"Dream Big" -- that was the theme last year at our annual Convention.

I went to Denver last July with thousands of other crazy demonstrators and had one of the BEST week's of my life there! Here's one of my favourite photos from last year...that's me in the middle in the blue dress on Awards Night surrounded by other great Canadian friends.


Unfortunately I'm not there this week to help celebrate Stampin' Up!'s 20th Anniversary Convention, but my friend/downline Dina is so I'm stalking her blog as she shares pictures and information with us. She just called me on my toll-free # about 15 minutes ago to give the scoop on new sets, punches, etc! She was also sweet enough to take with her a massive BOXLOAD of swaps to swap out for me, so that I'll have loads of lovely samples to share with you all at my big Open House event on the 9th. Yipppeee!

Anyhoo, the "Dream Big" idea really resonated with me, so I ordered the Lowercase Classic Alphabet Decor Element when it came out, and added my very own "Dream Big" reminder right over my desk so I can see it 8 hours a day and stay motivated.

BTW, if you are interested in seeing pictures from Convention last year, I have them all in my Webshots galleries and you're more than welcome to check them out.








Last but not least, let me share with you a little music for inspiration. "Dream Big" by Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband - the band that played on Awards Night. I get goosebumps whenever I listen to this... enjoy!

"And when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
And it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help you carry on,
But when the troubles come your way.

(Chorus)
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big. "
