Good Morning to all…..WOWZERS – I am one tired but energized stamper! I am having a fabulous time and getting my "tank" full of….
Inspiration + Positiveness + Friendships + and sooo much more =
ONE HAPPY SUSAN
but I feel like this!
Before I show you some of the GREAT Card swaps I want to share with you some EXCITING over the top news of something NEW that Stampin' Up! is coming out with !
Trying to always play "by the rules" I can not show you actual pictures of the product but I can share with you this…
To me…this product is going to be super-duper….over-the-top exciting for many! It is a NEW product called Blendabilities – and these are Alcohol Based Markers!
You all know that I LOVE to watercolor and I think that this new product is going to be a great "Bridge" for those of you that are fearful f water-coloring but want a little something more than just the markers!
This was a BIG WOOT-WOOT for me and I could hardly wait to go to the booth and play with them in my own 2 paws! LOVE THEM!
We will still be carrying all of the WONDERFUL markers we have…and these will be available in packs of 3 for $11.95 and the BEST news is…..they will be available sometime in the 1st Quarter!!!!
Perfect timing with Sale-a-bration around the corner!
Last night we had a HUGE stampin' party and below are some of the goodies we had at our table…it was soooo much fun and as we walked into the room, the Stampin' Up! wonderful staff was cheering all of us as we walked in….WOW – what a great group of people!
Here is a picture of my dear friend and roommate last year, Deb Simonis….this year she brought her husband so we cannot have our late night chats…but it is wonderful to be together!
Several of the PALS got there early to get tables near each other so we could be together and her is a picture of some of the PALS – we have been having a ball!!!!
Let's get to the Card Swap pictures….these are just some that I have received ….I am showing you ones that are keeping in the theme of this week….."Love is in the Air"
I am going to roll right through them as I really want to get my Beauty Rest – another big day ahead tomorrow! Hugs to all of you and many thanks for the sweet emails that many of you have sent to me hoping that I am having fun!
Have fun with this inspiration!
I forgot to mention this…by the time I returned to the hotel it was dark…..and I needed to snap these pictures for you….well to let you know how much I appreciate your dedication to me…I took these in the BATHTUB!!!! The lighting was the best!!! Thank goodness it was big and I just propped them up and snapped away!
You all would be laughing if you could have seen me…it felt like an episode from I Love Lucy!!! I am still laughing about it!!!
Until tomorrow……
Stampin' hugs!
Susan, I so wish I was with you. The Pals are the best and I know how tired you are I felt the same way at convention last year. The time zone change didn’t help either. These cards are amazing. Enjoy every minute and thanks for sharing LIVE from Houston!
GREAT CARDS….have fun.
Enjoying your swap cards. Wish if was there with all you demonstrators. Looks like so much fun! You all earn to have a nice convention as you do so much for us stampers.
I can’t imagine how much fun you’re having!! The swaps are wonderful!! As I looked at them I was wondering where you had photographed them – I guessed it was in the corner of the bathroom counter – but the bathtub is SO much funnier!! Love it !! You are truly dedicated to your readers – THANK YOU!!
Great bath tub pics! You are very resourceful. Love the cards, so nice! 🙂
Great cards and great photos. Thanks for taking the time to stop your fun and be kind enough to share them with us. Enjoy today and have safe trip home.

LOL, oh Susan that is so funny, what lengths you will go to get a picture:). But they turned out great, I’ll have to remember that trick.
Bathtub pics are the best!! Great cards. I know you are having the time of your life. Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you for sharing what shall now be called The Bathtub Series! I love seeing all the creativity. I find it very inspiring. It makes me want to turn around and play. Blendabilities, eh? Hmmmmm…. intriguing.
Thanks for sharing pics and info from Leadership with us! And the card swaps are awesome, love some new inspiration!!
Oh my gosh! Love, Love, Love!!!! Lucy, you got some explaining to do. LOL
What fun and great memories! The cards are great!
Every card pictured is beautiful! Thanks for sharing them. You and your SU friends do such wonderful things with all the SU products. Love the setting … I never would have guessed! Have a wonderful time at Leadership.
Rub a-dub, dub, fun cards in a tub! These are amazing! What great swap cards. I wonder if Tina Moore has a tutorial on that card? So glad you are having a great time. Lets see some more Pals photos. I love seeing the faces of our blogging friends in “real life” better than the little photo on a blog.
These cards are all awesome SUsan. Thanks so much for taking the time to share them with us!
Very clever and creative idea to use the tub as your back drop. It’s really quite nice! Love all the cards. I see some great CASE-worthy layouts there!
Dittos right back to you! The PALS have been having fun and Brian has been keeping us on our toes!!! NEXT YEAR my friend…
You are so sweet…..I truly wish EVERYONE was here….we would have a ball!!!
Great swaps….I will share more in the coming days! Heck – that bathtub works great!
Oh Nancy….wish you were here – we would be laughing up a storm together…..
It will be nice to have a “down evening” but I am going to go meet with another PALS to get a lesson on MDS….soooo much talent out there!
Oh Frenchie….I know you are with us in spirit!!!!Hugs…xoxox
And if you ever do that….you will always think of me…..still laughing!
You are going to LOVE the Blendabilities…..there are going to be great!!!
Now my friend….if it were you and I together in this room, we would have kept the hotel up all night! I actually said to myself – wonder what Jeanie would do….YEP = you would have done the same thing…..great lighting!
Isn’t it great! Trust me….I will have it all figured out once I get home and do a post this week….I loved it!
Thanks for sharing. What fun.
Susan, You are having a wonderful time. You so deserve this time. You give all of us so much inspiration
every day. I love all the swaps. The pictures are great. I love the fact that you are taking the bath tub pictures. I think that is so funny. That sounds like something my girl friends and I would be doing. Have fun and come home rested and willing to share some more great ideas . Please send some more Pals pictures. Thanks for Sharing. Hugs, Ellen Hinds
Susan the first “no name” card is from me. Hope you have arrived safely home from Leadership. I am so glad that we got to spend some time together !
