Boy oh boy, did I have a blast at my First-ever SU! event. Needless to say they knocked the socks right off of me and it was an experience that I want to relive every year.
What a rush to be in a building with 6000+ people who are just as excited about stamping and Stampin' Up! as you are. Where you all dance, sing and get pumped at 7am. Where you all hoard down a hallway to all eat lunch at the same time. It was CHAOS in the good, great an amazing way.
I went out of my element and stayed with other demonstrators that I had never met before and it was fantastic. The were in a crazy number of swaps...something along the lines of 20 thousand, but the advantage was getting to see many ther ideas that I normally wouldn't have. Plus Joanne, Karen & Kris were wonderful people and it was nice to make new friends from NY.
It's just amazing to see how Stampin' Up! really cares and how amazingly humble Shelli the co-founder of the company is. I got a chance to meet her and she is one Fan-tabulous woman, I even get her to sign my catalogue (I know I'm a geek! but how cool was that?)
Hope to post more soon as lots has happened since I've been back, miss you all lots. Don't forget your daily good deed, even if it's to tell your loved ones you love them :) Have a great day!
