The Stampin’ Up! Royal Treatment

It has been an amazing week to say the least. I’ve taken a bit of a technology break to enjoy and relax…so you’ll have a few days of highlights now. 

We work hard all year to earn an incentive trip with Stampin’ Up! Once we get here, we remember why. We are spoiled and treated to some wonderful experiences. And everything is times two! The achieving demonstrator and one guest. We always have the opportunity to pay for more to join us…so this year, Aaron was able to join us.

Welcome

The view from our room was breathtaking! We were able to watch the surfers from up here.

Every night we returned to our room…and there were pillow gifts!! Look at the haul from the week! This pile includes prizes as well from spinning the wheel in the hospitality room each day. Thank you Stampin’ Up!

The North Shore

I haven’t posted for several days, but we arrived safely in Oahu and have been thoroughly enjoying our time on the island!

We spent the first three days at the North Shore…it’s a lot quieter up there and we enjoyed being among the locals. Food trucks are a big thing on the island, and upon recommendations from Trip Advisor, we have tried 2. Delicious shrimp and fish!!

And of course there are frequent stops  for iced coffees!!

Hawaii 2015 Incentive Trip

We are counting the days until our Hawaii 2015 incentive trip with Stampin’ Up! Our travel documents arrived a few weeks ago and we have had a countdown on the chalkboard in our kitchen ever since. Actually we’ve had 2 countdowns going…our son turns 18 just 2 days before we leave. So we have lots to look forward to!

Don’t you just love the bag it all came it? We get spoiled when we are there as well…pillow gifts and prizes…so I’m thinking there might be a matching beach bag coming our way. Here’s hoping!

The colorful luggage tags are so bright and beautiful. I can’t wait to put them on our bags.

Hawaii 2015 stampin up incentive trip

I just told my husband the other day that I can smell the tropical air and taste the pineapple already! I simply cannot wait to feel the warm sun on my body:) I have Coffee Talk this evening (which is my monthly downline gathering), and then it’s off to pack!!

Every year, Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have the opportunity to work towards an incentive trip – all expenses paid for 2 people. When I first signed up as a demonstrator 12-1/2 years ago, I never dreamed I would be able to achieve such an awesome reward. The first year, I didn’t even look at the chart because I said, “Real people don’t earn free trips.” But guess what? I earned the cruise to Alaska that very first year! And once you achieve it, you want to do it over and over again! That is my one goal every year…to earn the trip. Hawaii 2015 will be the 12th one we have gone on!!! Isn’t that crazy?

So I want to thank all my friends and customers first and foremost…because YOU have made it possible. I don’t buy all those stamps and accessories myself!! … I buy A LOT…but not enough to earn a free trip. LOL! Thank You…Thank You…Thank You!!

I am very happy today…and you should be too, because look at the Deals of the Week.
