I am always so excited when my fifth-level upline with Stampin' Up, Kristen Bryant, comes over from Minnesota to hold a regional meeting for her group. These meetings are not only jam-packed with fantastic ideas and great stamping, I also get to see some dear friends that I have made over the years doing this fabulously fun job.
Jessica Taylor is my fourth level, on the left, and next to her is Kristen. I'm in the middle in the blue shirt and Patti, my first level upline, is in front of us. Behind her is Kim Vale, my blogging buddy from Stoughton, and Shari, one of Kristen's Minnesota demos who drove down with her to keep her company. There were about twenty or more of us altogether. I taught a little segment on using games at your meetings to keep your retention rates up and keep people involved. We had so much fun.
It is also Kristen's birthday here shortly. Happy Birthday to a GREAT upline and a wonderful friend. I appreciate the great prize I won as well–can't wait to put it together–a square shadowbox frame from IKEA and the "Jingle All The Way" Decor Elements!
We made some amazing projects and we saw some amazing projects… just loved these two ideas with the Big Shot. Stay tuned for a post with the 20 swap cards, coming up! It was so hard to chose the winner.
Look at this amazing Christmas tree! It is made from a single poinsettia stamp, positioned with the Stamp A Ma Jig. So clever! Big thanks to everyone who shared. I have enough ideas to last me well into next year, just from this one meeting!
I like the picture of all of us! I had a super time. I just love being with you guys!
Do you do all of your own design for your blog? I need to figure out how to make the top of mine more personalized.
