Stamp Camp 2011 - Stamp Happy, Jacque Williams, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Yesterday and today have been full-on fantastic!

Welcome to Stamp Camp 2011 for my team of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators! We are here in Rotorua for a few days. Always stressful leading up, and always a really fun time when we're all together. It's good to be reminded again what a great job I have and what wonderful people are in my life. Everytime we get together, we all have sore abs from laughing to much!

Friday night we had a great class with Rachael Knight. Some of the ladies came in jammies and special hair-do's.

Today was a very full day with back to back classes and loads of food. We were all quite excited to have THE Paula Dobson teach us at the beginning of our day a very cool project using some new sponging techniques with new products:

And it is Sally Williams' birthday this weekend, so we had to have cake in her honour:

Then I taught a class and then we did some business training in the afternoon – it went well and they were all attentive and studious, thank you very much ladies!

We also gave the team a little Creative Challenge . . . Delys gave them three sheets of cardstock and they were to come up with a project in 20 minutes using any supplies they brought with and any SaleABration set. I think we were all super impressed with what we made in literally 20 minutes! Which one is your favourite?

And our last class of the day was with the talented Delys Cram – showing us brayering and a stunning 12×12 layout:

We've all been laughing and smiling even though most of us didn't get much sleep last night:

I'll put up the actual projects in later next week or the week after, too.

Anna Mathieson made me this lovely thank you gift – such an unexpected gift, which are often the very best kind. She put some lovely little bath things inside:

And this is Bron Heslop and myself. Such a pleasure to know a girl like Bron! A laugh a minute this girl! okay not a hot picture of either of us . . .
