Photos from OnStage 2018

I’m flying home today after an amazing week in Orlando, FL ~ It was a fun and busy Stampin’ Up! OnStage Convention and a super fun week with these ladies and about 6,000 other stamping enthusiasts!

It was Stampin’ Up’s 30th Anniversary and they put on quite a party for Demonstrators from all over the world. Here I am with Jill, Ramsey, Deb, Mary Anne, and Julie.

We started our week together early by making a drive to a quaint little town called Eustis and had lunch in a local restaurant. Anybody recognize our “Top Dog,” Susan Itell? We represented Kentucky, Maryland, California, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. This stamping habit of mine has brought me together with some amazing, talented women from all over the country! These friendships are definitely my favorite part of being a demonstrator.

We lost Susan in the Main Stage Convention Room for awhile, but gained Michelle from Florida.

There were plenty of staged photo opportunities!

And here was my 5 seconds of fame! Lol! Those of us who celebrated 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, up to 30 years with Stampin’ Up! were invited to come up to the stage and announce our names and home states, wave to the crowds, get our picture taken, and receive a congratulations from the SU staff. This is my 5th year anniversary. Do you suppose I’ll make it to the 10th? Time will tell!

When I get home, I’ll photograph some of the swaps I received and a few more pictures of new products that we received for attending the convention. My grandson, who attended ComicCon this year, told me, “Have fun at Stampin’Con, Grandma!” Well, I definitely had fun at “Stampin’Con”, and look forward to our next chance to get together with Pals!
