Wow! Wow! Wow! I had such an amazing time at the Fun Stampers Journey
convention in Phoenix, that I just have to share a few of the highlights. (Also
please note this is my first EVER convention attended ever) **Picture Heavy Post, you have been warned**
The event was held at a beautiful Hilton resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. This
was such an amazingly beautiful place, being from California originally but
currently living in Florida it really made me miss home and realize how much I
missed this beautiful scenery, not the heat or humidity but the beautiful
views.
Our first event was to visit the
Journey Station. Richard describes it as the place where AMAZING happens,
and it certainly appears to be true. The facility is beautiful and well
staged to encourage inspiration and creativity. There were several clues
scattered around the rooms to hint at things we would find when the new
catalogue premiered the next day.
The staff was wonderful and presented
each of us with a goodie box, with some delicious treats.
Later that day, we finalized our registration and received our Goodie Bags.
Wow. They were beautiful blue bags with zipper matching bags
inside. And Wow again, as they were stuffed full of new stamp sets, card
kits and more. Such a generous gifting of supplies and feeling very
grateful.
The next day the excitement had mounted as we prepared to begin the
convention. There was music, dancing and more as we waited for the
President, Richard Garay to enter. As new to the Fun Stampers Journey as I am
and to conventions it was very interesting t see everything from the
introverted person such as myself perspective. I mean I felt like I was waiting
for a rock-star! To hear his story, the story of his family all that they went
through and what it took to start Fun Stampers Journey was just inspiring and
it made a connection with me and I thank him for sharing their story. I knew then
that I had chosen a wonderful company to be a part of.
We had the privilege of viewing new products, and watching so many helpful
demos.
Finally it was time to release the new catalogue. There were no
disappointments, as the offerings are way above expectations. We have so
many gorgeous new stamp sets, an awesome new punch system, so many
embellishments and more. The new items will be released in waves
approximately every two weeks this summer. You may view the new catalogue

There were some very fun contests between Journey Crew members and we
did our best to cheer for our team.
We enjoyed a delicious banquet dinner where we learned what others had
accomplished this past year with FSJ. The food was top notch, and the
program inspiring. I stood in line to have my picture taken with Richard
and Gaby, I had seen them many times throughout convention but I did not want
to intrude on their personal time.
I had such a wonderful time meeting new people and hearing the passion and
stories that everyone has for Fun Stampers Journey and Richard Garay and his
family. It was also VERY nice to meet my 2nd downline team member
Sharon! Hi Sharon!
I am looking forward to next year, watching how Fun Stampers Journey grows,
and to see the lovely people I met this year at Convention 2016!
