The Last Splash—Stampin' Up! had a surprise event for us the last night of our trip. We could hardly wait to see what they had planned for us!
Final Dinner—They took us to a lovely outdoor dinner at the DiFiore Center for Arts and Education. It was a gorgeous evening..the whole week was perfect weather, actually!
So Elegant—Once again, Stampin' Up! spared no expense in making it an extravagant affair!
Tamra Davis, Kim Vogel & Dawn Bourgette.
Sippin' Sodas—We started the evening with Italian sodas.
Connie Heisey & Jennifer Cotton
Notes For Shelli—During the dinner, they took mini Polaroid instant photos of each of us and we attached them to Project Life cards along with a note to CEO Shelli Gardner. She couldn't be with us on this final Founder's because she is currently on a mission in Hawaii.
Gift From Sara—We each got a little gift that Sara personally picked out for us. Inside was a smooth white stone with the word "Inspire" engraved on it.
Beautiful Blooms—More gorgeous floral arrangements were everywhere!
Orb Salad—Our Caesar salads were served in little orbs! Cool idea!
Fantastic Food—I'm a pretty picky person, but this dinner was so yummy! My favorite one of the trip!
Oh My!—And then there was the Cheesecake Bar! We could choose our own toppings for the little round cheesecakes. I had to sample a little bit of just about everything!
Angie Leach & Joyce Feraco
So Sweet—Everyone was so kind to me, sharing their condolences about my dog. I was so surprised when Joyce Feraco, Janet Baker & Karen Trelfa gave me a pretty necklace that said "Strength" on it. That was such a kind gesture! Thanks, ladies!
Theater In The Round—For our final event, we watched a wonderful performance of West Side Story at the St. George Musical Theater. The son of fellow trip achiever Jill Olsen performed in the production. We were all pretty sad when Sara Douglass gave her final goodbyes during intermission. Not a dry eye at this event!
Final Pillow Gift—Our last pillow gift was a lovely Pandora bracelet with a beach ball charm to commemorate the "Last Splash" theme. Other nights, we received a makeup brush kit and an active-wear jacket as pillow gifts.
Goodbye Founder's Circle—On Day 5, several of us had to get up early to travel on the bus to the Las Vegas airport! I made the most of our 2-hour trip by talking business with Tami White, Dawn Griffith & Lee Conrey…what awesome mentors! It was a super-long travel day, filled with bittersweet memories of an unbelievable trip. A special shout-out to Julie Brancart for keeping me company as we waited at the airport.

Angie
Hi Angie, I’m a fellow demonstrator, but a newbie – about a year, and I love your cards and how generous you are to provide the details on how they’re made. I pin many of them. Congrats on making it to Founder’s Circle — well-deserved. Sympathy on the loss of your Lucky dog. Thanks for sharing your cards and your “heart”. Best, Sheila
Angie- Thanks again for all your inspiring work. I love your creations and the support you have always provided. Congrats on your recent achievement!! I hope you are doing ok with the passing of your Lucky Dog. Can’t wait for the holiday paper share to arrive.
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful creations. Sorry to read about Lucky Dog he founded like an incredibly loving pup.
So sorry about your loss of your dog. And sorry you couldn’t be home to be with him. Thanks for sharing your trip. You really made the most of an extraordinary opportunity and the support you received is so typical of Staminp Up people. Why is the last Founders Circle event? Wasn’t clear on that.
Thanks, Sheila, Bernie, Sandi and Andrea for the kind comments! Andrea, SU is currently in 10 countries around the world and Founders Circle was only for North American demos. It’s not something they can duplicate in all markets as they grow globally, so they are doing away with it.
Angie,
So sorry you lost your precious member of your family, Lucky dogger…you had some great support there but it still is always so hard. We just love them so much! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration you share! Hugs and prayers, Ruthie
first; so sorry for your loss ;-( it’s NEVER easy to say goodbye.
second; THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your cards, details, etc! i receive your newsletter and LOVE the details that you shared during the founder’s circle trip! i can’t even begin to imagine the fun that was had by all
It has been fun to hear about/see photos of your experience, Angie! So glad you had the opportunity to be pampered that way…you deserve it, after the great way you treat all your customers and team people!
