I LOVE being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! Bet you couldn't tell that already from looking at my blog, can you??? Well, I love every minute of it, even after 6 1/2 years of running my own Stampin' Up! business, I can't begin to tell you the satisfaction and pleasure I get out of teaching stamping techniques to both new stampers and more experienced gals!
Another perk I have comes from the fact that I have been blessed to be able to continue to earn the Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip every year. I get to take a fabulous all-expenses-paid trip every spring with my wonderful husband, Mark! Here we are at the beautiful Hilton Waikaoloa Village Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii:
This was our "Beach Day"!
The Stampin' Up! Hospitality Room had lots of great swaps on display:

Stampin' Up! is SO accomodating that when I asked if we could fly in early to visit Pearl Harbor, they allowed the travel agency to book our flight a couple of days ahead and PAID for it! Here's our view from our hotel room just a block away from Wakiki Beach:
And here's the gorgeous sunset we watched while sitting on a pier at the beach!
Stampin' Up! had a great breakfast and fun Opening General Session for us the first full day in Hawaii, but after that our time was our own!
We took a 10 hour bus tour around the Big Island one day which included a visit to this volcano crater!
Of course, there were pillow gifts every night:
And a "Share Night" where demos brought projects from camps, classes, and workshops that have really been enjoyed by their stampers, and we had loads of time to browse, take pictures, and "talk shop"!

One of the best things about the Incentive Trip is making new friends! Here I am with Heather, who I swapped some great swaps with at the final night luau!
The Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip is one perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I hope to help many of my downline achieve!
