Day 4- Founders Circle

Yesterday I spent my day at the hotel in the Hospitality Room figuring out upcoming October workshop projects, my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack cards & my Stamp 'Til You Cramp projects!

Now to be a busy bee stamping when I get home to get them created!

For those of you joining me in October to stamp, you won't be disappointed!

I have some super cute & fun projects to share with you!

WAHOOO!!!!

Every day we got to play PLINKO to win prizes.

I won a 8x8 photo album & Cherry Cobbler Tulle yesterday.

Here are some pictures of our Hospitality room at the hotel.

Here we are working on projects.

 Me, Dana, Cherie & Diane.

 Cherie & I met at my first Founders several  years ago.

We connected this year at the airport & road the shuttle to the hotel together.

Then on Friday we were bus partners again.

Last night most of us went to the Tuacahn Amphitheatre to see the product of 'Hairspray'.

It was really good!!  So funny!

It is a beautiful outdoor theater in the valley surrounded by red mountains.

 Check out the waterfall coming down between the steps.

Here is me & Dana.

 A photo of the stage before the play started.

 Brenda, Sandy, Sharon, Kay, me & Dana.

We are waiting for the play to begin.

Me & Rolanda.

She is a hoot!!  I had lots of laughs with this girl this week!

 Pam Morgan (SU! employee), Dana & me.

We got back to our hotel & this is our pillow gift that was laying on my bed.

It is a beautiful silver bracelet with a Founder 2012 charm.

Very neat!  

Such a nice gift from SU! to help remember this amazing week.

 

Honey- I'm headed home to Iowa.  Can't to see you tonight!!

Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

Ornament Keepsakes

Good morning!

Have you noticed this card shown in the Holiday Catalog on pg. 3?  I just love this Christmas stamp set & the coordinating Holiday Ornaments framelits that go with it.  The stamp set & the framelits can be purchased separately or together as a bundle.  When you buy the bundle you save money.  

'Ornament Keepsakes' & 'Joyous Celebrations'

cs: Sahara Sand, River Rock, Certainly Celery & Very Vanilla

ink:  Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, River Rock  

supplies: Big Shot, Holiday Ornaments framelits, white twine, dimensionals

 I really like this stamp set & love the fact that the framelits go with it!!

Today I am going to be at the hotel working on my make & takes.
Then this evening several of us are going to the Tuacahn Amptitheater & are going to see the production of HAIRSPRAY!
Today is our last day here.
I head to the airport at 7 am tomorrow to come home.

Day 3- Founders Circle

Here are some photos of Day #3 at Founders.

What a fun & busy day!!

We all got on a bus early yesterday morning & headed to Knab, Utah to our 
SU! Home Headquarters.
This is where all of our rubber stamps are made.
What an exciting place to go visit.

We were warmly greeted by the employees.
They all had made the own name tags-
which was so cool to see their crafting talents!
They gave us such a heart felt welcome.
They are awesome people that work so hard for us.

I got my picture taken by the big rock at the entrance.

Here is a photo of Shelli & me in the upstairs apartment.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch with the employees.
Grilled burgers, chicken & hot dogs, potatoe salad, cole slaw, chips, pop/water & cookies.

Here is a photo of the facility as we were pulling out the drive on the bus. 

Off we go!
From here we are now headed to Glen Canyon to go rafting down the river!

When we got to the dam we had to go through security & wear hard hats.

Look at this big dam.

Here we are loading into the rafts.

 Here is Georgia, Robin, me, Mary, Dawn & Kelly.

Isn't the view just beautiful!

We had one stop along the way to go to the bathroom.
Here we are walking up the trail.
Look at the Indian drawings on the mountains.

Check out the bathrooms.

Some more beautiful mountains.

This is Jennifer our raft driver & tour guide for the afternoon.
She was alot of fun & very knowledgeable.

These are sand duns.
They are huge!
They so remind me of a big glacier that we saw when we were in Alaska last year.  

We got off the rafts, got a sack lunch & back on the bus & headed back to our hotel. 


Aren't the sacks that our lunches in adorable!

It was a fabulous day.!
And I was exhausted.

As I was walking to my room I saw Meg down the hall & had to take this photo of her.
She was looking for her room key.
And she found it!  
Isn't this a cute picture!

Have a great day!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!
