Last Saturday during our Maui Big Shots! Team Meeting I got a text from Shelli Gardner saying she & her family were on Maui & would like to meet with me & whoever else I wanted to invite. I read the text to my team & we all went a little crazy!! I decided to have them over to my house so that we could show them some Maui hospitality. Last night was the special night.
Me & Shelli. I’d met her about 5 years ago when I had to stand in line to get a photo with her… and here she is at my house for dinner!
Our family tree: Crystal (Anne’s Team Leader), Sterling, Shelli, Anne (my Team Leader), & me
Random photos. Everyone wanted their picture taken with these two celebrities! We should have gotten autographs, you guys! Shelli & Sterling were so gracious & down to earth. We’re so grateful that they shared their vacation time with us!
I have to just say, it was a team effort getting this event together & I appreciate all of you so much that cleaned my house!, brought over delicious food & flowers, helped fill up the gift bag for Shelli. And you should see my craft room!! I have to take a picture! It’s totally picked up! Kind of a shocker when I walk in here!
After dinner we gathered around the front room asked them random questions. Learned a bit of history about the journey of Stampin’ Up! and what’s coming up next (30th anniversary event in Orlando!)
Still glowing from the fun evening. I’m so grateful for all the friends (old & new) I’ve made through Stampin’ Up! Safe travels, Shelli & Sterling, until we meet again. A hui hou.
