Sydney Convention - Saturday!

Saturday started off with Make and Takes... YEY!

Who doesn't enjoy rubber and ink amongst this lot!? lol

We made some lovely projects this year that will make great workshop demos, and the best bit is they were with our NEW 'not yet released' Stamp Sets!

Bec & Melissa enjoying this years make and take projects.

Ellie & Fiona getting their dose of rubber & ink!

Saturday was a relaxing day as we had make & takes in the big hall in the morning session, and stayed in the big hall for Main Stage Workshop Elements for the afternoon. We made our cosy nesting spot for the day and settled right in!

Joining Stampin' Up! has meant that I have made many beautiful friendships through being part of the Paper Angels Group and through my workshops where I get the chance to meet new people each and every time and build wonderful relationships through our passion for Stampin'.

There is one very special friend that I have met, that I can say I would never had met if it wasn't for Stampin' Up!... and that is Jeanette. Jeanette is one of the amazing Demonstrator Support girls we have here in our Australian office. Of course I feel like now I know all the girls at Demonstrator Support like friends, they are all a wonderful bunch. Over the past 2 years, Jeanette has been a reassuring voice on the other end of the phone. Always there with answers to my queries, solutions to my problems, ready to listen to me when I have had a proud moment to share, without a doubt always having a chuckle with me as we get carried away in conversation about just about anything! We certainly have built a wonderful friendship, and being at Convention meant we could catch up in the flesh and enjoy more of the giggles etc together that we usually would only get to do over the phone.

Here's Jeanette and I posing for the first of what became a portfolio just about

of pics together over the weekend! xo

***SIRENS*** Did someone say "Prize Patrol" again?

Here's Kate smiling ear to ear as Cate from Demonstrator Support presents her with her Prize Patrol Stamp Set!

Now... never short of a laugh when amongst Stampers, this topped the lot for me. I loved it!!!

Pam Morgan, Vice President of Stampin' Up! took main stage to share with us 'The Big Shot!'. Her opening line was not what anyone could have ever expected, and had us rolling in stitches on the floor. Pam shared with us something along the lines of "Did you know that Stampin' is a great way to get fit?". As she did this, on came the music and she performed an aerobic workout using the Big Shot as weights!

What a cracker that was!!!!!

As the afternoon came to an end, it was a sad feeling knowing Convention was nearly over.

We headed back to our rooms with our Convention Bags, Make and Takes, New Stamp Sets, and many memories and stories of the wonderful experiences we'd had over the past couple of days, and got ourselves ready for our Fancy Dinner and Awards Night.

To be continued...

Convention Swaps that caught my eye!

Hundreds of demonstrators swapping hundreds of cards... the inspiration overwhelming... What a wonderful feeling! You can never get enough when it comes to seeing ideas and what other people create.

I'm busting at the seems to share with you some of the swaps that caught my eye.

Now, as I didn't personally swap, I don't have these at home to be able to refer to who created them, but I give credit to each and every creatively inspiring demonstrator who made these swaps I have photographed to share with you.

Enjoy...

This is not all, I will post more in the next few days.

I thought this might be enough though for now...

So the question is... Which one are you going to make first?????

Sydney Convention - Friday

After our crazy night with the fire evacuations, surprisingly we all woke up beaming with energy for a fun filled first day of Convention. It doesn't matter how little sleep you've had when it comes to stampin' fever in the air!

The morning started off with registrations, we all got our Funky 2010 Convention Bags, filled with goodies including 2 new stamp sets, not yet released... Oooooh!

Swaps were flying here there and everywhere. Ursula swapped 150 swaps in record time, and as I hadn't had time this year to make swaps, I helped Liz swap hers. I will share with you some photos of the swaps that were my personal favourites in the next few days, so stay tuned.

Then... the doors opened... and the fun kept rolling on!

What an amazing atmosphere in the General Session Hall.

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work" Thomas Edison.

I tell you what, times like these with my Beautiful Paper Angel friends remind me how thankful I am that I was given the opportunity to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator with such a wonderful group of girls xo

In our convention bags we each got a Stampin' Up! hat...

how cute is Ursula trying hers on for size! giggle xo

"The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing" Stephen R Covey

The main thing for me is fun... I tell you what, Stampin' Up! Convention certainly takes that to the max.

Specially when Prize Patrol Appear.... Two of the Paper Angels were lucky to win New Stamp Sets from the Autumn Winter Mini. The Prize Patrol Siren goes off, the room rumbles, and the winners can't wipe the smiles off their faces!

Here's Anna proudly waiving her new Tiny Tags Set in the air!

Trish receiving her new set Pendant Park from Stampin' Up! presenter Shannon.

One of the most entertaining presenters is Bonnie from Stampin' Up! Home Office in Utah. I'm sure Bonnie is a comedian when she's not Stampin', she sure knows how to get the room laughing and shares wonderful ideas in her presentations. I could sit through Bonnie's workshops day in day out.

Bonnie & Ursula

With so many stories to share of our fun day, we headed over to the shops and placed ourselves in a cosy Corner of Gloria Jeans.

We finished off with a lovely Thai dinner overlooking the Harbour then headed home to bed. All with the same thoughts I am sure... "hopefully the fire alarms don't go off again", and "can't wait to see what's in store tomorrow!"
