Happy to be home after a fabulous few days at the Stampin’ Up! Convention! I went to convention knowing I had earned the Hawaii trip and feeling so grateful to all of you for that, particularly after this past “medical” year!
However…..I had no idea that I would be named to the Founders’ Circle, the group of the top 100 demonstrators with SU! (along with my wonderful downline Linda Heller, also in this picture, and Georgia Giguere!)
Last year, I did not earn the cruise – only the second time in my 17 years with SU! that I didn’t. I was feeling a bit sad about that (Tim even more so!), but, as life turned out, I couldn’t have gone on it anyway!!! My 89 year mother had major surgery and I needed to stay with her for a few weeks. I was so thankful that I didn’t have to cancel that trip at the last minute!
This past year is one of those years that will stand out in my memory forever! Between my cancer, attending my MIL for the last month of her life, and staying with my mom after her surgeries I have learned a lot of good things….. how to slow down and appreciate every moment for what it is comes to mind right now…. and then to have this surprise at the end of the year…. I cannot begin to express my gratitude!
One of my goals for this year is to get to know you better.
I have a special members-only Facebook group (Back Porch Stampers) just for customers where I post a new card or project every day and we have games and prizes for things that customers post! I have lots of fun of special things planned for this group!
In addition to that, I have a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Stampingonthebackporch) for everyone and I would love to have you follow me there! Go check out what I am offering my readers this week!!!
Come join the conversations and/or email me anytime with questions. I love to hear from you!
