Leadership Day 1

Yesterday was Day 1 of our Leadership Conference in Orlando.  It was a good but long day.  Lots of information to absorb.  Many of you know that I'm a bit of a picky eater.  I was so excited at lunch.  We started with a salad AND IT WAS A "REAL SALAD" — check it out.
Thursday Lunch SaladI was in seventh heaven — "real" lettuce not weeds, nothing weird on it – just lettuce, tomato, bacon, radishes and carrots — yum.

After dinner was Manager's Reception.  Stampin' Up! everyone at the title of Manager and above to Disney's Hollywood Studios for a showing of Fantasmic — it was wonderful.

After the show was finished we got to roam the park – it was closed to the public — all Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  There were tables full of desserts, hot cocoa, coffee, tea, sodas and waters.  What a great treat.  

On our way out we were handed a gift box.  Once we got on the bus we opened it up to see this picture frame — a great memento of our trip.

Orlando Leadership

I'm in sunny Orlando, Florida.  The temps are a little cool but so much warmer than at home in Illinois.  Tina and I got to our hotel shortly before 4:00 Wednesday afternoon.  We settled into our room, had dinner and then we met up with 46 other demonstrators for a shoe box swap.  That's right — 48 demonstrators total, which means I had to prepare 49 cards — 33 cards completed and 16 card for other demonstrators to complete.  What a fun time we had.
Here's a couple pictures — the first is one is Tina hard at work on one of the swaps.

Sherrie's SwapI received some awesome swap cards tonight.  I can't wait to share some of them with you at classes in February.  I definitely saw some great Fast & Fabulous Class Cards.

Lotus Blossom Cabana

This Lotus Blossom stamp set is fabulous.  It is a three step stamp — which means there are three stamp pieces that make up the flower.  You stamp the first stamp which gives you just a tiny bit of outline.  You can use the same color ink for the second stamp, which fills in the flower shape more.  Last ink the third stamp but stamp off so the inside of the flower fills in with a lighter shade of color.  So beautiful but easy to do.
