Stamp Time Somewhere

Help Me Reach My Goal

I set a goal for myself at Convention this year to add one new team member to the Stamp Time Somewhere Stampers by the end of July. That means I only have until SUNDAY! Shelli posted this GREAT video about the great Starter Kit special they are offering this month for only $99. There is no better time to join Stampin' Up!

 

If you do not already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I would love to have you on my team. Even if you are only looking to purchase your own supplies at a discount. If you are interested in building a business, I can help you with that as well.

The opportunity to get $225 of high quality supplies for just $99 is just too good to pass up. If you would like to order this awesome deal, just take a moment and go to my WEBSITE and click on JOIN NOW. When you get to the part where you need my password, just use stamptimesomewhere (all one word). I look forward to having you on my team.

Thanks for stopping by!

Queen for a Day - Stampin' Up! style

Thought I do something a little different today. Since coming back from convention I have been dealing with 2 different sides of me.

The one side is the Mommy who is dealing with some very trying times with her three boys. They seem to be in quite the "stage" right now and it's been very difficult. My husband said that while I was in Salt Lake they were great for him. That has been far from the case since though since my return. I can't believe I am so ready for school to start. I love my boys and usually enjoy spending every moment I can with them but AURGHHH.

The other side has been the side that is enjoying the post-convention "high". The after effects of meeting new friends. Some exciting prospects and opportunities that make me feel very special. Hint Hint - Look for some fun announcements soon - a wonderful new weekly post and another surprise.

So I thought it fitting today to share this neat project from the talented designers at Stampin' Up! If you would like to purchase the products that you need, you can do so at any time through my website HERE

Thanks for stopping by!

My absolute favorite photos from Stampin' Up! Convention 2011 - and a very important accomplishment

These by far ar my favorite photos from Convention. WHY? Because we can find card, scrapbook and project ideas and inspiration almost everywhere these days, but the one thing that is harder to come by is friends. That is unless you happen to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I have made some of the most wonderful friends through both meeting them on-line and at Convention and other Stampin' Up! events. These are women who - even though I only get to hug usually once a year, I have a wonderful bond with. I look forward to seeing these beautiful women smiling at me when I pass them between classes, before general sessions, and at lunch.

This year was also extra special for me. WHY? Because this year I was able to walk accross the stage for the very first time. Now, to some that might not be considered a big accomplishment, but for me it was. You see, I have been with Stampin' Up! almost 6 years now (so I walked for my 5 year accomplishment), but I have been in direct sales (formerly with Home Interiors and Gifts) since 1998 - when I was 10 - HAHA, and I had yet to earn an opportunity to walk accross the stage. I have wanted that recognition for 13 YEARS! Finally, thanks to Stampin' Up! I was able to take my 15 seconds of fame and walk accross that stage, to get that taste of what it feels like to be recognized for greater accomplishments.

Please enjoy today's pictures, they are very special to me.

Not the WHAT, but the WHY

So during Convention we were challenged to think about our "WHY" - to look past the "WHAT" of what we do. I wish I could truly share the emotion behind all of my "WHYS", hopefully you can watch this great little video of our Convention Highlights and enjoy some of the feelings I got to experience last week.

 

I would love to have you join my team, and with our $99 starter kit special, there really isn't a much better time than now. Not to mention that if you sign up before the end of the month you get that ADORABLE Christmas Box kit!!! It is so gorgeous.

If you've ever wanted a little more recognition for what you do, if you need a little extra money, if you've ever wanted to learn how to be more creative, or to share your creativity with others - heck, if you've ever wanted a NEVER ENDING discount on your crafting supplies, than I truly believe that Stampin' Up! could be the right opportunity for you. Please take a moment to check out my website, most questions you might have can be answered there. If you are ready to sign up, you will need my "recruiter password" which is simply - "stamptimesomewhere"

Stampin' Up! Convention 2011 and a thought to share

Well, I just got back from Salt Lake City and Stampin' Up!s annual Demonstrator Convention! I am exhausted in the best way possible. I spent the last 4 days with 3,000 of my closest friends (LOL) truly enjoying every minute of stamping, sharing and swapping! Hopefully, you have enjoyed the few posts I was able to get out from my phone while I was there, and please know - I have LOTS more to share.

I had a thought though, as much as I loved having two good friends from my team with me, I though about how much more I would enjoy it if I could share the opportunity and have even more friends and team members with me.
