WorkShop of a LifeTime with Stampin' UP!'s Shelli Gardner!

O' My Goodness, once again, I have gone Ages without posting anything!! And How did I do that?


Especially considering that I just had the most Amazing Event Ever!!!! In fact it was so Amazing that I am still on Cloud 9! Maybe that is why I did not realize that time had just gotten away from me Once Again!


Well let me tell you about my amazing time with Shelli! For me this was just sooooo Exciting!



I was sooooooooo Very Nervous, and when I heard the knock on the door, I thought I was going to pass out! I opened the door, and there she was, Shelli was really at my house! And the first thing she did was hold out her arms to give me a Great Big Hug!!! O' my, now ya'll know I really almost died then!

Shelli and two of her wonderful daughters, Sara and Shalae just came right in and acted like we had just known each other forever. And here I am still Star Struck!!! But we had an amazing WorkShop!

Shalae, Shelli ,LaMuir & Sara!

Shelli and the girls just came right in and started setting up and just chatting away! It was amazing to see them in action. They were just at such ease, it really set the pace for the rest of the afternoon!
As the guests arrived, Sara & Shalae greeted them and had them make their first make-n-take of the day, the cutest name tag to go on their pens. O' it was sooooo cute! (and I was still a little Star Struck that I forgot to make my own and get a Picture)I was sooooooooo surprised to hear Shelli say that she was a little nervous! You mean Shelli the Stampin' Queen can still get a little nervous?!?!?!? Well let me tell you she Was Awesome! And with over half of my guests being brand new to Stampin' Up! This was a Real Treat for them!
I was soooooo surprised when Shelli gave me a Thank You Gift! for hosting the WorkShop! I thought O' My, it just keeps getting Better and Better!
Shelli Demonstrated 2 of the sweetest cards ever! She showed us how she likes to give depth and texture to her projects. I think Everyone of my guests were just blown away with how easy it was to make their card!
Have you ever heard Less is More? Well this is the sample board that Shelli brought! Aren't these the most Awesome Samples you have ever seen? O' My, I just fell in love with this idea. I don't know about other Demo's but I practically take my whole house, because I do not want to forget anything! But you can rest assure that I am going to stream-line my samples from now on and Do the above Board!

Shelli had the cutest Door Prize box, decorated with Designer Series Paper, it was just Adorable, what a great idea, I think I will do that as well!
Shelli took the time to answer questions from those who asked! She was just soooo Amazing! Shelli made sure that every question was answered!
Sara and Shalae helped with the Make-n-Take area, here are Christy & Linda making their cards, they had such a great time!
Here is Shelli chatting with Evelyn, Evelyn was a new guest, and came with a friend! O' don't we all just love that!!!!!!!!!! Ya know, true friends don't let friends stamp alone!!! And if you are a Really Good Friend, You always introduce them to your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!!!! And in this case, the Stampin' Queen!!!!
Here are some of the ladies as they finished their Make-n-Takes, they were all soooooo impressed with how easy it was to make such a GREAT Card!
At the end of the afternoon, I think Shelli & the Girls Truly enjoyed themselves! I know I sure did!
