Day 2 - Million Dollar Sales Achiever's Trip!

 Day 2 - Million Sales Achiever's Trip...

(this is a long post...we were going from 8am to 9pm!!! )

Loved every minute!!

So on day 2...we woke bright and early...had a lovely breakfast and went on our way to the Stampin Up! Home Office!

We came off the bus in order of receiving our Million Sales Achievement...I was the 57th person in SU history to achieve a Million Dollar in sales...so I was the 3rd one off the bus ...walking through the big double doors...to be greeted by Sara and Shelli with flowers , hugs & congratulations by the Stampin Up Corporate Team and all of the Stampin Up! Employees standing around the Atrium with cowbells and tambourines!!!   WOW...it was very emotional and humbling to be honored in such a way!!

It was AMAZING...this went on until all 20 achiever's came off the bus!!!!

And after we were all greeted and honored...we broke off into groups and toured the Home Office.  

We started with Demonstrator Support!!

We couldn't do our job without this awesome team!!!   Anytime you call into Stampin Up...whether you are a customer or a demonstrator these are the gals and guys you talk to and take care of any problem or question you may have!!

The treats started right away...with Alex from demo support who worked all night making cupcakes for us...they looked and tasted like they were from a fancy bakery...not a young mans kitchen!!  Lol   Delicious!!

Then my friend Sarah and I signed a large board from all the Million Sales Achievers we were the first to start the tradition!!

Onto a little beverage break and to sit and talk with more friends and admire our cards we each received from the Demo Support team!!

signed by the whole team!!

And let me tell you about the drinks....SUPER FUN!!  Soda Bar!!

So many to choose from...all were so good!!

Paul had Pool Party and I had the Tahitian Blue!!

What flavor would you choose????

Next our group was onto the Legacy Room....a beautiful series of rooms to honor Stampin Up!s past , present and goals for the future. 

Our Statement Of The Heart!   All the wisteria was handmade by the artists upstairs!!

The history of Stampin Up!s 35 years...I started Stampin Up! when it was 9 years old....just had my 26th Stampin Up! anniversary!!

Stampin Up!s values!!  And they truly live and work by these values.

We have come a long way....

And looking to the future...

my Office and shelving goals....a girl can dream!!

 the stamping room

and a post card to go!

And for our last stop...was to go where all the magic happens...SHIPPING!

Is your order ready to go???

I got to go where all the fun stuff is...products!!

On the pick line....

I think this is Joann's order!!  LOL ...I dont really know...just a barcode!!

Here I am picking an order....

and packing....

Hope I didn't make any mistakes!!

And to end the day...onto a lovely lunch!!

We had assigned seating to ensure to meet all the achievers!   It was a wonderful way to learn more about each other!

A gift is always waiting for us....

An engraved Million Sales Stampin Block along with a 1,000,000 stamp!

And of course desserts galore!!!

Time for pictures!!!

It was so nice to catch up with Shannon West!!

Time to get back on the bus....

And this was waiting for us in our Hotel room....

Feeling special just goes on and on!!!

Inside was a beautiful Dooney and Bourke Handbag chosen especially for me!!   They know me soooo well!!

Million Sales Achiever's Trip Day 1

Last week I traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah for the Million Sales Retreat.  This was a long time in coming as I actually hit One Million Dollars in Career Sales in Nov. of 2021!  Due to Covid, this trip was delayed! Well, let me just say it was well worth the wait!

   Before we left for Salt lake...we received this adorable key chain and beautiful cross body bag with our itinerary for the week.....love the faux fur handle!!!

next we hopped on a plane and even with a five hour layover we were excited to land and start the fun!!

We arrived at the Grand America Hotel around 3:30 pm...checked in and check out this hotel....

Everything about this hotel is grand....the day we left...the Boston Celtics checked in!!  that is how nice it was!!

We got to our room ...and found  this lovely welcome basket from Sara and Shelli!

With a warm welcome note...handstamped of course!

with toffee popcorn...mmm.... I am snacking on it as I write this!!!

Granola and chocolate covered pretzels...

Marmarlade...yum...

and hand made soap!   All made from women owned companies!!!

Along with that was a bag filled with Million Dollar Retreat labeled water!!

And the room was lovely and comfy!

And the bathrooms..... three rooms!!

Lets just say I have new bathroom remodeling goals ...LOL   I wish!!

And here is the view from our window....

Stunning!!

 

Next we loaded a coach bus ...and were on our way to the Red Iguana Mexican Restaurant.  

Delicious food and wonderful company...catching up with old friends and meeting new friends too!!

It was a wonderful Day 1!!   

Stay tuned for Day 2!!
