OnStage Convention

Last week I was in Houston for Stampin’ Up’s OnStage. It was the first in person convention since pre-covid and 2000 people attended here in the US. At the same time there were the same events happening in Australia and Rotterdam.

I stayed at the Marriott which had a walking bridge directly to the convention center which was very appreciated especially the day it poured rain. This made me wish I had taken a swim suit although there wasn’t much extra time. Such a cool lazy river.

When you check in to the event you always get some kind of bag. They outdid themselves this year with this cool backpack.

Ribbons are always a way to show your achievements. I felt blessed to have earned sales, team building and leadership thanks to my customers and downline. These achievements are also recognized during the event with a stand up and wave.

My other recognition was for my 20 year anniversary which actually was in April of last year. So next month it will be 21 years. This was recognized with a walk across the stage.

So enough photos of me! Probably the most exciting part of attending this event in person is that you get the new catalog while you are there.

I love the new look. Isn’t it different? It doesn’t go live until May and I don’t have any yet to give out. I should have them for you by the end of April.

Here are the new InColors for the next two years.

Did you notice Pretty in Pink is an old color that is making a comeback?

This was fun. In the Product Playground area we could drop (or throw) a ping pong ball in the cylinder of our favorite new In Color. Easy to see that Petunia Pop got the most likes with Summer Splash coming in close behind. My favorite color was Summer Splash.
