AND I LIVED TO TELL THE TALE ..............

Well hello there !! Jeez what a fabby few days I just had, and boy oh boy do I know I have 2 legs. The experience was such a positive one we talked with so many people over the last 2 days spreading the word and promoting Stampin'Up! 

I met and hugged fellow demonstrators, I met some of my lovely and loyal customers (waves to both  glamorous Cath's and gorgeous Mariana and Kathy C.)  I met old friends and made new ones. 

I got to squeeze the gorgeous Ellie and her fabby Mummy THE KIRSTY WISEMAN, we met with people who knew who Stampin'Up! was and squealed with delight when they saw us there ( they know you see). 

We met excited customers saying WE ARE CONVERTS!! (so funny) who already had a demonstrator service them, and demos I am afraid I am a bit guilty of sending your existing customers that visited our stand into a bit of a frenzy over the new catalogue, I hope they will take my advice and get in touch to book their parties. 

And everyone that visited our stand was amazed by the displays, one word you could hear loud and clear from most of them was 

I LOVE THE COLOUR!! 

And that was music to our ears because that's what we are all about at Stampin'Up!,  COLOUR the fabulous colour coordination across our range.

The stand was hard work to put together and we were the last ones to leave inspite of not having any stock to put out, you could spot we were newbies from a mile, everyone looked so efficient and prepared with stands and displays while me and Jo messed about with sticky strip and safety pins to create something remotely acceptable.LOL  

It took us 2 1/2 hours to get the basic structure right after moving it around 3 times (even thought I had made a clear plan ahead of time where things would go), well my excuse was that it didn't work in situ and it had to be changed so we changed it, THREE TIMES heee hee. 

We were pleased with the results in the end thank God as the security guy was getting very impatient in the end. 

We had a ton of samples on display, and 3 boxes plus one stand didn't even make it. People loved admiring the projects and taking lots of photos. Most of the projects were ones I created myself but the vast majority were lovelies made by my talented team, and fellow demonstrators so I hope you will get to spot some of your own work displayed on the video later on.

I need to mention Fiona Duthie and thank her publicly for her amazing paper wreath (above photo) she made for me, Fiona everyone LOVED IT !!! thank you so much.

Now I would have not been able to do any of this without my fabulous team of Passionettes. And while a few of them are not official Passionettes yet, they are in my eyes until their starter kits arrive, I LOVED working with you girls what a great bunch of ladies!!

So HUGE thanks for their tremendous help goes to 

Joanne Press

Jane Bisby

Alison Wilkins 

Kim Nolan

Thank you so much girlies for all your help what a team we are !!!!

Here's me, Jo and Kim on Sunday, unfortunately I left my camera at home Saturday and I haven't got pictures of Jane and Alison but you can see them both briefly at the beginning of the video. 

We did 150 FREE  makes n takes over the two days and Ali and Kim were both our demos extraordinaries, everyone loved the TREE TRIMMINGS set and loved the SMAJ even more.
I will leave you with a tour of our stand, you will have to excuse the poor video skills I was trying to get it done before the doors opened and everyone started pouring in.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who visited our booth this last weekend, thank you for the lovely comments and compliments, Caroline THANK YOU for the chocolates (that was so very kind of you).

Now Enjoy the tour of our booth and till next time BIG HUGS> I think I am going back to bed now LOL xxx
