Helping Haiti

As all of you know…on January 12, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope.

To help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this devastating earthquake, Stampin Up! will set aside $2 from the sale of every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set (117010) and donate it to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund. (Until Feb. 28, 2010)

The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. Click HERE to see what else Stampin' Up! is doing to help out the relief effort in Haiti.

 
This set comes in either clear mount or wood mount.
Wood-Mount 117010 $35.95
Clear-Mount 118571 $24.95 (Block D recommended 118485 $11.50)

Leadership 2010 Recap

Wow! I can't believe that I have been home from Leadership for over almost 2 weeks already.  I am still on such a high!
This was my first Leadership, actually it was my first Stampin' Up event.  And all I have to say is WOW! WOW! WOW! You really don't know what it's like to be part of Stampin' Up! until you are attending one of their events.

What is Leadership Conference? When Stampin’up! demonstrators gather, great things happen. That’s certainly the case at leadership conference. Demonstrators with growing downlines are invited to attend a two-day event filled with ideas. Sessions focus on leadership skills, management methods, and opportunities to build your business.

As with any Stampin’ Up! event, attendees participate in swaps, sharing ideas, and stamping! In addition to the priceless information and motivation, leadership conference participants receive a conference program, an exclusive designer bag, lunch both days, and an exclusive stamp set that will be available in our latest catalogue + more surprises….

Throughout our 3 days, I got the opportunity to do some wonderful make and takes, see some WOW! demonstrations (and demonstrators!), attend business classes and get tips, make new friends, meet the wonderful Shelli (Co-founder of Stampin' Up!) and spend time with some awesome gals! Here are a few pictures to highlight my week...

We ALL (1000+ demonstrators attending Leadership!) received this stamps set called Elements of Style.  It's from the Summer mini coming in April.  I can't wait to play with it!  The above card with the butterfly is a Shelli creation.  Isn't it beautiful?  Love her vintage style!!!

These are pictures of one of our served lunches! That's right! They spoiled us rotten and they fed us too!

Lastly, here is a picture me with Cindy, Tracie and Maggie in the hotel lounge having a late night drink!

The wonderful gals that I got to spend the week with all said that this was by far the best Leadership event. How lucky was I that it was my first!? The bar is set pretty high now!

Shelli has not announced next year's Leadership location but you can be sure that I am  planning on being there!
