Celebrate ‘08 Stampin’ Up! Convention

Celebrate ‘08 convention is fast approaching and I am getting really excited, well starting to panic a bit actually.

Convention runs from  July 30th to Aug 2 and I am busy working away on my swaps.  I have completed half the thousands of swaps I need, which  I can’t wait to share with you but you will have to wait as they are “secret” until convention.

I am also planning to post daily during the convention, so you can enjoy all the excitement too.

It’s official I have earned Hawaii!!

Wow! my first year with Stampin’ Up! and I have earned the incentive trip to Hawaii. It was official this morning. I am so excited I have never had a free holiday before.

I want to thank all my customers and my amazing downline for helping me acheive this goal.
