Hello!!
If you happened to be unaware, Todd & I were on an Alaskan Cruise last week–an incentive trip from Stampin’ Up! I have so many pics to share with you, but I have to edit!
Disclaimer: Before I go on, I have to say THANK YOU for helping us earn this trip. Stampin’ Up! provides this opportunity to ALL demonstrators, but it takes hard work and the support of customers and/or team members to make it happen. And less than 1% of all demonstrators earn the trip each year. We SO appreciate your support!! You have been a wonderful blessing to us!
So one of the most amazing parts of these trips–particularly to Alaska–is the scenery…seeing God’s most beautiful parts of creation all around us! The mountains are magnificent–and everywhere! Some areas I’m not going to try to identify, cuz I just don’t know and Todd’s not sitting here while I type.


For some reason, I always thought it was cool to see other ships passing us or in our area.


I FEEL like this may have been sunrise the first morning on the ship. Todd is ALL about pics–specifically sunrise pics. And he had to be up early to get the sunrise the closer we got to Alaska!

So now that I’ve shown you at least SOME of the scenery, I want to show you some of the ship/our first day. The ship is GINORMOUS!!! This pic wasn’t the first day, but it showed how large it is–compared to people. The ship had 16 decks. SO.MUCH.WALKING.

There are lots of different things on ships that are crazy. This was the first I’d heard of bumper cars! 🙂

We spent the first afternoon exploring some and relaxing some. Stampin’ Up! gave us these water bottles and with a scavenger hunt for the stickers.



I honestly have no idea which day these were, but I decided to look out our balcony before I went to sleep around 10pm and saw this. It’s just amazing to be surrounded all of this. I was sitting on my bed for this one.

I got a sunset pic before bed one night. Todd was sleeping already.

So before I close for today, I’ll share that we find out the NEXT trip/2028 that we can earn (starting 10/1/26. We are currently working on earning the 2027 trip to an all-inclusive resort in Costa Rica.) We usually get to see a video after they reveal the surprise, but the equipment wasn’t working. So here’s the 2028 trip, plus the ports listed in the hospitality room.


So exciting right???
Thank you again for your support and encouragement! I’ll be back soon with more about our trip.
Have an awesome weekend!!
