Phoebe’s birthday packaging is bright and simple—perfect for anyone’s special day. Phoebe is definitely a bright spot in my life, and thankfully, I’m lucky enough to see her nearly every day!

Thanks, Terri, for including us in your special celebration in such a meaningful way! 

Susie Wood achieved her million-milestone earlier this week. What an accomplishment! Sara and I sent her this over-the-top card (and flowers, of course!), and we hope she loves it as much as we do! Congratulations, Susie!

I’m finally getting around to sharing Stella’s birthday box. This packaging was made long before OnStage, but it reminds me of the rainbow card Sara made for Stella on stage…although it’s missing glitter! Stella’s favorite color is purple, she loves to craft and ride horses, and she’s a bright spot in our lives!

Today and every day, I give thanks for the many blessings that are mine, including the challenges that help me grow physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I’m sure my list is similar to yours, but since this is my blog, it makes me feel good to list some of them, especially on this Thanksgiving Day. 

April Lopez recently achieved one-million in sales, and we’re so excited for her! She knew she was close to her milestone and would cross over during an event, so she surprised her customers with cupcakes and balloons, and they were thrilled to be part of April’s big moment! 

This card was designed especially for April with her favorite color and stamp set in mind. Congratulations, April!

After not being together for over 2 ½ years, we welcomed a couple of days in Orlando as a family, and then we went on a fun, four-night Disney cruise. We opened the outside balcony doors between our cabins, so we could visit with the families that opened their drapes (a code everyone understood), there were plenty of activities around the ship for everyone, and the weather was perfect! Even though there will probably always be someone missing (this year Sidney, Cameron, and Owen weren’t with us), we’ve decided that two years is too long in between family reunions! 

OnStage in Orlando (I’ve included photos from local events from around the world too) was a special event for me!

Here are the samples I shared on the incentive trip we took with demonstrators to Alaska in July. With the holidays right around the corner, hopefully something here will inspire you to create some holiday cheer! 

As I was carefully packing up my samples for OnStage this week (I’m so excited to be in Orlando with many of you!), I realized that I never shared my samples from April’s OnStage (product from Stampin’ Up!’s current annual catalog)…as well as the samples from the cruise (grrr!), so here are April’s samples, and I’ll post samples from the cruise in a couple of days.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays at Stampin’ Up! I love getting together and cheering for the teams and individuals who dress up…so creative! And although I don’t have any photos of them, seeing children in costume walk through the building with their parents, collecting treats from everyone’s desks, brings a special spirit into the building. It was a happy Halloween!

We hope Mary’s trip was all she hoped for and more!

It was a brilliant trip to Canada and the best birthday weekend!

We loved celebrating Connie and hope she feels celebrated!

Conference weekends, held every April and October, are two of my favorite weekends of the entire year (nearly ten hours of inspiration and counsel—all while lounging in my sweats!), and this conference was no exception.

Two great organizations were benefited, and two couples had the chance to get away together!
