Managers Reception!

Well, quite a busy day in Houston for us today!  First, we checked in and picked up our leadership bags!  Then, Carol Payne and I headed over to her rehearsal for her presentation that she was scheduled to do in the afternoon!  It was interesting to see what goes into planning these presentations!  She put hours of work into her talk and projects for this event.  It went off without a hitch and she did a fantastic job!  

We also attended a main session and got to see Shelli Gardner, our Stampin' Up! CEO!  This was her first event since her accident back in the fall!  She looks great and received a standing ovation!  Some exciting knew products were announced, including alcohol markers and a new ink pad!  These will be available soon so stay tuned for some great new products!

The afternoon was full of informative class sessions, including Carol's presentation!

This evening was Manager's reception, a highly anticipated event that has to be earned prior to coming to Leadership!  This year the event was held in downtown Houston at the Aquarium.  I've posted just a few of the pictures from the evening!  It was a great time!  The Aquarium is a very interesting place and Stampin' Up! provided us with more delicious food than we could eat!

So now, I'm off to bed so I can rest up for another exciting day at leadership!

Yep I'm a little tired, but happy!
