Welcome to the Thailand Trip Achievers Blog Hop for July 2017!!

I'm baaaack from Thailand; and I am sooo grateful for the amazing trip to a 3rd world country.  A trip that I'm pretty sure I would not have planned to take in my lifetime.  I have so many wonderful customers, amazing team members, and loving family and friends to thank extensively for helping me achieve my goal...to earn a trip to Thailand for my hubby and me.  THANK YOU!!

Would you like to take a trip like this just by doing what you LOVE to do?  I can help you!  Stampin' Up! really spoils the demonstrators...I can't even begin to describe just how incredibly appreciated I felt during this trip.  Let me share with you some of the spoiling that we experienced...this doesn't even begin to tip the iceberg.

This was is a panoramic view from the 3rd floor balcony...breathtaking and very grateful for the best view on the resort!  Listening to the sounds of the waves crack as they hit the shore was very relaxing...definitely took advantage of the peacefulness and serenity. This resort was HUGE and we basically had the whole place to ourselves.  So, I felt very much 'at home' running into all my friends each day...and, making new friends, too.

I'm going to share with you some of the awesome gifts that we received each night...they were packaged in brown wrapping and wrapped with some 3/8" Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon, adorned with Mini Tassels, and accompanied by a Thailand tag.  Christmas excitement arrived as a 'pillow gift' every night!

Here was the wonderful Tote Bag that we received on Thursday night....big and sturdy enough to haul all my pillow gifts, prize patrol, card swaps, and a few souvenirs.  It came in very handy to carry on the plane home with me.  Stampin' Up! is always thinking!

This was the gorgeous gift we received Friday night after coming back from an amazing Closing Ceremony at the Blue Elephant.  Thai cuisine and handcrafted souvenirs for purchase lined the largest outdoor tent I have ever seen in my life.  Check out the special touch of Stampin' Up!'s logo silk printed on the inside of the box....not a beat missed for making me feel very much appreciated.

AND, the little Elephant charm necklace was handed to us as we departed the Closing Ceremony.  "To love what we do and share what we love".  Warms my heart with all the passion I have for what I do, to share with everyone, and for this wonderful company.

Soooo, the most exciting gift we received, outside of all the FREE product (yes, TONS of new product) given to us through the week was theeee most beautiful ...waaiiiit for it!

....Holiday Catalog EVER!!  OH. MY. GOSH!!!  We were all gushing through the pages that morning during the Opening General Session.  Of course, they waited until towards the end of the session, because, you know....no one was raising their head to pay attention to what was said after these babies reached our fingertips.  Haha! 

Would you like to see a sneak peak of a card we were able to create using brand new products from the Holiday catalog??  No?  Maybe?  Okay...yeesssss!  I thought you would.  Feast your eyes on the "Joy" card showing all kinds of beautiful shine.

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to the next blog.  You won't want to miss traveling on as I know that everyone on the hop list will have something adorable and exciting to share with you...you don’t want to miss a thing!
