I'm playing catch up at my "day" job so I haven't had any time to play with my new stamping toys. I'm hoping to play a little tomorrow night.
I did take some pictures at the Stampin' Share event while on the
Hawaii Incentive Trip. I'll get those loaded so I can share some of those great
samples with you.
For now — check out the FABULOUS deals that Stampin' Up! is offering through
next Monday, May 25th. There are some great goodies to choose from.
Just click on the SHOP button and enter the item numbers.
The order will ship right to your home.
Place a $50 order and I'll mail you a brand new Annual Catalog FREE.

Home Again, Home Again — Jiggity Jig
Home again, home again, jiggity, jig — that's what my dad always said when we returned from a trip. I love to go on vacation — especially a FREE Incentive Trip but it is also great to be back home again.

Here's a picture of Tina and I on our final morning.
We had some Rumchata and Fire Ball left that Tina couldn't take home
so of course we had to finish it up — no sense in wasting it, right!!!
The suitcases are emptied — not everything is put away yet (went to work yesterday after a couple hours of sleep). I put all (or at least most) of the gifts and prizes that
I received on my bed to take one group picture.

I received:
a burlap beach bag
a burlap zip tote (our tickets and information came in this)
2 pairs of Maui Jim sunglesses
2 stamp sets
a Project Life by Stampin' Up! card kit
a Project Life by Stampin' Up! embellishment pack
a necklace
a cosmetic bag (Hawaiian quilted)
2 packages of DSP
a roll of Smoky Slate Chevron Ribbon
a package of new silver & gold doilies
a crumb cake sarong/scarf (that missed the picture)
I think that's everything
It was an amazing trip — thank you Stampin' Up!
and all of you for helping me to earn the trip.
USS Missouri Memorial
Our final event was a Farewell Dinner. Stampin' Up! bused all of the demonstrators and their guests to the USS Misouri Memorial where we were able to tour the USS Missouri battleship and a BBQ dinner was provided under a big tent. What a fabulous evening. I have learned (or maybe relearned) some of our country's history. Again I had a great time — our hosts were wonderful giving us talks about different areas of the ship.

This was the plaque greeting us as our bus pulled into the memorial area.

As we walked into the entrance we were greeted by this wonderful scene. It felt like we were walking back in time.

Here is just one picture of the battleship. I plan to print pictures as soon as I get home so I can put together a Project Life by Stampin' Up! memory album of this fabulous trip. Thank you all for your help in earning this trip. I so appreciate everything you do for me.
