Hello Stampers,
Today was the day I most look forward to on the trip. We visit the manufacturing facilities at Kanab, Utah, about a 2 hours bus trip. Along the way we share ideas with Shelli Gardner (the CEO) and play Bingo and other game for prizes - I was lucky to win some Glitter Brads!
When we arrive at Kanab we are greeted by the employees - we get off the bus to them cheering and waving and holding signs thanking us! Can you imagine? You feel like a rock star - very emotional to feel the outpouring of gratitude for the demonstrators!
We toured the plant and learn how stamps are made (no pictures allowed) and this year we received a gift of one of the brand new stamp sets from the upcoming Occasions Mini! So fun! We got to cut, die-cut and package our own sets.
Here's my friend, Susan Patterson and I in front front of the facilities at "The Rock". Such a beautiful plant!
Next we visit a local park that has been refurbished by Stampin' Up! for the community. The playground itself is made of the left over rubber from the manufacturing process. It's soft to land in and is a wonderful use for recycled materials. Here's Colleen and I playing in the rubber.
Then we have our lovely picnic lunch - check out the picnic baskets this year! Adorable!
Next we are back on the bus and heading back to St. George.
Today we are visiting a wonderful outdoor theatre to see a production of "The Little Mermaid" - a busy but fun day! This was our pillow gift last night - goodies for our play!
Happy Stamping!
Alison
