Convention Highlights - Day 2 Continued

The highlight of traveling to the Riverton Campus during Convention is to see how they have decorated The Legacy Museum for us this year.  Every year it is very different and, somehow, even more fabulous, which seems impossible!  But somehow...they wow us again and again :)

Allow me to take you on a brief tour of our special museum....

As you enter, you are welcomed into the entrance....where you are delighted by a little candy shoppe.  Just a small "taste" of the biggest display from last year.

Can you believe this is made entirely from cardstock and embellishments?

 

And, as we progress thru our mock home....you are awestruck by the beauty of this little girl's room.  Isn't that lamp shade just amazing??

 

A little country Christmas to get you into the holiday spirit....and no, it's not at all a little bit early!

Aren't those presents wrapped so simply, yet so cute at the same time??

 

 This Birthday Bash Set-up in the dining room is one to envy...

 

And what a great use of space and coordination for a stampin' space!!

 

The Sitting Room!  Floating Frames around some beautiful Stenciling :)

 

Great balance of stampin', embellishing, and family photos in this array of shelves and framing.

This sure doesn't look like my office space....

And what do you put in your curio cabinets??

Convention Highlights - - Day 2

I have sooooo much to share from our second day at convention!! 

Wednesday is check-in day....and we get to pick - up our Convention Bag!  Inside are lots of goodies, including the stamp sets that are given to us for our Make-N-Take class.  This year's bag was ultra cute!!  And inside was this cute binder designed to hold our catalog that was hole punched for us and came with nifty dividers :)

After we checked in we boarded "Le Bus" that shuttled us over to Corporate Headquarters in Riverton, Utah, where we toured the facilities.

On display is a production model of how a stamp set is made....the first step are many, many sketches...and once approved the images are transferred to a metal plate to mold our the rubber!!

How would you like this to be the first thing you see when you walk into work every morning??

And...the best part of the building....I think I could get used to stamping in this amazing space every day!!

Plenty of room to stamp, brainstorm, relax and get those creative juices flowing :)

 

And the amazing think tank room.....behind plexi-glass with floor to ceiling dry erase boards!!

Where many, many demonstrators left notes of gratitude and encouragement...like Maria!!

OK...you all thought my "stash" was bad!!  Just kidding....but have you ever wondered how our stamps get to us??  Well, it's a huge warehouse with an elaborate "smart" conveyor system.  It uses a system of lights and weights to identify the items that need to go into the boxes...

And time for a little goofing off!

Mary Helen, Martha and Maria and I had a little fun around campus before it was time to head back to Salt Lake City :)

Can you believe I still have a ton of pics to sort thru and share??  I hope you are enjoying some of the inside information I have to share :)  There's still more to come!

Did you know you have only 6 more days to join the Stampin' Up Family for only $99 ??

Join now and you could be a part of Convention, too!!

Happy Stampin'
