First of all, apologies go out to my Stampers Club gals this evening. Thanks for being so understanding that I was a wee bit of a basketcase, waiting for this evening's results from Convention!

Stampin' Up!'s Awards Night was tonight and the 2 hour time difference between MT and ET felt soooo long of a wait. Brent came down to the studio to keep me company -- he's the best (and all mine!).

Anyhow, the news finally came in and I'm beyond ecstatic to announce that, for the second year in a row, I placed as the #5 in the "Demonstrator of the Year" category, but as a fabulous bonus I also was awarded the #2 Leadership award for the top Senior Associates in my 1rst level category!

That's my GALS who earned that second award, let me tell you -- MWAAHHHHHH! big big smooches to those 17 fabulous women who promoted last year!!!

Not only are there cash awards and mementos to be received, but the best news of all is inclusion in the 2009 Founders Circle -- and an all-expenses paid trip in September to St. George, UT for fun, friendship and stamping! This will be my 4th FC trip and I couldn't possibly be any happier in how things worked out.

I must say, these awards are the culmination of not just a years worth of hard work, but some fabulous support from you guys - my wonderful customers and Canadians, INK! team members! I am very blessed to be your demonstrator and/or upline and I hope I made you proud :)

Here 's a picture from last year, all the US and Canadian Founders Circle members together in St George, Utah!

Thanks again for ALL you do and help bring to my life -- love you all lots!

Caroline
