So after yesterday's you-tube video (okay I'll let you in on a secret I wasn't sure it would work lol) ... I thought I'd show you this clip from the US Convention - its all the home office staff in Utah - if I could work anywhere in the world ... it would be with all these lovely people at Stampin' Up!
There are so many people who we have met here in Australia at Convention - its great to see everyone having fun.
And here's the US Convention highlights too:
By now you will be singing along with the I Am song. What a great company to be a part of.
Don't forget if you want to come along to the Melbourne Heartfelt day this Saturday you have until tomorrow to let me know.

Have you ever wondered what happens at a Stampin' Up! event? Well now's your chance - there's just a few days left to register for the Melbourne Event which is being held on Saturday 4 August .... yep that's next Saturday - registration has been extended so thankfully that has given me some time to tell you all about it.
Now I do have something to whet your appetite - its not quite the day in Melbourne but it is the highlights from the Convention held in Canberra.
Now doesn't that look fun?
Its the first time for the Heartfelt day but I am sure that just like any Stampin' Up! event it will be a day to remember.
The day is open to all demos and friends and will be held in the Melbourne Convention Centre. There are four classes to attend, demonstrations, product playground, makes and takes and a new stamp set, inspiration boards (bring your camera) and lunch.
Cost for the day is $120, so if you want to come along let me know and I'll sign you up.
Hoping to see you there.

I've been away from blog land for far too long - I promise I have been creating just not sharing ... but I am here to make amends!
I'm taking part in a monthly blog hop with friends, showing what is often thought of as a difficult thing to create - something for the boys and men in our lives.
Olivia asked for an 18th card for one of her friends (this time I had over a week's notice which is good - last time I had about an hour!). I was inspired by a swap from Convention with the bandana technique. It was a bit fiddly and I kind of went with the artistic approach to the white gel pen outlines, but I really like the end result.
I've used Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist with the Extreme Elements stamp set used in Basic Black. I just can't create a card without ribbon - so this time I used Bakers Twine - but thinking that some thin black ribbon would have been good too.
Off you hop now to visit Di Dunk - she is sure to have created a whole heap of lovely things.
Pop back soon - I've plenty lined up for you to make up for my absence.

Do you love it when reality bites?
FOCUS is playing a part in my life but unfortunately it doesn't always appear in my creative life. So I apologise but I haven't completed this month's task. Instead I thought I'd share last year's little canvasses for my word CHANGE.
I will be doing this for my 2012 word and will show you next month.
Just in case you think I've slacked off all month .... I have just read my five little focuses for the assignment last month and I am pleased to report that I have had my eyes tested and I am in denial that I need bifocals (stop sniggering ... apparently its affecting 'young' people now) .... and I have been concentrating on healthy eating and exercise - albeit that I have twisted my pelvis by wearing some new trainers and its a bit ouchy ouch. Oh and I've broken down the task of painting all the wooden woodwork in our home white and I've made a start :o)
Time to hop along to Jill Conveys - Jill is such an inspiration. I stalk ... I mean follow .... her blog - and have gleamed many great ideas to live a happy and healthy life.
Til next month
