Stampin’ Up! Hello From OnStage 2017!

Happy Saturday!  I’m coming to you not-really-live 🙂 from Salt Lake City!  At the 2017 OnStage event!

Before I get going, let’s take a moment to thank all the Veterans out there.  They’ve served and given much (or all) in our defense and we must each be grateful – every day, but especially on Veteran’s Day.  Thank you, one and all.

So, thought you might enjoy some pictures of what we’ve been up to here!  Still can’t give you any sneaky peeks of the new catalog…watch for those on Monday, okay??

I wanted to show you the cute little treat holders I made and brought with me for all the Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew and Amy’s Inkin’ Krew ladies who came to the event this year!

If you’re a Paper Pumpkin subscriber – you probably recognize these as the cute little treat pillow boxes from the September kit!  But…I bet when you got yours they weren’t all made up and stuffed with…chocolate! 😉

And for my Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew ladies who made the trek to OnStage this year…

A Stampin’ Up! Love Today Planner – to help them keep track of their business efforts!!  I’ve got one and love it – so I figured they would, too!

I’ve gotten lots of rest and time to chill-ax here at OnStage!

NOT!

It’s been a wonderful whirlwind of new products and whoo-hooing and laughter and whoo-hooing and demonstrations and whoo-hooing….you get the drift!  On top of seeing the new 2018 Occasions Catalog (which is…beyond amaze-balls!!) and the Sale-A-Bration catalog (who knew they could notch it UP so far?!?) – I’m spending time with some of my favorite peeps!!

Ready?  That’s Amy, Julie, Mary (no lie – we discovered yesterday morning at breakfast that we’re both Mary Kathleen!!), Jari, Kristi, Deepa, Jackie and Beth!

One of the fun things about coming to any Stampin’ Up! event is…Prize Patrol!  A drumroll commences – and they show us the prize (a stamp set from the new catty) and up on the screen flashes a picture of a pin!  If the picture matches the one you got in your welcome bag – then you win!  At which time – you leap to your feet and start acting the fool and whoo-hooing and clapping and a member of the Home Office comes and hand you a new goody!!

Julie quickly got the hang of it!!

Once you get your new goody – you have to pose for a picture.

It’s a real thing.

Oh – you weren’t hoping to be able to scope out the new goodies were you?!?  Don’t even bother enlarging those pictures – won’t work.  No peeks until Monday at 1pm Mountain Time!!  But – good effort!

Amy sort of tried to pose – but…I got a picture of her she’d hate.

So – I’m going to be her friend and not post it.

Unless she tries to accuse me of any more nefariousness – then – THEN – I’ll trot that picture out!  Let’s just call it…insurance, shall we?!? 😉

And – I got to attend CenterStage on Thursday night with Amy.  Wow!  

Great dinner… totally not diet friendly – but seriously yummy!  If you’ve never had Port Onion Bisque en Croute (and who has?!?) – well.  Mmmmmm!!!

The evening ended with a speaker – one of the funniest guys I’ve ever gotten to watch!  Folks – if you ever get a chance to see Jason Hewlett do his thing – go go GO!  He had the whole room rolling – even as he delivered his motivational talk.  Really awesome!

On Friday, we spent the morning in the MainStage area, watching several demonstrators….well…demonstrate! the new products.  Then it was time to breakout into the different product spotlight sessions, where we got to learn about a few of the new Suites and do our make-and-takes.

Amy led one of the sessions – you won’t be surprised to hear that she rocked it!

You may also not be surprised that we did a lot of clapping, cheering and whoo-hooing during her presentation. 😉

So – we’re at the half-way point here – the time goes so quickly!  I can’t wait until Monday afternoon when I can share the new catalog and Sale-A-Bration!!  You’re going to be….wowed!

TTFN

Mary

P.S.  We also got word of a new Stampin’ Tool.  I think you’re going to want it.  

P.P.S  And by “want” it – I mean “want it BAD!!” 😉

P.P.S.  Just sayin’.

P.P.P.S.  That was kinda mean, wasn’t it?? 😉
