Warning.. .long post! 🙂 I have so many fun things to share with you and the official Wonderful News that I reached my $2 Million personal sales milestone with Stampin’ Up! on Valentine’s Day!!!
I was away at a 4 day stamping retreat last weekend, and while I was there, on Valentine’s Day, the order came through to push me over the $2million mark in personal career sales!! I am the 6th Stampin’ UP! demonstrator in the 30+ year history of the company to achieve this milestone!!! Who knew nearly 25 years ago when I signed up to be a demonstrator that this would be where that path lead!! Wow!! I am feeling so excited, humbled, amazed, blessed and so grateful for Stampin’ Up! and what is has meant to our family!!
So going back to that day, 2-14-20, I was spending the weekend at a stamping retreat with 65+ of my Stampin’ Up! friends, and everyone cheered when I reached the milestone! I drove to Southern California for the retreat with Kurstan and Leah from my Luv 2 Stamp group downline. The flowers above were from Amy (our retreat hostess) and the card was created by Rosie and signed by nearly everyone there!!
Right after the official order came in, I called my husband and son to tell them!! Then Sara called to congratulate me, then Kurstan said, do you want to take a walk? I was mystified but agreed… in her hotel room she had this gorgeous Kate Spade purse for me… so perfect with the red heart… you know.. Valentine’s day, Luv 2 Stamp, Heart Logo… 🙂 AND a gorgeous card!!
As we got home from the retreat, we were greeted by this banner on the garage door, and balloons inside at my desk.. these were from my sweet husband and son!
Then the celebrations continued… on Wednesday, Cindee, Laurie and Lettie all surprised me (it was a huge surprise) with lunch, balloons, cake and the most amazing gift box full of cards, well wishes and a very generous gift certificate to Brighton from my Luv 2 Stamp group team of demonstrators!!!! I was pretty speechless but thoroughly enjoyed my celebration with them!!!
I don’t have enough words to describe how beautiful this box is!! Cindee created all of the paper flowers for the top of the box!! You can see her instructions HERE! The box was filled with cards, a gift card, and well wishes from my Luv 2 Stamp Group!!
THEN… there are all the flowers… You know how much I love flowers… so let me share these gorgeous flowers with you!! They are from Stella, Amy, Stampin’ Up! and the 4th one is still a mystery.. I don’t know who it’s from. I even called the florist, but I still don’t know… so thank you to whomever you are! UPDATE: 4th bouquet is from my upline Sandy and her upline Margaret.. thank you!!
On Thursday, a gorgeous card and roses arrived from Stampin’ UP!
Look at all the detail on this amazing Bird Ballad card!! Oh my goodness!! I’m just speechless at how beautiful it is!!
After sliding off the belly band, this card was inside, again.. the detail is AMAZING!!!
It opened up there is a beautiful message from Shelli and Sara. (Sorry, I covered it… just need to treasure this message from them). There is also a small envelope inside with 2 tags and more sweet messages!!
So, now, to say THANK YOU x 2 million to all of my faithful customers over the past 24-3/4 years who have placed countless orders for stamps, ink, paper and accessories, and for all of your kind comments, emails, calls and cards!! I am just so amazed and excited and blessed!! Thank you!!
