove up with her mom to join us for lunch! It was wonderful to finally meet in person!
So I have a couple sneak peeks at stamp sets everyone received–and if you didn’t remember, I LOVE words sets!:
Speaking of sneak peeks, we finally received our new catalogs Saturday morning. They wanted us to see product in use before we saw the whole catalog. I can only show you the front of it right now until it launches publicly for customers.
One of the things we could do during OnStage was play with some new product. And we got to see the new In Colors–Barely Blush, (returning In Color) Crisp Cantalope, Golden Glow, Hydrangea Hue, Peaceful Pine.
Here’s the cool bag we all got. It’s Hydrangea Hue:
Sharon & I were treated to a special breakfast for a certain title and above. It was delicious!
We received an extra gift, too, that matched our new bag:
Another highlight for me was seeing Shannon West! I didn’t think I would!! She recently left Stampin’ Up! but is still a demonstrator. I’m so glad she still came!! Oh, Todd even got to meet her, because she came outside right before Todd & Amber got there to pick us up. Yay! We didn’t think to get a pic with the 3 of us though.
We celebrated Sharon walking for hitting her $500,000 in career sales! (Disclaimer: I’m required to say this is not typical of all Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators and takes hard work to hit this milestone.)
And I walked for earning the incentive trip! (Disclaimer: I’m required to say this is not typical of all Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Less than 1% of all demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year.)
We had such a fun time together! Our plans are walking the stage together in 2028 for hitting our 25 year anniversary next year. We’re all within 6 months of each other. Woohoo!!!
Besides our group pic at lunch with Jennifer, this is the FIRST pic we took together on the trip! We were waiting to leave in LAX. Todd had fun and had a good tour guide. He said Amber was like his little sister, like if he was hanging out with my sister Danielle. We had a few delays on the way home, but we only got home maybe an hour later than expected. Much better than some, dealing with snow in their areas. Thank you, Lord!
OnStage was great! But we’re happy to be home with things familiar. Home sweet home!
I’ll see you later this morning for my YouTube Live! https://youtube.com/@StephanieFlath
Have a fabulous day!
