Leadership Conference 2014

Well I am back from Stampin Up's Leadership Conference in Houston Texas and what a great time we had! We started off the event with a General Session on Thursday morning and then attended Share Fair classes on Thursday afternoon for demonstrators by demonstrators. I came away with lots of new ideas. For all the Demonstrators who have the title of Manager or above Stampin Up puts on an event just for them! I was able to attend and we went to the Houston Aquarium. My roommates Jan and Loni (whom I met two years ago in San Antonio, Loni is from Utah, Jan from Kentucky) went with me! 
 The meal that they put on for us was amazing, we were able to eat outside on the upper deck.
There was lots to see and do at the Aquarium, rides, great food, photo ops,  huge aquariums with fish and other sea life, as well as white tigers! Spectacular!



On Friday we again attended classes and learned about some new products coming out this spring. Watch for those announcements here on this blog and at my upcoming Open House Workshops. On Friday night we had a huge stamp event with 1000 women seated at round tables stamping our Make and Takes. All of us got an orange bag with Two Stamps Sets and our Make and Take projects. We spent the evening stamping, watching live presentations, and eating popcorn. Fun fun! 
Loni (on the right) had gotten three matching scarves and we wore them each day in various styles with our various outfits and boy did we ever get a lot of comments on them. We received a t-shirt and stamp set from our evening at the Aquarium so one day we had to model them as well. Doesn't it look like we are having fun? The hardest part was finding someone who could take our picture.
On Saturday the final day we again headed over to the Houston Convention Centre and participated in more classes and live presentations. I am telling you Stampin up sure knows how to make the presentations fun! We had a "Game Show" presentation on Saturday that had us all in stitches.
Jan (on the right whom many of you met here in the studio in the fall of 2012) took along fabric flowers and we wore them on our scarves on the final day. When the last session ended we had a bit of free time and so we explored downtown Houston, it was a very nice day at 73F and look at what they do in Houston for fun......

........in the park where we walked they were skating on one side and directly across from that there was a water fountain area where kids were running through the sprinklers. 

If you would like to join in on all the fun consider joining my team, contact me for more details.
