Home Sweet Home

While coming home to your own bed is a wonderful thing, I have to admit that I didn’t want to leave Salt Lake City and the awesome Convention!  It was unbelievable!  I am not quite sure where to begin with all the excitement!  First, I did survive my presentation.  Thank you to ALL of you for the many prayers!  I am so grateful for the many friends that gave me encouragement. 

This year I was awarded the #2 Demonstrator of the Year!!  I just can’t believe it.  Awards night was such a blur that I look back and wonder how I made it up the stairs??  I know my sweet husband helped me get there.  LOL!  After that amazing award, it got even better.  I was honored with a position on the Advisory Board.  I still can’t believe it and felt like I needed to be pinched a dozen times.  I could hear my friends and downline screaming and cheering and my cheeks hurt from all the smiling.  It was awesome.  I am so thankful for my AWESOME customers and downline for their constant support and encouragement.  These acheivements were not made without them! 

Another great surprise was seeing one of my downline earn Rising Star.  She was number 9!  I was so excited for her and this big accomplishment.  She worked hard and deserved it!

Each day of convention was great and full of surprises.  I will share a few tidbits of my fun over the week!  I wanted to share the rest of the chipboard album I made last week.  This album was made for my sweet Service Account Manager (SAM) at Stampin’ Up!  She is someone that lifts me up and helps me with my business in so many ways.  I am grateful to have her!  Here is the cover of the book again….

Because it’s late I’m not going to list all the products that I used.  It was a fun book to make and I loved giving it to Maxine.  Now, let me show you what a DIVA Maxine is.  We met for dinner the first night I was there.  Check out these hot shoes and Sassy pants!

I want to say a HUGE thank you to the many demonstrators that I spoke with at convention.  I enjoyed meeting so many new friends! 

There are so many exciting things coming up with Stampin’ Up! I can’t wait to share it all with you.   I’m off to my bed!  Check back tomorrow for more convention pics and a fun card I made for friends at convention!

  3. Hi Kimberly, Congratulations again to you While I have followed your blog for quite some time it was a pleasure to finally meet you and your husband. You both are delightful. This being my first convention was an overwhelming experience but fun, informative, and uplifting. It gave me a little confidence boost and seeing you and Lisa up on stage time after time was exhilarating. I came home with such excitement and am ready to conquer the world!! The stamping world that is!! Enjoy your year. Hope to see you at Leadership! Debbie Keane

  4. Hi Kimberly, I just wanted to say congratulations to you on being # 2 yeah! I found your blog last week thru another demos blog and I watched your video on using the dimensional paste, which was really cool. But this album has some beautiful pages, love it. Enjoy your day!
