More from Stampin’ Up! Europe Convention 2012……………

So I don't know if any of you have seen the last couple of days but I appear to have lost them???

Back to convention chat……

Here is me and some of my wonderful team members hamming it up with a little silliness during the break, and yes that is only water!!

Here are my general swaps, with thanks to my wonderful downline who gave up a day of her half term holiday to help make them, we made approx 100 in all in two colour ways and I managed to swap every one of them.  I hope to share the swaps with you at my upcoming classes and parties.

Our team don't half scrub up well, here we are at the awards night…..

And here I am.  I am so blessed to have won awards on the night.  It is with thanks to my marvellous team members, my customers and the support of my family that I was up on that stage and I am truly thankful.

I was recognised for reaching £100,000 sales in my Stampin' Up! career, I was in the Top 5 of the three award categories and won some beautiful prizes for which I will share photos in the coming days.

I won 1st place in the recruiting category which is for my first level recruits reaching their first promotion of Bronze 2.  I won 2nd place in the leadership category which is for my first level recruits promoting from Bronze 2 and above and I won 3rd place in overall sales in the last year.

The stage was HUGE!!  And I was so nervous that I had an attack of sweaty palms!  Then my poor little feet that are only used to slippers and comfy shoes were subjected to a long walk across the stage in high heels that I had to take them off for the walk to the stage before hurriedly putting them back on to walk across the stage.

I was also recognised for earning the incentive trip to Utah in 2013 which is going to be a trip of a lifetime and we are already planning our itinerary as we hope that our kids can fly out and meet us so we can explore the west coast of America.

I may look calm but this was just before it started and I was SO nervous…

I made a few extra swaps which had a small chocolate bar and a teabag for anyone looking like they needed a cuppa and some sugar 🙂

And that is the latest installment, come back for more photo's of my prizes, my goodies and a swap or two!

Have a great weekend
