Day 4- Million Sales Achiever's Trip

Well our final day...started out with breakfast and swapping Fun Fold Cards with our fellow Achiever's!!  Always one of the best parts of gathering with other demos!!

Last weeks Water City Wednesday's Facebook Live we took a look at all the swaps...Click Here to see all the super fun swaps!!

Next we all got to choose what we wanted to do for a FUN DAY activity.   Some went Shopping...some went to a Cooking Class and some went to a Glass Blowing Class....Paul and I wanted to do something we have never done...so Glass Blowing it was!

After a quick drive up to Park City...here we are at Red Flower Studio.   The sticks are heating up!

My turn...the poor guy had his hands full with me...but they were super safe and cautious...and oh so patient!!

Paul did much better...they had a chill chat all while they were creating!!

And this little guy kept an eye on all of us!

So we each got to choose our color we wanted to make...I chose seafoam...Paul chose red.........and you then blow the glass into this ornament shape...

And then suck the air in and it becomes this bowl!!!   (*there is a bit more to it than that but those are the basics!)   Super cool!  The bowls had to be chilled and set ...so they are shipping our creations to us...can't wait to get them!!

We then quick drove back to SLC and hopped on another bus for a delicious farewell 5 course meal.   

Good company...good food ...what a wonderful way to end a wonderful week.

Day 3 - Million Sales Achievers' Trip

 So Day 3 was a SUPER full day...going from 9am to 5pm!!   But there is not too much I can share about today.   The guests stayed back and had a free day...while the achiever went back to the Home Office and really got to go behind the scenes.  What an honor!!

First off we broke into groups again and our group got to go back to the legacy room and stamp with Sara and Shelli!!

We also got to discuss any concerns or things we would like to see happen in the future with Sara and Shelli....awesome ideas were flowing...looking forward to seeing some implemented in the future!!

There were make n takes from the NEW Catalog!!!  Super cute...but I cant show you yet...

 Shelli Shared her stash of Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Bears...who knew there was such a thing...but they were yummy!

And everywhere we went was fancy Utah Chocolates and water...they have great candy in Utah!

Next it was time for more pictures...but the NEW Catalog was just sitting there....I had to cover it up quick!!!  LOL!!!

Now we are ok!!

Onto the next stops...but first a cute little sign in the elevator!!  An invite for all SU employees for an Appreciation Lunch!! 

And the Catalog Room...top secret!!

Next visiting Concept Art and Product Strategy....got a chance to see lots of  Brand New Products coming our way for new Mini Catalogs and Main Catalogs and Online Exclusives!!!   OMG...so many Awesome things....I cannot wait!!   But I cant show the pictures...just yet!!   It was sooo much fun!!

But I did get a photo with one of my favorite and talented gals behind the scenes...Jen Campbell 

After a wonderful and full day...back to the hotel...only to come back to more gifts....

A beautiful matching Dooney wallet...matching my handbag ...

And this super special necklace commemorating the day I started with Stampin Up! ...March 19th 1997 to the day I sold my Million... November 2021.

Next we picked up our guests and went to a Cheese and Chocolate Tasting Experience.  Who knew there was such a thing...but try it sometime...eat cheese and chocolate at the same time...delicious!!

Very informative and entertaining!!

Followed by a yummy Italian Dinner ...with good company.... Karen and Keith Barber...wish I would have gotten a picture.  

One more day to go...see you tomorrow!!

Stay tuned for Day 4!

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!!
