I did it! I got up on stage at the Stampin’ Up! Birmingham Regional Conference and did a Workshop Wow presentation! And I didn’t even mess up – I almost forgot to show the cookies in my little treat bag but I remembered at the end. My friends took some pictures of me and I am working on getting pictures of everything I showed so that I can post it here and on Stampin’ Connection for everyone to see all the little projects.
I had the cameraman over my shoulder so I had to remember to hold everything towards him instead of holding it up towards the audience in front of me. Shannon gave me a tip on shaking hands – she said to hold my arms against the table instead of up in the air – so that is what I tried to do the whole time. I was so glad I got through it and hopefully what I said made sense to everyone. They clapped – more than once – so I think it was good! I will be sharing all the instructions for my projects and up close pictures of each one here on my blog – so if you were at the regional and didn’t get a picture you will be able to see everything here.
My group had a great time and I hope everyone else did too. We all received a card keeper box to decorate, an art journal and kit to decorate, and an extra mini scrapbook project plus our two make ‘n takes.
Have a great day!
Congratulation! Now that you’ve done it once, it should be a little easier when you do it again, you’re a PRO now!!
I wish you the best and am waiting on the pics and instructions for all your projects!
Again, Congratulations!!!
How exciting Monika! Isnt’ that just the most thrilling experience? Love the paper bag idea!!
Congratulations, Monika! I’m not surprised that you were selected, and I’m sure you did an awesome job! I will be waiting to see all of your projects.
TFS Monika! Very cute idea! I will definately be making some of these!
Monica, Your project was so great I went home an ordered the square scallop die. LOL. Now I’m trying to make my baggies as cute as yours. Thanks for the great idea on repurposing the packing paper.
