Convention surprise!

So you would think that after announcing the partnership with Sizzix and that we will have exclusive Stampin' Up! dies, that would be it for big announcements...but NO Stampin' Up! had one last surprise for all of us at the last general session on Saturday afternoon! They had a very creative way of presenting that surprise...As Shelli was speaking we heard a doorbell ring and a UPS guy came out on stage with a Stampin' Up! box. Shelli asked if she could help him and he asked if this was the Salt Palace. Shelli replied that it was and said she knew a lot of these people and who was he delivering to. He looks down at the box and says "Well it says I am supposed to delive this to EVERYONE. The room just EXPLODED!! there was confetti and screaming and clapping! It was soooo cool!

I am not sure if you can see the UPS truck just to the left of the support post. The truck drove right into the convention hall and out came numerous UPS employees with shopping bags loaded with the RMHC stamp set, Say It With Scallops. UPS, as a way to thank Stampin' Up! for all their business, purchased enough of the RMHC sets to give them to every demonstrator attending the final session of convention.

This is my friend Janis with one of the people who was handing out the stamp sets to demonstrators. I think the best part of this is that since UPS purchased the sets for all the demonstrators at convention, Stampin' Up! will still be able to donate the $2 for each set to RMHC!!! Since Stampin' Up! began this program they have donated nearly $700,000 to RMHC! This also includes the $100,000 corporate donation that Stampin' Up! makes each year.

Have a terrific Monday!
