Utah Bound…

Sep 6, 2026 | 8 comments

Hi all!

I’m heading to Salt Lake City to the Stampin’ Up home office on Tuesday for the Million Dollar Achiever Retreat!
I had hit that sales milestone last year and now the time is here to celebrate.
I had hoped to get a video up this weekend but I had a whole lotta shares to cut, package and mail out before I left!

I’ll post all my trip updates over on my Stamping School Facebook page HERE
rather than my personal page.   Matt will be going also and looks like we have a full agenda.
(I’m hoping to squeeze in some genealogy time at the big library there!)

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported my Stampin’ Up! business and purchased from me over the years.
This milestone would not have been possible without you – I am incredibly grateful for every order, every bit of encouragement, and every year stamping!

Yes, I will get to design a stamp set!  More to come on that because it will be next year:)

I’m required to share a little fine print with this milestone, so here it is—with a whole lot of gratitude! This reflects my own journey, hard work, and many years of building my Stampin’ Up! business. Fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators achieve this level of sales, and individual results will vary.

SU Holiday Catalog begins today!
