Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip 2012 Disney Day 1

Miska Muska Mickey Mouse –We are here to see Mickey Mouse and spend Six days at the amazing Boardwalk Resort.

We have and important assignments while here – Find Mickey Mouse and have our picture taken with him per 3 year old granddaughter’s request!

A great treat was not having to  have to claim our luggage at the airport, just hopped on the Disney Express and it delivered us to the resort; our luggage joined us a few hours later in our room. 

And the room – well the entire resort is amazing!   The weather is warm some may even describe it as “hot”, I will love and treasure every minute of it.  Kevin and Deb who arrived a few days ahead of us greeted us and were wearing a new shade of pink, since we saw them last in San Antonio.  Sunscreen will be applied each morning before we leave the room!!!

Our room is on the first level and facing an amazing view of the quiet pool.

Stampin' Up! Disney Incentive Trip travel documents have arrived!

Don’t ch-ya know  I have been waiting all day for these to arrive…

It all started this morning when the FedEx truck came with a package around 10AM – I was so excited (Stampin’ Up! use to send the travel documents by FedEX)  well I got to the door to see a huge box, not my  Disney Travel Documents, but the iron I just ordered Sunday night, which normally, I would be ecstatic with the speedy shipping!   Then just after 12:00 noon the FedEX Express Truck came  “YIKES THEY ARE HERE!”  No! Just two packages our son had delivered to us overnight (he lives next door and is not home during the day so he often has things shipped to us).

The the Big Brown Truck backed into the drive around 3:30, thank heavens the UPS man arrived 3 hours sooner than his usual time.  I wanted to run out hug him, but I am sure it would have caused a scene in the neighborhood.  I cannot stand this much excitement!  It is almost worse than the annual anticipation as a kid waiting for Christmas. It isn’t like Ed McMahon is coming with a million dollar check, but then again it is an all expense paid vacation for two to the Boardwalk Resort at Disney!

Each year the documents are different and this year lots of handy work went into them which makes them very unique.

  

I need to start my swaps... haven’t a clue what to make (I should maybe wait until Sunday, the Stampin’ Up! retirement list will come out.  eeeeeeek I 'm so excited I just can't wait!  I spent one afternoon at Epcot for the Stampin’ Up! Manager’s reception many years ago.  Otherwise neither Tom or I have been to Disney World.  It was hard not to take our Granddaughters, but then we figured we had to wait until we were almost 60 to go, so they can wait too!  This is always a special time for Tom and I and our Stampin’ Up! friends.  Wish you could hear me squealing!

Okay now I better get busy and finish planning my next video for my blog, cut cardstock for my card buffet on Saturday and mail out a card or two. 

 

Springtime Stampin' Up! Workshops

Always love any workshops but springtime is especially fun - everyone excited to see the snow gone and ready for fun bright colors and lots of cards with flowers.   Last week I had a wonderful surprise when I arrived at Tammi Von Wahlde's for a workshop, she presented me with these beautiful Tulips to take home and enjoy. But that wasn't the only gift I received...a new demonstrator to my team.  Tammi's friends talked her into joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator so they could get together on a more regular basis and stamp together.

Stampingly,

Patsy Waggoner

 

First Stamping Video...

I am so excited to share with you my first stamping video.  I have wanted to do video's to share with my customers as well as demonstrators on my team for a very long time.  I am a "show me person" if I see it I can usually do it.   This video will share with you my favorite stamping "Two-Step".
