I just came across this picture & since I had just mentioned in my previous post (about the Catalog Card Swap) that Karen Duke was responsible for it - I thought I'd show you KAREN!! She's the sweetie in the middle here, and that's Judy Garza on the right. Both girls are my lovely new friends!!
This picture was taken in Sept. at Founder's Circle, at a place in Kanab, UT called "Shelli's Park". Look closely at Karen's eyes - they really do twinkle!!
This is a park that Shelli & Sterling Gardner - owners of Stampin' Up! - bought & built for the community. If you look closely at the ground you will see RUBBER!! That's the leftover chips of rubber from the manufacturing facility which is just a couple of miles away.
Here are just a few more pics of this area & what your purchases of Stampin' Up! products have made possible.
I had to share this picture with you - just look at that backdrop! Imagine taking your own children to this park and enjoying the scenery as they played on the swings.
This picture is the pavillion when we arrived for lunch. The girls from SU! had the cutest little buckets for us - Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst and White - filled with linen napkins & some other little goodies - and our lunch! It was adorable!
This last pic is Mary Fish - the #1 Rising Star in SU! last year. Now THAT IS SOME AWARD!! That means she was the best NEW demonstrator around. woo hoo, Mary! You go, girl!!
So now I'm laughing as I re-read this post because what started out as simply showing you Karen Duke's twinkling eyes, has turned into a tour of Shelli's Park in Kanab, and the #1 Rising Star in the company.
Now you know how my brain works. Or doesn't!!! LOL!! Have a great weekend!!!
