Hey everyone, I had the most splendid time in Nashville at Stampin’ Up’s Leadership Conference  Made new friends and reconnected with old friends.  Learned a lot and feel so motivated.   I was there until Friday Evening and then Traveled to Fayetteville, TN to teach some fun and talented ladies my brayer techniques on Saturday.  Sunday I drove home to Ohio and upon reaching my home I have been bed ridden since with the Flu.   Just wanted you to know why my blog has not been updated lately.  I’ll be back creating ASAP.   Now I’m going back to my NyQuil Dreams.

Much love to you all.

Hugs,

Michelle

Well it is the end of day 2 at the Stampin’ Up Conference and it was a super fabulous day.  Above is a pic of Kristin Kortonick and I making our way up on stage to be recognize for our promotions to Manager!

Below, front row seats for general session.  🙂

Below is Shelli Gardner on stage sharing with us some exciting new changes that are coming up.   Stampin’ Up functions are over the top.

After the changes were announced on stage the news was put up on Stampin’ Up’s Demo website.  So if you are a demo, check it out.  I don’t see any negatives to the changes, only good!

Kristin, Kristin, Claire and I on the stage steps.

Below are some views of the Gaylord Motel here in Nashville, TN.  This place is stunning.

Sorry this post is so short, but I have had a fun but tiring day.  Need to get my beauty sleep before the activities start tomorrow morning.

Huge Hugs,

Michelle

Howdy!  Well I’m here in Nashville, TN for Stampin’ Up’s Leadership Conference.  It is off to a great, great start.  Here I am with a couple of my buddies, Kristin & Claire.  We just returned from the Manager’s reception (Great food, line dancing and Live Music at the Wild Horse Saloon) and were presented with our Conference bag and a new top secret stamp set!

Thanks to Kristin Kortonic for letting me swipe her pics of us.

Who is that funny looking cowgirl on the right any how, lol.    This makes me remember just why I don’t wear hats.

Hugs to you all!

Well I am going to go sit and worry about my fur baby, Abby, my black Labrador.  I dropped her at the Vet this morning to have a lump removed from her chest.   I’m sure she will be fine, but I still am worried.  Please send good vibes to the Vet for me.     On a lighter note, my husband has been telling people that Abby is having a breast reduction, lol, Men!

May your day be filled with love and laughter.

Hey, I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I am taking a bit of a break from blogging until January 2, 2011 so I can spend some much needed time with my family and friends before I hit the road again.  Feel free to e-mail me during this time.  I will be checking it.  🙂

Please stay safe and have the best holidays ever!

Much love to you,

Michelle

P.S.  Check out this poem I received from Pauline Slovak.   Gotta love it!

Brayers roll. . . . are you listening.

On the card. . . . ink is glistening.

A Beautiful sight. . .  we’re happy tonight.

Stamping in a Winter wonderland.

In the kitchen we can stamp a snowman.

Then add color to his carrot nose.

You’ll say:  Are you Finished?

I’ll say:  No Ma’am, I need to add some glitter to make snow.

When we stamp . . .  ain’t it thrilling.

Even when . . . .  the powders spilling.

We’ll create and we’ll play. . . .the art stamper way,

Stamping in a Winter wonderland.

Thank you so much Pauline!

The winner of  the blog candy is. . . . . .
