Well, I am back from convention…I had a really great time…but no pink bag for me! I was pretty sad when I found out (that is why I didn't post while I was gone). I had my 2 days of mourning and I am back on track and excited about the new year! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your support over the last year (and especially as I closed out my year at the end of June). I had a fabulous year and I am proud of my accomplishments, which include a trip to the Southern Caribbean (leaving late April 2010), I did recieve a sales award and 3 stamp sets from the new catalog and I also hit a milestone of having sold $300,000 over my career! That is something to be said!!
Here are some pics from my trip:
This is Leesa, Lisa, and me for our $300.000 milestone (it comes with a nice bonus check!)
This is a slightly out of focus picture of my friend Lisa (sheesh, I know a lot of Lisa's!!) She just hit $1 Million dollars of career sales (only the 2nd in SU history to do so) and she got a BIG FAT bonus check, plus a HUGE basket of stampin goodies! I was so darn excited for her!
Here are a bunch of us for our sales award…from Left to right….Patty, Kim, Tammy, Jen, and me…too bad that camera guy's head is in the way! 🙂
This is my roommate Chari. She is the VERY best! As some of you know I can be a bit of a spaz and she is really good at keeping me chilled out! :) She and I get along really well and she totally rescued me several years back and we've been awesome buddies ever since. She is also one of my swapping girls so I post her awesome work every once in a while!
We had a great time together and I always look forward to seeing her at my SU events!
🙂 That is it for now…more once I am unpacked and well rested! :)…or at least till I am unpacked!

Okay, maybe no bag/trip this year, HOWEVER you have gained SO MUCH over the years…goals met, trips earned and TONS of friends to support you and cheer you on. I know you know this too. 😉 I think I speak for many of your “Ladies” that we love your inspiration, enthusiasmm, and vigor for ‘loving what you do, sharing what you love and helping others enjoy their creative accomplishments.’ 🙂

I would have to say I agree with Deb’s post you are a very awesome and creative lady! Your enthusiasm for stamping is so contagious! You make it fun and easy! I know you are down trust me I have been there! I know how it is to be in the top sales one year and not there the next! Not fun but it will make you more motivated for next year! And in the scope of life one less pink bag really won’t matter-look at all the memories you have made along the way! There will be more bags and until then I too, am sending a hug your way and a congrats on those great sales!! -Melinda
Hiya! I don’t even know you but I follow your blog and love your projects! 🙂 Don’t be down about the bag….the one from last year that you’re holding in your pic was WAYYYY cuter! You’ve earned a cruise, which I’m totally amazed by! (beats a trip to Utah by miles, don’t ya think?!)
And it’s obvious your stampin’ girls love you. Keep it up….you’re doing everything right!
Lots of hugs —

You got recognition for some great accomplishments and can look forward to another cruise! I am looking forward to seeing the great ideas you have come up with for your class list this year.
