Pootlers Team Retreat Gifts and Swaps – #1 Stampin’ Up! UK Demonstrator Pootles
First up, thank goodness I got this video filmed on Monday before I lost my voice on Tuesday! That would have been a problem! If you didn’t see yesterday’s croaky play button unboxing, go and check it out!!!!
But, I’m thrilled to share 99.9% of the gorgeous goodies and gifts I received last weekend at our team retreat. The other 0.01% was found in my suitcase (thank you Kaye and Karen!), so I’ll have to add those to next week’s video!
My team are frankly quite remarkable, and they do me proud every time we get together. We had 7 projects this time, the most amazing Inspiration Tables (I mention Jayne in the video, I’ll add photos of hers below), and just so much fun and laughing, and yes, a few happy tears too.
And of course, we did craft swaps too.
I had brought along with me a whole load of goodies and products for people to help themselves to and then we had an ‘honour box for £1’ where they could ‘buy’ any of my logo’d gifts and kits etc too. I have promised to bring aaaaalllll my logo bags to the next event!
And of the projects, 6 of them were designed by me (you saw one last Monday, the other 2 are still to come) and I had given all of the team some of the products needed, they were in the little black bags. And of course, for those who helped out with projects or games or inspiration etc, they got a gift too!
These are a mixture of amazing gifts as well as swaps, and just, my heart sings every time I see my team. They truly are amazing! It felt like every time I returned to my table, there was another gift on there waiting for me!
I can’t wait for our next event, we are already booked in the diary for October!
