Did you miss me whilst I’ve been stamping and playing in Paris ?

There is so much to tell, so I’ll break it down over a couple of days.  We travelled on Thursday leaving Southampton very early, a quick flight, coach ride check into the Sequoia Hotel and Elizabeth, Elaine, Nikki, Rhoda and I where in Disneyland Studios park.  Maximum rides and giggles, we watched shows, animations and even looped the loop !

Thursday evening we stayed in the hotel and 12 of the team had dinner, we swappped, held our own Inspiring Inkin’ team awards and where all tucked up by 10pm ready for Stampin’ Up! European convention to start……….

And start with a bang it did !  I’ve stolen this picture from Elizabeth, as mine didn’t come out very well.

Lots of very exciting news, and business talks, we where also wow’d by demonstrators presenting on stage.  I will be able to share the exciting news, but you will just have to wait a little longer……….

I was such a proud Stampin’ Up! mum, 2 of my fabulous team where on stage this year presenting, first up was Elizabeth, with an amazing Scallop Square Origami Christmas ornament, my hostesses will be receiving one of these at my workshops this month and during December.

And on Saturday Hayley shared some amazing workshop hints and tips, lovely projects and business tools too!

They where both a little nervous, but their professionalism on stage was inspiring, they did an amazing job !  During the rest of the day, we stamped and laughed, heard amazing stories, lots of prizes where won too!

We had a quick shower and change and it was off to the awards dinner, don’t the team look fabulous !!!

After a delicious dinner it was time to recognise demonstrators achievements, so many of the team where on stage this year, many for the first time, I am so very proud of them.  This year is the last year demonstrators will be ranked in the top 25 for the UK and we found out at check in that 5 of us where in the top 25.

Rhoda 22nd, Kerry 13th, Jane 11th, Hayley 8th and I ranked 2nd for the second year in a row !  Thank you so much to all of my team and customers I am so blessed to be able to do what I love for a career and that wouldn’t be possible without all of you !

I’ll be back with more pictures tomorrow.

Happy Stampin’
