One of My Favorite Leadership Memories


We are all waiting in line for the Buses to come and pick us up for Manager's reception with our spiffy Cowgirl Hats on which by the way had about a yard of Striped 1 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon and 6-8 vintage brads wrapped around it branding it with Stampin' Up!'s unique touch when I spyed one my Stampin' Up! hero's Kimberly Van Dipen (www.stampinbythesea.com) who is also the #1 demonstrator in the U.S. So as am acting like a teenager seeing a rock star my upline Lisa hollars "Kimberly you have a fan "
and then I was blessed to get a picture with her. I love her blog and creativity but most of all she inspires me to keep moving forward no matter what challenges her business encounters.
She has been a demo for 7 years and during that time moved 5 times as a military wife and had to restart her business and still remained in the top demo's in the company. That is my definition of perseverance and alot of recruiting!
She was very down to earth and sweet to take time to get a picture with a sister demo
She also did a WOW presentation on Friday night that was awesome. I had to come home and try it out. I love the way it turned out, I will post it in a later post.

I love this project she demonstrated so easy! But yet such a big WOW! She is the queen of vintage. Which is my favorites style these days.
This is the top of an adorable box she decorated.

Here is a view of the front

This was a scrapbook page on her display board I thought captured her personality and her creativity all wrapped into one.
If you have not had a chance to attend a Stampin' Up! event before, it is an amazing experience.
If you would like to experience the energy and the greatest group of passionate stampers and crafters in the nation consider becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and you to can join the fun!
