OnStage, for those of you that may not be familiar, is a Stampin' Up!® event for Demonstrators where there are opportunities to learn about leadership, planning events, and amazing new products to share with all our customers. The OnStage events are usually focused around an upcoming catalog release, introducing new products to Demonstrators, in various product demonstrations and displays during the event. It's similar to a convention, however we get to sit and enjoy the show.
I was honored when I received the telephone call from Chad at the home office, inviting me to present at the OnStage event in Hartford, Connecticut. I graciously accepted, and my experience was nothing but spectacular and exhilarating. I am so blessed to have been a part of such an amazing experience, and it has not only increased my confidence in public speaking, (900+ in attendance at Hartford), but it has blessed me with a social network of amazing Demonstrators, and many special friendships that have been created. There is something so heartwarming about the Stampin' Up!® community, it's a sense of family, and I am beyond grateful for having this opportunity and to be a part of such an amazing company.
Here are a few pictures from the amazing weekend at OnStage November 2019

Along with the amazing memories shared above from this entire OnStage experience, I also participated in a Scrapbook Swap organized by Jessica Brigden. The video below highlights my presentation & display projects as well as my swaps from the event.
