I was able to attend an OnStage Local (mini-convention) in Atlanta, GA last weekend. As always, Stampin' Up! put on a wonderful show full of great ideas and stamping tips. Plus, they spoiled us with lots of prizes and give-aways. Here's a look at all the loot I came home with:
It's always fun to see some old friends at these events and to make some new ones. Another "northern" Demo friend, Deanna Wolfe from Pennsylvania, also attended the event in Atlanta instead of going to the one in New Jersey. It was fun to see Deanna during the event and we took a picture together during the CentreStage event for Silver Elite and above Demos.
Stampin' Up! also recognizes Demonstrators for meeting various goals at these events. Sometimes we just stand and wave and sometimes we get to march across the stage. I got to march across the stage with others a couple of times, but I also got to walk across the stage all by myself (a bit embarrassing) for having reached $300K in career sales thanks to all of my wonderful customers. Deanna was kind enough to take a quick picture of me and send it to me.
Of course, one of the other big highlights of these events is the chance to see the catalogs and products early and even get to play with a few of the products while creating make and take projects. Here are the projects we were able to make with a few tweaks by me using additional product after I got home to finish them up.
