Gifts From Leadership 2012

Hi all,

Today I wanted to share some of the gifts that Stampin' Up! gave us at Leadership.  I am so blessed to be able to work for such a great company!!  Stampin' Up! really treats you so well!

Leadership 2012 bag, this bag uses some fabric that will be available I think in the new Big Catty, which is coming out in June instead of July....Yeah!!  The other items were in the bag.

This notebook holder was in our spot when we went to do our make-n-takes.  It is personnally signed by our CEO Shelli Gardner.

Here is a pic with Shelli, she is awesome!!

This is the holder opened.  And guess what, my Kindle fits perfect in it.  I was going to go buy a case for my Kindle and I was showing one of my friends and she said, that is perfect for a Kindle and I got so excited because I didn't have a case for mine yet and it worked perfect in the middle pocket.

These are the stamp sets and supplies we got to complete our Make-n-takes.

My Digital Studio Make-n-Take that I framed and hung in My Stampin Pad.

Card created for Ronald McDonald House

Scrapbook pad using the Blossom Builders.

Friends at Leadership

Wanted to share with you all some pictures of me and some of my friends from Leadership.  When you join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator, you get the opportunity to attend wonderful events.  Leadership was awesome!!!  You meet some incredible people at these events.  I can't tell you how many wonderful friendships I have been blessed with from being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.   I truly do love what I do and so do these others that I am so lucky to call friends.  It is a blessing to be able to get together with them and share meals, ideas, swaps and so much more.

Thursday Night in San Antonio

You all won't believe what happened to us on Thursday evening in San Antonio.  They were filming a show for Extreme Makeover with Ty Pennington.  The show is scheduled to air in December 2012.  They were building homes for disabled Veterans.  These soldiers suffered from loss of limb, 3rd degree burns, one man has over 300 hundred pieces of shrapnel in his body, so it is painful to move.  It was an a very moving experience.  The organization that builds these homes is called   Lee Greenwood sang his wonderful song "Gob Bless the USA."  Roger Clemmons was there giving keys to the soldiers.  I feel lucky and blessed to have witness the show.  Here are a few pics from the event.

We also got to go to a Fundraiser dinner before the presentation.  We met American Idol top 40 winner John Wayne Schultz.  Here a couple pics from that.

 As you can tell we thought John Wayne was pretty hot and had to take our picture with him.

Go check out their website:  www.helpingahero.org.

Watch for details how you can help a hero over the next months.

Inky Hugs,

Becky
