Hello, Crafters.
Yesterday Othman and I had an opportunity to speak to Shelli Gardner, Stampin’ Up! co-founder and boardchair, and her daughter Sara, who is CEO.

When I’m on an Incentive Trip, I’m always meetinfg people from other markets who I know for various reasons.
Tamara from Canada, me and Brenda Quintana. I knew Brenda from her videos and first met her last year. She has been very helpful in sharing her business building tips with me, so I have new plans for when I get back home. God bless you for your generous nature, Brenda. xx
I met Tamara for the first time today – unfortunately I can’t remember her last name. When I remember I’ll come back and enter it on here! It was lovely to meet you Tamara. xx
At 3 pm yesterday afternoon we left the ship to visit Santorini, which is a very picturesque Greek island. It’s very hilly with cobbled streets, and the temperature was at least 94°. Hot plus hilly equals flying visit! We had to be taken ashore by boat, and then we took the cable car to the top, and back down again when we were ready to go back to the ship.The following shots are from this Santorini trip.
I wasn’t happy to see that donkeys are used to carry tourists up and down the cobbled streets and other hilly areas! Fortunately, I didn’t see it happen, but I saw the donkeys, and the boards advertising the rides!
The final photographs are more new products I’v received! There are copper-coloured self-adhesive stars, and Mercury Glass Designer Acetate. Pack of 4 sheets, 2 each of two designs. The sheets of acetate have silver”foil” patterns and can be seen through in certain places. There is one photograph of each sheet, one with a dark blue sheet underneath it; and the other one with a white sheet underneath it!

thank you for sharing your wonderful trip with all of us, very cold wet and windy here in Melbourne
My heart goes out too you, Kaye. I allow myself to moan about cold, wet and windy; which means I’m not allowed to moan when it’s really hot! LOL!
Wow Jan what lovely photos, lovely to meet such nice people too and love the treats you got too.
Glad you are having a nice time…yes and a good thing you didn’t see the donkeys and wish I hadn’t in turkey as it still haunts me.But lots of lovely things for you to see and do.
Enjoy your day you two and god bless and stay safe.

I think most people are against mis-using animals nowadays. Many thanks, Helen. xx
Hot and hilly = cable car. I agree some beautiful new products coming out. I can hardly wait.
Absolutely without a doubt! xx
Your photos are great! I am enjoying “traveling with you” and other demos. I had not seen that acetate before. I’m hooked! TFS and continue to have fun.
Many thanks for enjoying the trip with us, Karen. xx
The pictures are wonderful….so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
Sharing is my pleasure, Deanette. I’m very pleased you’re enjoying my photographs. xx
Such lovely photos! Thanks for sharing your trip with us all. I agree about the donkeys. I don’t like horse racing, making horses jump hurdles or rodeos because of the mistreatment of the bulls and horses. That aside I’m glad you are having a good time and look forward to more pics. Take care.
My sentiments exactly, Sheron! xx
Climbing all the steps would not be for me…I would love to ride the cable car…beautiful pictures. So envious of your trip. I just know you are having a wonderful trip.
Many thanks, Reba. xx
Jan, thank you for sharing all of your wonderful adventures. Truly a trip to remember.
What beautiful pictures you are taking Jan. A very picturesque place. Enjoy
Many thanks, Claire. xx
