Incentive Trip Part Two - Beautiful Colours and Look Who I Found!!

Before the cruise we spent a few days in Seattle!  I was really taken in by the colours of the place!

The Chihuly Gardens was a beautiful collection of glass blown sculptures.

On the final night we stayed at the Sheraton Hotel with many other Stampin' Up! trip, achievers and...look who was there!

My buddy and team member Angela! 

And the next day we set sale!!

Incentive Trip Part One

With the help of my customers and team I was lucky enough to achieve the 2018 Incentive Trip:  an Alaskan cruise!

This means the flights and cruise for two people are paid for by SU!!

We added onto our trip by

A:  bringing Zac along too

and

B: visiting LA, the Grand Canyon and completing a train trip from LA to Seattle!

I am going to create a few blog posts showing you some highlights so here goes!

Our LA stay was three nights and we took advantage of the hop on hop off bus loops.

A visit to LA has to include Beverly Hills right?  It was stinking hot, even for the locals.

We visited The Beverly Wiltshire - where they peel grapes for important visitors.  I had to settle for smelling their beautiful rose display.

And Blake waited outside the Pretty Woman lift (and yes, there is a seat in there!)

We found the fortune telling machine from BIG on the Santa Monica Pier...

And rode electric scooters from Santa Monica to Venice Beaches.  Cool!

Lots of grandness in Hollywood!

And lots of tipping requirements!!

From LA we went by train overnight to Flagstaff, by bus to William and then by Grand Canyon train to...guess where.

While waiting for this spectacular sunrise...

This little fella popped up from the canyon below...

We travelled back to LA then took a 36 hour train trip to Seattle!  The scenery was beautiful and the food plentiful!

Tune in for the next blog post for some Seattle pics and some cruise highlights!!

I did it!

I have some exciting news.  Since October 1st of last year, I have had my sights set on earning the Stampin' Up!®  Incentive Trip to Alaska!  And.... we did it!!

By 'we' I mean all of you.  You can't come, sorry, but you all helped me.  Everyone who has ordered from me, come to my classes, come to my free events, been part of my team and encouraged me has helped me across the line.

Hubby and son have been a huge help along the way, firstly by being patient with all the events that occur in the house and how long it takes me to tidy each one away!  And by helping out with all manner of things:  selling raffle tickets, putting tables up, taking tables down, putting chairs out, putting chairs away...you get the idea.

This is how I told them I had got there.  I made cards for each of them which I presented at dinner.

 

And inside read...

My son is playing it cool and hasn't responded but hubby, who has a great sense of humour sent me an email...

So I sent him a form which of course, he filled in...

 

 

If you are a Stampin' Up! fan you'll understand the two referees!  Mary Fish is an American demonstrator and one of my SU! idols.  Aaron is the Business Development Manager for Stampin' Up! Australia.

 

And since sharing my news I have received lovely cards from customers and team members!

 

 

 

 

This is a bucket list trip of a lifetime!  I can't believe I earned it making cards and sharing my love of papercraft!  Thanks once again to all of you who have been with me along the way.  I hope to keep offering more fun events for you in the future!

 

If you'd like to know how to you could be part of a future incentive trip, I am happy to blab on to you about it.

Thanks for stopping by!
