Well, helloooo there! I am safely home from Utah and I must say it was an awesome trip and a great experience! I flew out on Tuesday and stayed through Sunday. Feels like we ran from the minute the plane touched the tarmac until it was time to say our goodbyes (which is usual for an event like this!). My trip was full of wonderful experiences! I visited with old friends and made new ones! I met oodles of people from all over the country AND the world!! Since Stampin' Up! has gone global we now have the opportunity to meet demonstrators from literally all over the place! (Sooooo cool!!) It was truly an amazing event and one I will value for a long time! Only thing that could have made it any better was if I had been there with my Crazy Crowd gang!! Missed you guys!!!
I truly feel so fortunate to love what I do! I have made so many wonderful friends and have learned so much about the world of creating! It has been a very rewarding and positive part of my life for the last 10 years!!
Thought I would share a few more pictures with you and one more of the swaps that I made to take with me:
This is the Home Office. It is such a beautiful facility and they always do such a great job of making us feel welcome! We get to go in and beebop around and meet DS and see where all of the magic happens!
Here I am inside with Candi and Darlene! They were my roomies for the trip!
Us goofing around outside the building!
This was the view from our room! It is a really beautiful city!
View from the Convention center.
This was the theme of this years On Stage. It was printed everywhere!
One morning before the doors opened up! Everyone likes to be ready to zip in and grab a good seat! LOL
We got to do fun little projects and play with some of the new product! The new catalog is aaaaawwwweeeesome and Sale-A-Bration is going to be auh-maaaz-ing this year!! Get excited now!! It is going to be a little different this year, but in such a good way!!
Lunch with 2,000 of my new friends!
View of Utah!!
Very cool piece of artwork on display in front of the Convention center.
Cute little goodie bag they gave us to kick off the 30th anniversary celebration! There are going to be cool things happening all year to keep the celebration going!!

**************************************
On to the last of couple of projects I brought with me:
I participated in a coffee swap...anything goes! I made giant tags! I loooove tags, so this was fun! Do you have either of the coffee sets? They coordinate so beautifully with the matching framelits!!
I used the Coffee DSP for my background and the Eastern Medallions Thinlits combined with the Pansy punch to make my flowers. The leaves are from the Leaf punch and the coffee cups are from the Coffee Cups Framelits set.
Here are all of the things I used to crate my tag:
