I'm Back!

A very quick post today to say “Hi” before I get back into more mundane things like washing!!
First things first : we have a winner!! I didn’t need to draw any names out of the hat because only one of you guessed correctly – CONGRATULATIONS SARAH!! Option 1 was the one I went with in the end.
Sarah is one of my lovely Stamp Club ladies who I get to stamp with every month…..look out for something special in the mail soon Sarah ;). Thanks to everyone who joined in the competition:).
Sarah happens to be a Twilight fan also, and she made me this gorgeous card inspired by  Stephanie Meyer’s book:

And, who would have guessed there would more than a few Twilight fans at Stampin’ Up! Convention??!! Here is another Twilight themed swap I received from the lovely Samantha Post:

ATC sized and small enough to wear close to my heart 😉 lol.
Now I know you will all want to hear all the news from Convention and I plan to give you all the details in installments over the next few days with photos when I have sorted through them all.
It was an amazing time and I felt very honoured to share the experience with my team members and fellow demonstrators many of whom received awards and who were recognised on stage for their achievements this past year.
A highlite for me was being recognised on stage along with some incredibly talented and gifted demonstrators and coming in at 4th Place for the Demonstrator of the Year award. This also meant I was No 1 Demonstrator in NSW !!!
There are so many people to say “thank you” to, but for this post I want to say a huge thank you to Shelli Gardner for her vision, her graciousness and her love for every single demonstrator in the Stampin’ Up! family, yes – it is much more a family than it is a company- and I’m looking forward to sharing the journey with Stampin’ Up! Australia in the next 20 years and beyond.

Back later with some more pictures of Convention 2009:Day 1 !!!
