And… we’re off!

I "think" we're ready! At least I hope I remembered everything. At the crack of dawn tomorrow, we'll be off to Milwaukee to fly to Orlando. We should be there by noon, and I'm not sure who is more excited about that–the kids, or me! They're excited (especially to fly for the first time) but I'm even more excited because I know what they're in for.

I'll probably sound like a broken record this week, but I want to express my gratitude to my fantastic customer friends who made this trip possible for my and my family. I literally could not have done it without you–every order, every hostess, every scrapbooker, every word-of-mouth reccomendation–it all counted towards my business last year.

As for my gratitude towards Stampin' Up? I actually teared up a couple days ago. My kids were watching the Disney World planning DVD (AH-GAIN!) and I was just suddenly overcome with thankfulness for the blessings from being a demonstrator that have just showered down on my family. My cup is full and overflowing!

My seventh year anniversary with Stampin' Up was yesterday. I would not trade it for anything. I thought about scaling back after this year, but I just cannot imagine life without Stampin' Up. I could go on and on–but I have to get up stinkin' early tomorrow! So you guys just check in regularly this week, as I will be blogging and IF WE ARE ALLOWED I might even have a few sneaky peeks of new things to show you! The new catalog is RIGHT around the corner, and I would just die to see it early!!!

I also just figured out Instagram, so there should be lots of cute impromptu photos on Facebook. Post there if you have a question, and my assistant Penni will help you out. Ok, I'm really leaving now!! Goodbye!
