All the way to Orlando and Back for OnStage!!

Hi Friends!
Once a year, Stampin'Up! holds a wonderful 3 day celebration called OnStage. The location varies and this year I was able to attend in Orlando!  I had never been to Florida and I wasn't able to spend any extra time there, so some day, maybe I'll go back and see more than the Orange County Convention Center !

Two of my SU demo friends went with me and we had a fabulous time as we attended all the sessions, met some new friends, grabbed some good food and came home with quite the freebies from Prize Patrols!  It was a lot of fun and just like the other events I've attended, well worth it. This is a special opportunity for all demonstrators so if you want to get in on the fun, talk to me about how easy it is to become a demonstrator.... and it will be even more worth your while come January, but I'll save that exciting news for the future!

I thought you would like to see some of the fun we had:


On our way to Orlando!


 Fluffy clouds that floated between us and the ground!


All checked in and ready for three days of fun!


In line.... we are good at waiting patiently!


Made it!
 
Lavonne was the first winner of Prize Patrol and she got a good one!


 In the eating and crafting area - picture opportunity!


When's the last time you had lunch with 6,000 friends and then crafted?


A highlight was meeting some demonstrators from The Netherlands, a mother and daughter duo!  We laughed about everything!


First look at the Occasions Catalog coming on January 3rd!


 First look at the Sale-A-Bration brochure  - coming January 3rd!


 Yay! We finally won Prize Patrol!


 Under the category of what doesn't grow in Montana - PALM TREES!!


Sneak peeks at some new products coming in January!





Anyone who signs up to be a demonstrator during January - March will have an opportunity to receive this craft and carry tote!


More product displays!










 It was my birthday on the second day of OnStage and my wonderful friends bought me some cake!


The clouds were also cool... did I mention it was about 80 degrees at night?






I achieved a major milestone this year with Stampin'Up! - $100,000 in career sales! 


One of several freebies!


All good things come to an end.... Watching the sunrise after getting to the airport at 5:00 a.m. and starting the long journey back north.  What a fun time!
