UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

Monster Munchies Petite Purse Halloween Treat

I saw this idea at the convention had so much fun making it yesterday!

There is a complete tutorial for this after the pictures that you can download.

The stamp image has "screws" coming out of the monster's head.

So you can add some black brads if you want the "screws".

Here's what the back looks like

Convention Pics

Hi everyone!  I know that you think that I have dropped off the face of the earth!

Just catching up!  And that is quite a job after convention.  I'm not even close.

I've been stamping all day to get ready for Stamp-a-Stack next Monday.

The company invites the top 100 demonstrators out of the company to be in the Founder's Circle and to  join them for a very special trip to UT!

They use personal sales, promotions, # of $350 workshops etc to determining this group.

Patty Bennett, Lee Conrey, and I from the UdderlyAwesome group earned this honor for the 2011-2012 year.

Patty and I.

The beautiful wrist corsages were given to those who earned the Achiever's Bonus, again a combination of personal sales and group promotions.

Here is Lee

Friday night about 60 of us from my UdderlyAwesome group got together.  We had six ladies demo different products and ideas.

Donna Bagwell

Nancy Baladad

Duana Foster and her sister Mercedes Person

Wednesday was check in day!

I had a special meeting from 9:00-2:00 with some leaders from the company.  At the end of the meeting, Shelli, the CEO, gave each of us a surprise bag.  Wow!

Of course, you see the amazing tag on the bag!  One of the little gifts in the bag was the most delicious granola that I have ever eaten that was made by her husband, Sterling.  I'm getting the recipe for that!

Let's see.  What else is in there?

• A CD of Favorite Hymns..Shelli said that she is over loud muisc!
• Vanillamint Lip Shine (great flavor for kissing, she says)
• an Original Scent candle, a little like vanilla
• Wild Orange Essential Oil.  I think it helps you relax and unwind!
• Two home made chocolates
• Some Koto body lotion
• A coupon for a free treat from Dear Lizzie's Bistro
• A tea bag of Choice, Organic Liquorice Peppermint tea...Shelli says that this is her very favorite tea!

Dear Lizzie's, here we come!

Here is the beautiful bag that each one of us received at check in.

Inside was a Catalog and Holiday Catalog, three stamp sets and some other odds n ends:)

Love it!

Now for a good night's sleep!

The convention starts in earnest today!  Classes and big general meetings and a big Awards Night in the evening!

Stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Birthday to Shelley!

Happy Birthday, to Shelley Tam, who is former demonstrator and now apart of my Tuesday night Stamp Club!

I know you have several special things planned, so have fun!!!

We know that you will stretch out your celebration as looooooooong as possible!

Thank you for stopping by!

 

Come with me on a visit to Margeret's home up in the mountains!

Last night, my upline, Margaret Goodfellow, invited some of us for dinner and to stamp.  Three years ago, she and her husband built a gorgeous mountain home in the Mountain Green community and moved up from LaVerne CA.

The view of the valley and mountains from their home is so beautiful!

The view is breathtaking!

I rented a 12 passenger van (I've never driven anything that big before)!  We got directions from Margaret and then used the navigator on the phone and were off on the 40 minute drive up into the mountains.

Left to right:  Marie, Wanda, Gayle, Sandy, Anne, Duana, Mercedes, Margaret

Here is another view from the back with my roommate, Anne.

Once we got inside, I totally forgot to take more pictures.  She prepared a fabulous dinner for all of us.  There were about 25 people altogether and then we got to make 5 projects! 

Of course, the trip wouldn't be complete without getting lost at least a little...on the way home!!!

Thank you for a wonderful evening, Margaret!

Thank you for stopping by!
