Hi everyone,
* Please note that I have edited this post and added pictures and details. My first post did not have many pictures.
On Wednesday morning, we lined up bright and early to get our Convention bags and SHOP at Memento Mall! What fun!
After that, we took the bus to go tour the Riverton Home Office. They have these fabulous big rocks in front of the office building and they are perfect props for taking pictures.
Large flower display.
Loopy wall decor.
Covered books and cards.
I thought this room was fabulous! They "blew up" the flower in "Betsy's Blossom" and then cut out card stock to make the flower. Gorgeous!!
After touring the Legacy Room, we went on to visit the Distribution Center. It is HUGE. Probably at least as big as a football stadium and there are boxes and conveyor belts everywhere. Here are some pictures of it:
This is what you see directly in front of you when you are on the balcony (you can't even see the back wall of the warehouse!!) |
This is what you stand on the 2nd floor balcony and look to the left. At this point, the boxes have travelled all the way through the warehouse and are coming back up this conveyor belt. |
After touring the Distribution Center, we went into the Atrium and took some pictures as a large group. Stampin' Up! has made this facility absolutely beautiful for the employees. It has a large waterfall and pond in the middle and everything looks and feels welcoming. What a beautiful place to work!
After our tour, we went to the Olive Garden for a fabulous supper (WAY too full after that) and then went back to the Convention Center for our first Class. My class was called "I Am a Pattern-Mixing Pro" and we worked on creating a beautiful canvas with paper flowers. The class was lead by Carrie Cudney. She is so much fun!
I did not finish my project but will...someday!!!
It was a great first day!

Wow! Congratulations on your amazing accomplishments, Andra! I have always heard about how amazing Convention is but these pictures blew my mind. I can only imagine the creative energy that surrounds this event. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip!
Hi Andra,
Two awards - well done my friend! It just seems like yesterday you joined Stamp It Up as a demonstrator! I am sooo proud of all that you have accomplished during this time through your hard work and dedication! Convention sounds like so much fun! I would be interested in learning about the Big Shot when you return! Have fun and safe travels, Jodie
