As some of you may know, I’ve been working towards a very LARGE goal this year -The 2018 Stampin’ Up! incentive trip an amazing Alaskan cruise for two. When the trip was announced in the summer of 2016, I thought, “Wow! That would be awesome!” and set that as my goal for the year. It’s been an amazing journey, with lots of fun, a bit of self-doubt at times, and plenty of hard work.
Well, that hard work paid off! I’m very happy to announce that yesterday, I achieved my goal!!!
I’m still a bit in awe. This is my very first incentive trip with Stampin’ Up! and I can’t wait. I couldn’t have done it without my very supportive team of Stamping Bees and my friend and mentor, Selene Kempton. Nor could I have done it without all the lovely and amazing ladies who stamp with me throughout the year. We’ve laughed, cried, and supported each other through our crafting and built some amazing friendships along the way. So, thank you – or rather – thanks a latte! I wouldn’t have been able to have earned this trip without each and every one of you!
