Stampin' Up! Leadership 2013 Recap


This was my first Leadership and it just happened to be in Orlando, FL.  What a great break from our cold, snowy weather in Pittsburgh.  If you want to read about my family vacation we made of it then click here.

Leadership started Thursday afternoon.  Once I got my badge and packet, which included a free stamp set and a coupon to order a free stamp set, I walked around the hall to see all of the samples and information there was.  I then went to a first timers meet and greet where we played a Bingo game and won a container of embellishments.  The first day was sort of just a check-in day so I took lots of pictures of the different samples on display.

Checking out the samples
Friday started with a general session where Shelli, the owner and CEO, started it off by speaking about 25 years of business.  Her daughter, Sara Douglass, came on to stage next for a stamping demonstration and to show the new man's kit called Dude, You're Welcome.  Then another home office worker, Bonnie Thurber, unveiled another new product line called Paper Pumpkin.  This is one of the most things that I'm excited about and hoping it helps get some new customers.  It ended with all of us getting the Try it Kit and Welcome Kit for the Paper Pumpkin.

We broke in to classes and the one I took was about Social media.  It gave me some good tips for blogging, Facebook and YouTube.  I'm hoping it inspires me to start making videos.  After lunch there were mini 20 minute classes about all different topics.  I learned so much and have some great ideas to help grow my business.

We ended Friday with a pajama party general session with stamping demonstrations from more home office employees.  We learned the locations for this years upcoming Regional events.  I'm already planning to get to the Baltimore regional on April 13th.  Finally, we all received DSP and a stamp free!  It was a successful but long first day.

Saturday started with another general session.  We celebrated by having demonstrators walk on stage for their latest promotion of that year.  I got to walk with other demonstrators that promoted to Supervisor this year.  It was so cool and I hope to be able to do that again and again and again!  Shelli Gardner came out to demonstrate more products from the Spring catalog.  Finally, Scott Nielsen revealed Best of 25 years Stamp Set promotion and gave us all silver glimmer paper and some embellishments.

I attended a class about meeting new people to grow my business.  After lunch I attended a class about helping my downline through their first year and am most excited about implementing these ideas.  Leadership ended with a final general session with more demonstrations and inspirations.  Check out what we did after one of the talks.


The day ended with Shelli coming out one final time to wrap it up and give away one final stamp set to all attendees.  It was such an amazing experience that I will never forget.  I am so glad that I was able to go and hope to go back to many more in the future.

Our Family Vacation in Orlando

This was my first Leadership and it just happened to be the first time in Orlando, FL too.  My husband and I took advantage and made it a week down there as a family.  We flew in Sunday, January 6th and had 3 days to run to different parks together.  Monday we went to Legoland and the boys had a blast.

Here they are with Batman and Robin

Tuesday we went to Disney Hollywood Studios and got to meet Jake from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates."  That is one of their favorite shows on Disney Junior.  They were Jake and Cubby for Halloween this past year too. 
 
Wednesday we went to Magic Kingdom and got to meet even more characters and ride a few of the rides that they were big enough to ride.  I loved seeing their faces when they meet the characters.  Here they are chasing and popping bubbles at the Magic Kingdom.
 

 
Thursday night we went back to the Magic Kingdom to see the park at night and to watch the fireworks.  The boys really did love our time at the parks and it was a great week with beautiful weather.  I  attended Stampin' Up! Leadership Thursday through Saturday that you can read about tomorrow.  We flew back to Pittsburgh Sunday morning.  It was a week that we will never forget and I'm glad we took advantage of our opportunity!

Leadership 2013

I have been in Orlando, FL since Sunday on a mini vacation with my family until today. Today started Stampin' Up's leadership event. This is my first time attending and its in sunny Florida!!

Just want to write a quick recap of my favorites from today. Received a free stamp set in my welcome kit along with a chance to order a free stamp set with my next demonstrator order. There was lots of nice displays with new product and product shares. I enjoyed new product being demonstrated as well and have lots of ideas for upcoming events. My last favorite is receiving more free product when I attended the first timers meeting. So far it has been a great first day and look forward to tomorrow.

I am off to Magic Kingdom with the family tonight  but want to leave you with some pictures from today.
