Convention Photos




Convention swap

Outback Spectacular - Helen & Monica

Good morning everyone
Here are some photos of Convention 2008. Photos never convey the emotional aspect of an event...I look at these photos and straight away think back to some of the funniest and emotional times. Lots to scrapbook! Highlights for me were the road trip we took up to the Tamberine mountains. The views were spectacular and lots of great little shops. It was raining and cold - a nice change from Karratha. That night we went to Outback Spectacular which was fantastic.

This is the swap that I made for convention. It uses my favourite stamp set Scribble That, dazzling diamonds, crystal effects, white gel pen and white craft stamp pad. I made a 12x12 layout for a workshop and adapted it for a card. Its very quick and the word can be changed to suit the occasion. I've used the word punch for that.
Well better go. Have a great day. Helen

Demonstrator of the Year 2008

Hey everyone!
So excited!! I'm away on the gold coast right now having just attended the Stampin'UP! Conventiona and awards night for 2008. It was so much fun and one of the highlights was seeing so many of our team totally kick butt!!
Ngaire Anderson who is my upline, won DEMONSTRATOR OF THE YEAR !! OMG. She also won for the most sales, received cash for reaching $100 000 sales milestone and is just the most gorgeous person you will ever meet. GO Ngaire! Go Ngaire!!
Also Cherita won an award for her sales, as did Skip for her number of recruits, Makeesha for lots of things including a new award. Heart of Stampin'Up! which recognises a demonstrator for doing something really great for others. Keesh organised a big stamping day in Perth and donated her total commission to Breast Cancer research, after Louise Ryan was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time at only nearly 40 years of age. Our whole group were in tears, I'm crying now just trying to write about it....OK, got myself together now. Kerrie and I were sobbing on the night. Keesh won a beautiful necklace.
Well, I'm off its my last day here and gotta post off some stuff. Plus saw some gorgeous clothes yesterday, don't know how I'm going to fit them in the case!!! Hels xxxxooo
