My sneak peek of the Petal Passion Suite (available Jan. 3)
I had a fabulous time with friends, fellow demonstrators and Stampin’ Up! staff at the On-Stage event in Salt Lake City this past week. Highlights included rewards and recognition, new product reveals (including the new Stamparatus – see below) and a chance to pre-order from the Occasions Catalog (as well as earn Sale-A-Bration freebies). I’ll share a video of my pre-order products from the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration when they arrive later this week. The customer sales period for both begins Jan. 3, 2018.
Getting a congrats hug from CEO Sara Douglass.
Truly, the biggest accomplishments for me this past year were learning to better balance my life, remodel our new home, carve out more creative time with paper, stamps & ink, fire up more of my WOW! videos and make more stamping friends through my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Community, customers, blog, Pinterest and more. However, Stampin’ Up! did a bang up job honoring demonstrators with recognition and rewards. I’m so grateful to my customers, Stampin’ Pretty Pals Community, blog followers and family (especially my niece, Kris, who is my administrative assistant) for their support.
Here are my “stats” for the 2016-2017 Stampin’ Up! Year.
#6 overall globally (yes, that’s the whole wide world of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators)
#4 overall in the United States
#2 U.S. Leadership
#4 U.S. Recruiting
#7 U.S. Sales
Sharing the spotlight for reaching $1.1 million in sales with fellow demonstrator, Linda Bauwin.
I also received recognition for reaching $1.1 million in sales this past year. I recently surpassed $1.2 million in sales. Woo hoo!
I get to boast about three members of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Community being in the Stampin’ Up! Global Top 100, too! Congrats to Brian King #24, Jennifer Michalski #73! and Susan Itell #100.
All members of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Community that attended On-Stage received the Stampin’ Up! Leaf Punch as a gift from me. I’m so proud of all them and consider them my stamping family!

Congratulations to you Mary, you rocked it again this year along with your fantastic team! I’m so happy to have been in SLC to see you cross that stage multiple times. The best thing I ever did was join your group 5+ years ago. Your team of Pals are the best. Thank you so much for all you do for all of us! You are one special, amazing lady. Cheers to another great year!
This makes me melt. Thanks so much, Patti. I’m very grateful you found me and have been such a great stamping friend to all!
Congrats, Mary! I love being a small part of all these stats!
Thanks so much, Patti. I’m so fortunate to call you one of the Pals!
Congratulations Mary! You are an inspiration!
I really appreciate you taking the time to say congrats, Lynnette! Have a lovely day!
Mary, Congratulations on all your success. You inspire me everyday. Thank you for your great website, WOW video’s and being a very KIND person.
Thanks, Judy. It means the world that you feel inspired by what I do!
Congrats, Mary! You deserve all the kudos and hugs for the fantastic things you do. But, I still think you should be Vice-President of Way Cool Designs, too. Just sayin’
Congrats to all the Sup winners for their hard work and terrific ideas and designs!
You are divine, Karren! I’m honored to be considered for the VP of Way Cool Designs!
A well deseved CONGRATS !!! U rock ! 🙂
U rock for leaving me a kind comment, Becky!
Congrats to you and the rest of the Team! Well Done! So happy for you all! Looks like you had a great time and the recognition to you and your Team were well deserved! Blessings to you ALL!
Marvelous to hear, Cheryl. I’m so lucky to have you as one of the Pals!
Dare I say…….(okay……I’m going to say it)…….YOU ARE AMAZING my sweet friend. You are such an inspiration to all who paper craft and that have decided to follow this paper trail. Thanks for everything you do!
That means so much, Kadie. So wonderful to think that our friendship began with Stampin’ Up! and our moves to Tucson.
Congratulations Mary but your achievements come as no surprise. It is wonderful that all your hard work was recognized. I start each day with a cup of coffee and your blog. Can’t wait to see all the new products! And I am thrilled to know that with the Stamperatus I will have excellent ink coverage on all my projects each and every time. My scraps pile will dwindle very soon!
Thanks so much, Cindy. Your congrats warm my heart. I think that feature of the Stamparatus (being able to restamp a less than perfect image again) will be my favorite.
Mary, congratulations on all your achievements. You are such an inspiration to everyone and a great example of what can be accomplished.
Thanks so much, Robbye! I appreciate your kindness.
It’s such an honor to be a part of your team, Mary! I couldn’t be more proud of your accomplishments this year – you rock! It was great to spend so much time with you in Salt Lake City. <3
I’m lucky to get to enjoy the entire Pals Community and cheer for a few that go way above and beyond (like you, BK).
Mary, congratulations! You are such a wonderful leader and person – you deserve this and more 🙂 Sounds like you had a wonderful time in Utah and with the Pals. Congrats to so many in the top 100 as well! I’m very excited to hear about the new things coming, and I love the little bird image on your sneak peek!!! Have a great day 🙂
Thank you so much, Amy G. I definitely had a marvelous time and that little bird rocks (I’m so picky about bird images)!
Mary, congratulations on Stats!!!!
🙂
Thanks so much, Nancy. I’m on cloud 9 to have had such a strong year and learn to balance my life and time better!
