This is a fantastic deal.  Paper Pumpkin is designed for those crafters who don't have a lot of stamping supplies, so please keep that in mind.  The welcome kit is the first one you'll receive and it includes all the items needed to complete the enclosed project except adhesive.  This will give the recipient a clear block and a start on some stamps and ink.  I've ordered some kits for the girls, so they make a great gift item!  Imagine getting a craft kit in the mail each month from your Mother or Grandmother - what else could be better?!!

Here is the on stage walk for earning the Weekend Getaway to San Diego!

Laura managed to get a quick photo before I ran off the stage. 

We received lots of free stamp sets (photos to follow) and this is a door prize for having the Pumpkin Pie wrist band.  

Mary won the new ornament stamp set and punch from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  

Laura also won a door prize.  We were so excited until we realized that everyone won a door prize - lol!  The last very lucky 25 people won every stamp set in the Holiday Mini catalog!  That was not us (sad face).  

One of the best things about Convention is the swaps and display boards.  Here are a few photos of the boards:

I even saw a few of my own designs displayed (bowling ball and shoe).

Wow everyone!  It's been waaaaay too long since I posted.  With end of the year graduation and Girl Scout activities, I got a little overwhelmed, so I apologize for the lapse.  I just came back from our annual Stampin'Up! Convention - woohoo!  It's always great to go and get pumped up for another year. Two of my downline and good friends went with me - Mary Harvey and Laura Diamond.  Mary walked across the stage for her 5th Anniversary as a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator.  Over the next week, I'll post some photos of our trip.  I have company coming in tomorrow along with our annual Christmas in July stamp camp on Saturday, so lot's going on!!!

First of all, some GREAT NEWS!!!  I earned the Stampin'Up! weekend getaway to San Diego - woohoo!!!!  John and I will be flying out on September 12th and returning the 15th.  I can't wait!!!  How exciting to meet and mingle with other Demonstrators, and we'll get a chance to visit with John's brother Chris while we're there.  I just want to thank all of my wonderful customers and downline Demonstrators for helping me achieve this for the first time!  I'm super excited and my goal next year is to earn the Grand Vacation to Hawaii!!!  So - keep an eye out for some great new specials and lots of fun stamping events.

Here are a few photos from the 25th Anniversary Convention in Salt Lake City.

Here we are with our fantastic Convention backpacks - these are the best bags ever!

This is a wonderful group of Demonstrators from around the country that I swapped projects with every other month.  

The Convention was sold out with 5800 Demonstrators attending.  What a blast, but way too many lines!

Here's Mary walking for her 5th Anniversary as a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator.  

Here's a bracelet I made for the Demonstrator group above.  We had one last swap at the event.  I used the new Modern Medley Designer Series Paper, punched it with a 1/2" Circle punch, put it in the bezels, then covered with Crystal Effects.  I added an Antique Brad in the center.  These turned out super cute.  

Here's a closer look.  I love this Designer Paper!!  I tied the bracelet to a strip of Basic Black card stock, then put it in a 1" x 8" cello bag for packaging.
