Whooohooo!! Today is the Big Day .. I'm travelling to Utah (via Vegas) to attend the Stampin' Up! Founder's Circle retreat!! Founder's Circle is for the top 100 demonstrators in Stampin' Up! plus the top 10 in several categories (US and Canada). I was #18 in the company last year, and #8 in one of the top 10 categories, so I get to attend this fabulous event again!!
I will be posting all week from St. George, Utah, with updates on what we do, what we stamp, what we eat (of course!) and of course, the wonderful gifts Stampin' Up! showers us with!!
One fun thing we do is to swap cards.. all 125 of us!!

Hi Patty,
I, too, earned Founder’s Circle but had to make the difficult decision not to attend. I am a second grade teacher in a new school and going didn’t feel like the right thing to do for the kids and the school. So, I made the decision to pass up FC. I am looking forward to hearing what SU is treating you to. 🙂
I love your blog and all the pics from founders’circle….It keeps those of us who dream of making it there, the dreams a little more “in color”
I may have to print some and post them for daily motivation ….
