A Twenty-Something Crowd

We’re back at the hotel tonight after another delightful workshop. I know you are probably tired of hearing that everyone is so wonderful, but it’s true!

The people we met today at Ida’s group meeting and workshop were some of the nicest, most genuine, fun people ever! Ida is a twenty-something demonstrator, very new (signed up in December), and the majority of her workshop guests were about her same age, as well.

Her workshop was a family affair; it was great to see her family so supportive. Her father videotaped the workshop (we’ve told the demonstrators they can videotape, but they can only use the video in training for their own group), her brother took pictures, and her mother bustled in and out all night with treats.

Most of Ida’s guests knew how to stamp; they had grown up crafting and many are scrapbookers. They were so quick! Sara barely had to show them how to do the Make & Takes—they were all over it! They listened intently, and I’ve never seen such long wish lists! In fact, one guest picked up the Idea Book & Catalog and said, “This is my wish list!”

They liked the projects—we’re doing different projects at each workshop, which makes it a little challenging, but since I knew I’d be showing the samples after each workshop, I wanted each workshop to feature slightly different projects.

I think Ida’s sales were pretty good—when we left there were still a couple of guests filling out their order forms. She only got one booking, but she had two people sign up as new recruits today, so that’s very exciting!

Both Ida and one of her downline are working toward Rising Star, and I think they can do it! She’s excited and energetic, and working hard to sell, recruit, and support her growing downline. After meeting her today, I think she’s well on her way to building a thriving Stampin’ Up! business!

Thanks for posting about all the workshops. We all realize it is added time and effort for you. I love how you and Sara are wearing coordinating colors and how you "match" w/ Ida's wall!

Wow, this sounds so great, wish we had workshops in our area.

Me and my girls love the cards and will try to copy them with our own papers and stamps.

Thanks

Since I joined Stampin Up 14+ years ago, I have found that stampers are the best bunch of people ever. I am sure I speak for most, we don't get tired of hearing it because it is true! I look forward to every card class I have and enjoy my workshops even more. Most hostesses probably have no idea the work that goes into a workshop and I know the girls that come to my classes have no idea the hours that I spend designing & preping the cards and other projects. But I love (almost) every minute of it. Thanks for sharing the cards you and Sara are showing, they are giving me great ideas for my next 3 workshops.

Shelli, it was absolutely wonderful to meet you and Sara and it was such a great honor to have you demonstrate at my home!!

Everyone had such an incredible time and will never forget this workshop!
You gave me a lot of creative ideas and inspiration on how to grow my business. Thank you so much!

I hope we will meet again, hopefully the next time we meet I'll be walking across the stage for Rising Star!! I'll be working hard towards it! Thanks for such an unforgettable day!

Wishing you safe travels for the rest of your 21 workshops!

I feel like I am traveling with you and this is so much fun! I love seeing the faces of these demonstrators. They are so happy! I am sure this is busy and exhausting so take care of yourself and wear comfortable shoes. We know how you love to wear "cute" shoes. <wink>
Love all the workshop ideas too. Thanks for sharing all your fun!!

Oh I just loved the salebration card. I would love to know how you did the background. it looks so effective. Was it just a designer series paper. It just looked so simple but gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for showing that "simple" make and takes are OK .... I get stuck thinking I have to show it all ...this reminds me that I don't.

Oh my gosh! How cute were those cards?! And how did you know what color to wear to coordinate with her walls?!! I love the posts!
