It looked like a school. It's in a beautiful setting. It was about an hours drive from where we were staying. But, wait. I forgot to tell you something. Kylie is better! Yay! This is the centre from where Stampin' Up is organized and products are designed and shipped within the US and Canada.
When we arrived, all 400 staff members were on hand to welcome in a large central space.
At the bottom of the central void, there is a beautiful garden. Here are a few pics taken there;
Me and Kylie. We are both dressed by Tommy Hilfiger (clothes bought yesterday)
With Sue Madex (who some of you may remember as Miss Madex).
Louise and Daniel from NSW.

It is such a beautiful space. We then had some group photos. This is a photo of all the achievers from Australia whom Stampin' Up flew to Utah with their guests.
Spot Kylie.
We then broke up into groups to look at different aspects of the operation.
Kylie's dream! Colored card stock as far as the eye could see.
The packing line (semi automated) bringing craft products to you.
A MASSIVE operation.
Then we had lunch and chatted some Stampin' Up identities.
Amy Swartz and Shelli Gardener (co-founder and CEO)
With Shannon West - on the design team
With Brian Pilling and Shannon West
Then the achievers and guests split up and the achievers did.....
Make-and-take while the guests went.....
Something new from SU
Then, we came back into SLC for shopping and dinner.
Where we had dinner. They serve more than cheesecake.
An awesome light feature in the restaurant.
And, then, after a massive day, we arrive home at 9:30 pm and have this beautiful scene to greet us at the St Regis
And! Kylie was left another pillow gift
Another MASSIVE day tomorrow. Brekky is at 4:30 and we are flying to a place called Kanab where we will see where the products are actually made.
Thanks for reading.
Ooh .... love, love, love the bag!!!!!
