It's a lovely Sunday morning and it's time to bid everyone adieu, as I fly out to beautiful Denver, CO for the big Stampin' Up! Convention. I'm attending the Second session, and am very jazzed (otherwise known as "frightened-to-bits") to be presenting on recruiting during the afternoon classes. I'm sure it will all be a wonderful experience and I can't wait to share about it. There are lots of peeps I'm excited to see again so I'm sure my face will be sore from smiling and laughing, and arms tired from all the hugging. What a rough, rough life I lead!

In super happy news this morning (found out at 2am), I learned that my oh-so-talented downline Marika LeMay from Crabtree, QC won the #3 Rising Star award for Canada!!!! WOOOWWWWWOOOOOOOH! I am so stinking thrilled for her... not only did she earn her first cruise in her first full year with SU, but she'll be flown to Arizona & glorious Powell Lake for a Founder's Circle retreat in September. Je suis tellement fiere d'etre une de tes marraines, Marika -- felicitations!!!

I'll be arriving this afternoon and meeting up with Nancy Gauthier & Maryse Morneau, my fellow demonstrators from Quebec who will also be my roomies for the week. My downline Dina is also going to Denver but she's staying at a different hotel and is on a different "track" then us, since I'm on the French one. That's okay -- I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to find each other there! Besides, I bought her a matching Canadian Jester hat -- won't we be stylin'??! Who says Canadians can't have fun?!

Anyhow, my hotel and the Convention centre both have business centres with computers & Internet access, so I expect to be posting often. If you're attending Second session, come and find me - please!

Stay good everyone & happy stamping,
- Caroline
