Here are the happenings from OnStage in Long Beach day 3, Saturday. The new In Colors are featured below in this group of cards presented at our general session. They are: Hydrangea Hue, Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, & Barely Blush. Of course, I love the new blue & green the best!

Also, I was honored to do a breakout class presentation with Natalie White and 2 other demonstrators called Business Mash Up. We passed the microphone down the line and answered questions about how we each handled certain aspects of our businesses. Natalie divided us up so that we each presented at least two of the four class times.

During our make’n’take session, I finally got a great photo with Shelli. Somehow, my photos with Shelli are usually blurry or have some other lighting issue. I love this one. Plus, she told me she watched my second presentation and that I did a great job…so glad I didn’t know she was watching while I was talking…lol.

I didn’t even do the make’n’takes…I just used the time to talk and visit with people that I hadn’t seen yet. Nancy and I took a couple of fun photos with demos she wanted to meet. Here’s one of them.

Oh, I almost forgot to show all the goodies I received. Here’s the photos. Silver Elite and above enjoyed a free breakfast where we received this little pouch that matches our event bag.

We ended the OnStage with dinner at the Islands Restaurant close to the convention center. Two demo friends, Cheryl & Chris, joined us. I met them in New Orleans at BackStage a few years ago and hung out with them again in Vegas at our most recent BackStage.

So, that’s Long Beach day 3…next year is virtual. But, in 2028, Stampin’ Up! celebrates 40 years with a huge convention party in Salt Lake City.

Happy Stampin’
