Stampin' Up Convention 2012 Meeting Shelli Gardner and Telling her my Owl Story.

Hi Blogging Friends!!!

More fun at Convention NEWS!!!

I met a bunch of fun girls from New York and while they where in my room looking at all my Owls, they helped me choose what owl to give to Shelli Gardner, CEO and Co-founder of Stampin' Up. I named the Owl "Michelle". She is named after a few different girls that I met named Michelle, so sweet and so nice.... Just like every girl in SU should be!!

Wow!!!  was so excited about seeing Shelli and giving her a gift. I told her my story about designing the SU fabric Owl after the owl punch and adopting them out my blog to pay my way to Convention 2012. She just loved my story and was so happy for my success.

Here is where handed it to her. Awww, Michelle is so darn Cute!!!

Just in case you did not see my other post about all 45 of the Owls having a Party in my room... here is the funny picture. If you are looking for "Michelle" in this photo... "Alice" is standing on her head. (the right center of the photo)

I had the best time at Convention this year and I really have all of you who bought my owls to THANK! It paid 100% of my trip. I got so many encouraging emails and girls just wishing me luck. I met a bunch of them at Convention and I know that when I go next year I will meet even more of you. With next year being 25th Stampin' Up Anniversary!!!

Thanks for looking

Stampin' Up Convention 2012 Riverton Campus Tour with Friends!!!

Ok... It happened again!! Yes something fantastic!!

Jenn and I wanted to do the tour of the Riverton Campus first thing in the morning with Penny Hanuszak... But we got a late start and thought that we had missed her. Penny and I have never met but wanted to hang out during Convention. So by the time Jenn and I were ready to do the tour around noon, I walked over to the line and Penny was standing right there.... I mean right there next to me and said.... "Shirley Pumpkin?"... lol I said "yes" she said "I am Penny" my mouth dropped open I just could not even believe it!! 4000 people here and she was standing next to me! We were so excited!!

Penny and I at Riverton

I took over 300 pictures and had to pick just a few to share.

In Salt Lake City for Stampin' Up Convention 2012 with my Owl Babies!

Hey I made it to SLC!

Things have been fun from the start. Jenn and I went to the airport and after a little shopping I went to my gate and walk right onto the plane and got a window seat. Then the girl that sat next to me said "I know you, you're Shirley Pumpkin". She (Leilani Landis)went on to tell me that she bought one of my owls back when I first started making them... and Yes one of the first ones I sold on my blog... Cute little Mr. Buttons from the Sweet Stitches SU fabric.

Here I am at the Shilo in SLC with a bunch of my Owl babies

Here they are right out of the suitcase.... Jumping on my Bed!!! I told them to stop! People are going to hear them Whoooting and Dancing! lol

This is cute little Joy. She is made with the SU Christmas fabric

This is Tabitha. She is made with some fun Candy corn fabric and the new SU Harvest fabric.

This is Ivy. She is also made with the new SU Christmas fabric.

This is Elvis. He is made from the new SU Harvest fabric.

This is Herman. She is made with some fun Owl fabric and SU's new Harvest fabric.

Thanks Girls for all the fun and Hugs!!

This is the view from my room... I was so happy, because last time I was here I was looking at a brick wall. lol

That is the Convention Center right in the front. I am on the 6th floor and I even seen the sunset tonight from my window. I want to get a better picture but the windows are so darn dirty. I wonder if I talk to the front desk if someone will clean them tomorrow.???
