Bermuda Cruise - Swaps, samples, new sets

Stampin' Up! displayed and demonstrated some new stamp sets, DSP and cool ideas on the cruise.. FUN new ideas coming our way in the new catalog!! 

New set used on jeans with craft paint.. REALLY cute!

They said that there would be a punch to make this scallop edge.... can you say YAHOO??!!!?? 

Thanks for the photo, Sherrie! :)

I hosted the 6x6 swap so that cruisers could go home and fill a 6x6 brag book with cruise photos.. I asked everyone who swapped to donate one set of their pages to Stampin' Up! and I took photos of them before giving them to the Hospitality Desk.  You can view ALL THE 6x6 samples in my Photo Album HERE. 

Bermuda Cruise - our cabin, gifts from SU! and the NEW IN COLORS!

Here are some photos of our cabin (Superior Verandah Suite) and some of the gifts SU! gave us each night.  I must not have photographed every gift, because I'm missing a few... but this gives you an idea of how Stampin' Up! loves to spoil us on the cruise!

The first gift is an SU! logo blanket which was on our bed (rolled up between red pillows) to keep us warm on deck as we sailed past the Statue of Liberty when we departed NYC:

CUTEST orange tote/purse filled with our Make & Take supplies WITH A NEW SET!

Adorable personalized water bottle with a pack Rub-ons inside... we filled our bottle with pink sand from the beach! :)

Fruit basket with a note that we'll receive the cruise DVD free!

There were a few more gifts... cute BIG tote bag, a calendar, a huge cello filled with snacks... they really treat us well!

AND.. are you ready for this????? HERE are the NEW IN COLORS that will be in the catalog this August!  Aren't they fun and peppy?!?

I hope you enjoy some photos from our cruise to Bermuda last week... I will be sharing a few each day.

We docked at King's Wharf Naval Dockyard in Bermuda and stayed docked there the entire week. On the first day, we just walked around this area and looked in shops and took TONS of pix.   

View from our Balcony as we docked:

Left: Commissioners house (museum now)

Right: new dock they are building for larger ships.

hmmmmmmmmm how did Jason's name get on the dock?  We HAVE been here before.. but I don't think he did this. :)

Photos from the Dockyard Glassworks:

he was making glass fishies

I thought this was hysterical.. they painted his legs on the wall in front of where he sits, so it looks like he's underwater!  LOL

I just love all the great photo opps everywhere I turned! 

That's all for now... I'll be posting every chance I get in the coming week. 

Hello from NYC!

Wow... WHAT A WEEK!  We just arrived  back in NYC this morning from our cruise to Bermuda and we had a FABULOUS TIME!!  We have a few hours before our wagon train - oh I mean flight - back to California, so I thought I'd share a few pix from our wonderful FREE Stampin' Up! cruise to Bermuda!  Thank You, Stampin' Up!!

I think this was Elbow Beach (gotta check my map when we get home)

King's Wharf Dockyard where we were docked for 4 days:

Hope you are having a great weekend.. watch for more photos soon from our Bermuda Adventures!

Thanks to all of you who said hi on the ship and who stopped to say Happy Birthday to Jason!  It was so fun that you all recognized him!

until later..
