Stampin’ Up’ Convention, Sydney 2010: Awards Night
Saturday felt like one big party: we had a birthday celebration in our group (Happy birthday Tracy), the final day of Convention and then finished up with the annual Awards Night. Great food, wonderful company and what a bang to end our amazing time in Sydney.
Stampin' Up! made every demonstrator feel like a star on arrival with a red carpet and our own very own paparazzi. It was so funny!
The main convention room that we'd been sitting in hours earlier for our sessions had been transformed. There was even a live band, and the tables had the most amazing centrepieces…
There is something very special about seeing your own downline friends be recognised for their achievements, and I was absolutely honoured (and a little emotional LOL) to celebrate the following:
- Tracy Penn, Sales Award (Berwick, Vic)
- Juliana Main, Sales Award (Barham/Deniliquin, NSW)
- Maureen Crameri, Sales Award, Recruiting Award, Incentive Trip Achiever, Demonstrator of the Year (Camperdown, Vic)
And to top off an amazing year, Maureen was awarded the 14th placed Demonstrator of the Year! Congratulations Maureen (oh don't let me get emotional again!), Tracy and Juliana. You are amazing women with immeasurable talents.

I couldn't let the girls have all the fun and all the stamps so managed to cross the stage without tripping over (pheww) for:
– Sales Award
– Recruiting Award
– Leadership Award
– Incentive Trip Achiever
– 16th placed Australian Demonstrator of the Year
– 2nd placed Leadership Award winner
I'm sitting here looking at the most amazing Burberry bag that Stampin' Up! gave me for being in the top 3 for the Leadership award, still pinching myself. It's kind of hard to know what to say (still a bit speechless) except a genuine thank you for the great group of friends that I call my downline, my customers and stamping friends, and of course thank you to Stampin' Up! (*sniff sniff*).
Tomorrow we'll be back to our regular programming. I can't wait to show you the swaps I received and all the other ideas.
Don't forget that the Big Shot Class is THIS FRIDAY. Let me know if you'd like to join us for some crafting fun.
Happy stamping,
