This is a Milestone!!

Three years ago I attended my first ever Stampin' Up! convention.  There was a booth there all about Disney World because the incentive trip that you could earn in that upcoming year was a trip to Disney World.  Wow, I was so jealous of all those demos that always earn those trips!  I love Disney World and they were going to stay at the Boardwalk, a deluxe resort near Epcot.

A year later almost 200 demos had earned that trip.  I wasn't one of them.  I wasn't even close.  I hadn't even tried.  Although they earned the trip by June 2011 they didn't actually go on the Disney trip until May 2012.  So here's my confession.  I was there!  Yep, they all checked into this hotel on a Sunday and I was sitting in the lobby of the Boardwalk while they were all arriving.  I saw all the big demos and their families.  I even came back later in the week because I had rented a room to stay at the Boardwalk for one night while they were there.  I walked the halls and saw all the signs on their rooms saying "Incentive Trip Achiever."  I read blogs where several demos were posting pictures of all the fabulous pillow gifts they received every night.  They also posted about exclusive events inside Disney World that they got to attend.  And showed cards from the swaps.  I didn't want to be a lurker, I wanted to be included!  Somehow I wanted to earn an incentive trip. 

That goal became a reality this morning when I received my activity report!!


Next May I'll be on Allure of the Seas sailing to the Western Carribean, courtesy of Stampin' Up!  But all due to you, my customers and downline.  Thank you for your support this past year!  So many of you have asked me how close I'm getting to my goal.  We had a great open house last week.  I was just waiting for the final points that I needed.  Leah promoted with an order yesterday that officially gave me the total points needed.  Woohoo!!!

THANK YOU ALL !!!

Congratulations Carol!!!!! Remember that first quarter where we said we're meeting this quarter but what about next quarter? We discussed continuing to recruit. It worked and it was hard work. You should be proud.

Congratulations Carol - what an accomplishment for you! I love the story about you being at the hotel watching the other achievers and now YOU are one yourself. BTW, I found you via your friend Jan Hoyt. Off to check out your blog now.
