Stamp With Peggy

What a beautiful day we had yesterday.
The weather was fabulous and the company was exceptional.
I FINALLY got to go to Stampin' Up!'s manufacturing facility in Kanab, UT.
This has been a dream come true trip.
This is the rock at the entrance to the manufacturing plant.

This is how we were greeted as we got off the bus and walked inside.
We got a tour of the facility. 
That's right I got to see how those stamps are made.

This wonderful lady showed us the process.
The take sheets of rubber and lay on a die.  Then it gets rolled into this hot oven,
which melts the rubber in the stamp die.  When it came out of the oven I got to peel the rubber from the die and trim the excess rubber off with a big paper cutter — so fun.

After a nice lunch of hamburger and hot dogs that the employees grilled for us we went to the "park that Stampin' Up! built".  Well, maybe they didn't build the park but they do supply cut up stamp rubber in place of mulch at the park in Kanab.  Apparently it is tradition for Founders Circle Achievers to take a picture of their feet in the rubber.  So, here's my picture.

It's also tradition to take your picture laying in the rubber.
It was so much fun!!!

Then at night we went to Tuacahn.
It is an outside performing art center.

We saw Disney's When You Wish.
It was amazing.

This was the best day ever!!!

Oh my goodness — what an awesome day!
I left home at 5:00 a.m. yesterday to drive to Chicago for a flight to St. George, UT for Stampin' Up!ls annual Founders Circle Trip. 
I am so grateful for this experience.  It's only been half a day but so far it is awesome.

Here's the sign that greeted us as the bus approached the Marriott Courtyard.

I have a whole hotel room to myself and it even has my name on the door.

Check it out — this is Sarah Douglass — she's the interim CEO (she's the CEO while Shelli and Sterling Gardner are on a mission for their church).

Apparently I'm struggling with my blog posts while I'm gone — internet connection is not the fastest.  I thought this post would post and email out yesterday but I guess I was sleepy when I finished it and listed the wrong day.

Yesterday I went to Zion National Park with 13 other lovely ladies.

It was an absolutely beautiful ride there but the park was gorgeous.
I am SO happy that my husband "made" me do this trip.

We took a couple of very small walks to see the view a little better.
The rock formations were awesome.

I can't thank you enough for your love and support.
