StampThat Christmas Party Pictures
Unfortunately, I forgot to pick up the camera until people were starting to leave the Christmas Party last evening . . . . I did grab a few quick pictures that I thought you might like to see. We had a great time eating, creating, and even singing! I always love the Christmas parties - they're so much fun! I wish I had thought to use the camera earlier in the evening to show the fun cards that were created in our game and the cute little baby that came to visit us and the gift exchange and . . . . . If you missed the party this year, I hope you'll make your plans to Continue reading

Happy Memorial Day 2012
Happy Memorial Day! I want to say a special thank you to all our soldiers, both past and present for all they've given to keep our country free! The stamp set you see here is the Courage stamp set which is retiring in just a few more days. I thought for today maybe you would like to look back at a couple projects I've made in the past while we remember our heritage. One is a Patriotic Scrapbook Page, another time I made a piece of Patriotic Framed Art, and another piece of stamped framed art. Thank you for stopping by to visit today! Continue reading

Disney – The Last Night
One last day of Disney pictures and then it's back to lots of creative sharing! On Thursday evening we were able to drop the boys off for a special Kid's Night Out as all the trip achievers and their first guests headed to the Epic Stunt Theater at Hollywood Studios. As we boarded the buses we were handed these fun bags. Inside we found cotton candy, popcorn and bottled water! The show began with Indiana Jones falling through the roof and going through several scary moves to get his treasure (sorry, it's been a while since I've seen the movies, I don't remember exactly which scene it Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Disney Trip Gifts
One thing I've always enjoyed seeing other demonstrators share is the various gifts they received from Stampin' Up! on the incentive trips. The very first evening we were invited to a bit of a meet and greet on the boardwalk. We stopped by as a family before heading to bed (early nights for us with the boys) and each received a fun lollipop! Naturally they were a big hit with the boys! The most fun is the pillow gifts! It's so exciting to come back to the hotel room and find a gift left on your bed! (Actually, 3 of the gifts were handed to me personally simply because I was in the Continue reading

Incentive Trip Swap Cards
By now you're probably thinking we did nothing stamping related while on the Disney Incentive Trip. Well, that's almost true but we did sneak in a little time for creative things. Yesterday I showed you pictures of the Hospitality Room but I didn't show you everything. We had the choice of participating in a card swap while there at Disney. If we chose to participate, we made 26 cards, one for display and 25 to swap with other demonstrators. The cards on display were there in the Hospitality Room. I didn't take pictures of them all nor will I share all the pictures I did take, but here Continue reading
