Stamp With Peggy

Here's a little more about Day 1 of Stampin' Sisters Retreat.

We like to welcome our "Newbies" each year — newbies means this is the first year these ladies have attended our retreat.  We have 14 Newbies this year and I think they'll be back with us again next year.

They each received a cute little notebook filled with sticky notes, sticky flags and a pen all tied
up in cute packaging.

Next we honored the ladies that are part of our demo team, 17 fabulous team members joined up this year.

They are received the Celebrations Duo embossing folders.

We wanted to thank everyone who paid in full for Stampin' Sisters Retreat when they signed up.
They each received a package of Metallic Shapes.

Tomorrow I'll share more of the fun with you.

The fun has begun!!!

Here is Tina and I behind the piles of boxes just before we started.

And now the work begins.
The room started like this.

It took a few hours but this is what it looked like when we opened the doors
to welcome them in.


These each received a goodie bag filled with supplies.
We even designed and had t-shirts made for everyone that wanted one.

Here's all the supplies in the bag.

And in the center of each table we had boxes of Animal Crackers and a bucket of popcorn with strings of game tickets attached — so darn cute.

Our prize patrol is a chance to win a fish.

When they got the ping pong ball in a fish bowl they got to pick a gold fish.

These is a number on the back of each tag and they win the prize that coordinates with the number.  They really enjoyed this — no live fish to take home.

Come back tomorrow — I'll be sharing more of the fun.
