I am here in St. George Utah at the Stampin' Up! Founder's Circle retreat - this is a wonderful reward from Stampin' Up! for the top achievers in the company.
I know you are anxious to see what we did today... so here are some photos for you ! :)
After landing in Vegas, and taking a nice 2 hour shuttle ride to St. George, we were greeted by the wonderful Stampin' UP! staff and these FABULOUS decor elements on the windows!
I visited with friends for a couple hours before it was time for dinner - the room was decorated just so elegantly!! Yes, I know my camera was on the wrong setting.. sorry this one is blurry....
The settings and gifts were so lovely:
It's always FABULOUS to chat with friends... the fabulous Kimberly Van Diepen and Stella MacKay
and dinner.... OH MY.... FABULOUS fruit salad, turkey dinner and to DIE FOR chocolate cake!
and back in my room... a fabulous free stamp set and In Color Markers and 3 rolls of In Color ribbon!
Tune in for more tomorrow... I get to take the My Digital Studio Certification class tomorrow and then spend the afternoon doing Make & Takes and playing with MDS on my laptop! :) whooohooo!
Oh Patty these pictures are so fantstic!
And the dinner is WOW, and your goodies are so nice....
Enjoy the time and have fun....
hugs Melanie

Congrats on your achieving Founder's Circle again! I very much enjoy your blog. Those pics of food to die for are making me hungry! Sure hope your laptop has lots of RAM, and I mean lots, to run MDS. I was able to install the software but can't run it and I have 1GB of memory. Maybe they'll give you some tips to share.

Patty, your photos of Founder's Circle are wonderful. I look forward to more. When you get certified with MDS, is there training to make your own backgrounds for blogs?
