I did say I was going to show you what that L bag was for didn't I.  

A large gaggle of Stampin' Up ladies is heading off to Sydney next week for the annual Stampin' Up Convention.  We can't wait and are all getting SOOOO excited.  We have an awards night on the Saturday night and I'm thrilled that two of my team achieved Stampin' Up! awards this year and look forward to clapping when their names appear on the stage display.  Well done Ange and Sue!!   More about that (with some pics)  in a couple of weeks. 

The Stampin' Up year runs from April 1st to the end of March.  This year I thought I'd have a few Sales and Team Building Awards of my own for my fabulous Think Ink girls.

Here's the goodies for our Think Ink Awards.  Next year I think we'll have to have our own awards night and make an evening of it! 

The girls picked out some Stampin' Up goodies and I made some award certificates too.  At the moment I'm playing with my Big Shot at any opportunity so made use of my Top Note die and Alphabet Sizzlits to make these little bag toppers too.

I found some cute little notebooks (that looked a bit Baja Breeze-ish, how handy!)  I liked the quote on the front.  " All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today."  And the funkiest little nail file kits that I couldn't resist.  (The notebooks and emery board kits are from the most fabulous gift shop - Red Bird in Keilor.  I love a browse through their beautiful things.)

So big big congrats to Angela, Sue, Kylie and Lydia for their awards and all their hard work and enthusiasm over the past year.   Well done ladies.

Some of the Think Ink ladies do classes and workshops,  and some enjoy being a demonstrator for the lovely demonstrator discount, the demonstrator friendships and other benefits.  Everyone is welcome in our team, whatever their goals are and whatever part Stampin' Up plays in the week.  We'd love to add some more friendly faces to the crew so get in touch with myself, or follow the links at the right in the Think Ink Blog List to find one of my team,  if you'd like more information about becoming a demonstrator. More info here too.

Happy Stamping!

Cheers, Sue

PS  If you are after ink pads, ink refills or cardstock in any of the colours we'll be farewelling at the end of August, I have a strong hunch you might want to do that sooner rather than later.   Colour renovation details here.
