I'm here

Today is our third and final day at Leadership 2015.

It has been a wonderful opportunity to attend this event and I've have met lots of lovely people, many of whom I follow in the blogging world. Others I will be adding to my bookmarks.

Here's some of the highlights so far.


Cayleigh and I with Brian King - what you don't realise is that he is well over 6 ft tall (we are both only just over 5 ft)

I love taking part in the Service Project - this time we were putting kits together for people at the Russell Home here in Florida

Build a Bouquet inspiration board - all made by demo's but I've no idea who (sorry)

The Irresistibly Yours Inspiration Board, again all made by demos but I don't know who

There are over 1100 people attending this event and things get a little manic at times when we are all moving around. I also have to admit I've been a little star struck and have not managed to get many photos of me with people but those I have met have been truly wonderful.

Main Stage just before last night's events

Only part of the auditorium - it's huge!


I hope you have enjoyed seeing the few snippets of what's going on in this post. I've yet to take photos of all the wonderful swaps that I've received and have decided to leave that until I get home as the lighting in the hotel room is not the best.









And the Winner is...


Congratulations goes to

Hilary Cohen from Esher

Hilary has won the Prize Draw from the recent Creative Crafts Show that was at Sandown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I will be taking all the goodies to Hilary once I get back from my trip to Florida. Florida? I hear you ask. Yep, I am really excited to be going to a Stampin' Up! Leadership event. This event is normally only open to US and Canadian demonstrators but this year demonstrators from Europe, Australia and New Zealand are also able to attend.

I have yet to start my swaps (photos will be posted later this week) so in the meantime here are some photos of the fabulous projects that were on the stand at Sandown.


These cards (above and the next two photos below) were made by a Stampin' Stars team mate. They are so pretty and use the Butterfly Basics stamp set.



The Butterfly Basics stamp set is the set that everyone attending February's All Day Craft Event will receive as part of their class fee. I would not presume to copy (there just might be one that I CASE) the cards for the event but the above are most certainly inspirational.



The bouquet comes as a kit and makes more flowers than this. I wanted a smaller bouquet as I only had a small vase but the full kit makes 25 flowers. The hot glue gun will be coming out once I get back from Florida and I will finish all the flowers and post a photo of the full bouquet.

Right then, I'd better crack on and get those swaps done.

I am taking part in two organised swaps. One is for a small 4" x 4" page to go in the So You Project Kit  album. There are some 24 European demonstrators taking part in this swap and I still need to find a photo of me that I like.

The other swap is taking place on the night that we arrive so here's hoping that our flight is on time. I need to make 27 of the same card front so at least I only have to design one and then replicate it. I think I might just be sticking things together on the plane though.
