HOME FROM STAMPIN' PALOOZA!

IMG_5599 IMG_5674 I've just been to Toronto to attend the first ever Stampin' Palooza event  hosted by the one and only Caroline Lebel - and our guest speaker was none other than Linda Hansen of Salt Lake City - both ladies are very talented stampers, successful businesswomen, and a hoot to spend time with!

Honestly, I haven't laughed out loud (for real!) like this in longer than I can remember ... Linda's SPANX story ... OMG, here come the tears again!

IMG_5600 IMG_5669 These are just a few of the pics taken by my demo pal Ruth M - I have to recharge my own camera's battery before I can upload my shots - I wore the poor thing right out!

(TOP LEFT: OUTSIDE CARO'S STUDIO; TOP RIGHT: 185 STAMPERS AT PLAY; BOTTOM LEFT: FRIDAY DINNER @ MURPHY'S LAW PUB; BOTTOM RIGHT: LINDA HANSEN & MYSELF - thanks Ruth!)

By tomorrow I should have photos of all the display boards, etc uploaded to my facebook business page, so tune in then for the link ... right now I'm off to stamp the rest of the night away - I'm so pumped after this weekend's event that there's no way I'll sleep for hours yet.

Hope you're having a great weekend too!

DO IT YOURSELF BUTTONS! OK, this might have been the best demo of the whole weekend at Stampin' Palooza ... well, maybe not THE best; there were SO MANY good ideas shared in Toronto ... but this sure is the best one as far as the FRUGAL STAMPER is concerned! How many times have I wished that I had a button to embellish my card or layout, only to find that none of the buttons in my craft stash will go with the colours in my project? My creativity comes to a screeching halt until I have the time to hunt down a better...

Hi, I'm Donna Henley, and I've been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 2002 and a long-time scrapbooker/amateur photographer before that. I have two grown kids and a SUPER-SUPPORTIVE husband who doesn't mind a little ink under my fingernails & glitter in my hair.
