Team 'Fun'raiser - our second annual play day

 Some of my fabulous team The Lorikeet Stampers gathered on the weekend to stamp, socialise and create!  We gathered at the Lonestar Tavern for our first get together of the year!  It's a great opportunity to play with new products.

Happy table pics!

Little gifts for everyone: one of our new mini Blending Brushes and a delicious ice cream cone shaped cookie!

Remember mintie tearing competitions?  Everyone received a Basic White circle which they had to cut into a spiral using their Paper Snips.  Longest spiral won....cut by Kylie-Jean.

Lots of prizes throughout the day with a scavenger hunt and a quiz.

Our service project was to create single sided cards for Hope in a Suitcase

We made 74 cards in total which I will deliver very soon.  A bright and happy message to tuck into suitcases.

And the ladies were asked to bring some items to donate to the Hope in A Suitcase collection - that's a lot of beautiful donations!

We had some displays to inspire....

And of course some make and takes with new products.

I was blessed to be given this beautiful bunch of flowers and card at the end!  Thanks Mary-Anne for organising!

Centrestage and Onstage - a celebration of demonstrators

This past weekend has been a blast!  Stampin' Up!® treat us (although we pay, we get such great value) to a fabulous event called Onstage all day Saturday and Centrestage on Friday night.

Centrestage is a special training and dinner for demonstrators who are Silver Elite and above.

Here's me with my buddy Bec.  We swap all sorts of business ideas and work together on events.

And Angela who is in my team, has had the most amazing Stampin' Up! year and has achieved the Incentive trip to Alaska.

The tables are always beautifully styled.

And there's Holly from the Home Office giving us some business tips.

I didn't want to be one of those people who photographs all their food, but just wanted to show you dessert.  the food was magnificent.

Saturday is Onstage - hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the Gold  Coast Convention Centre for a day of creative and business inspiration.  This is such a fun day - we get to hang out with stamping friends and be inspired by a company that has such a positive message.

On arrival we receive the Onstage bag and a lanyard.  There are also ribbon strips to attach which show your achievements for the year.

The tables are set up to look fabulous with strict 'no peeking' instructions.

 Scott from the home office had us raising our SU! mugs and shouting gidday.  We educated him on Aussie Aussie Aussie as the day progressed.

 And I got to present!  I was privileged to be asked to showcase one of the suites from the new catalogue.  I was up on stage at Onstage (see what I did there!?)

And if that wasn't exciting enough, I got to walk across stage for achieving the Alaskan Cruise and then....this happened.

I received TWO awards - one for recruiting and one for overall performance!!  Yowsa!  Number 4 in both.

 A card signed by Shelli and Sara.

When I joined SU! I used to watch other demonstrators achieve amazing milestones, never imagining that I would be up there one day!

This is a wonderful company and they treat their demonstrators so well, celebrating and recognizing them in fabulous ways.  If I can do it,anyone can!

I will be booking my flights for the next Onstage (in Sydney) and then for the next event.  They are so much fun and a great shot in the arm for inspiration.

Swaps and Gifts at Onstage 2017

Every six months we are treated by Stampin' Up!® to a fantastic day of creative and business inspiration called Onstage.  This time round, one of the venues was on the Gold Coast, so I had a good number of my team attend.  I can't show you any of the sneak peeks yet....

Part of the fun of Onstage is creating swaps.  It's optional but a great way to meet people.  Design something - usually a card front, and make as many as you want, then swap with others.  This time round I made a scissor charm using the Up and Away Thinlits. 

Twenty-five swaps means you get twenty-five ideas in return and you meet twenty-five people.  I actually have only 22 swaps because I gave away some of mine!

Stampin' Up! is such a generous company and that is infectious.  I gave a gift to everyone in my team who attended.

I dressed up some Mini Pizza Boxes in lorikeet colours because we are the Lorikeet Stampers.

Inside were some lorikeet chocolates and a little dangle with their initial on it.

And one of the lovely gifts I received was this beautiful thank you card from Stampin' Up!  I was privileged to present on Saturday which I loved and this was thank you.

Stampin' Up! has brought so many positives into my life and it was lovely to share that thrill with others on Saturday.

If you want to know more about the joys of being an SU! demonstrator, please contact me.  I have heaps to tell!

More about Onstage in future posts!

Thanks for stopping by.

Team Day Prize Patrols!

Anyone who has been to a Stampin' Up! event knows the fun of Prize patrol.  So when Bec and I joined forces to run ours, we had to have prizes.

One of my favourite things to do, if you didn't already know this, is to PACKAGE!  So it was my job to pretty up the prizes.  In the same way you can't mail a plain envelope, you can't give out a plain prize!

Come and see....

LOTS of goodies from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue that you will LOVE!

I love being part of a team and running team events.  These days are such fun and everyone enjoys coming together, creating and swapping ideas.  If you are interested in getting a great discount on your crafting supplies and being part of the fun, let me know!  I would love you to join us.

Thanks for stopping by!
