An Awesome Gift for my Team Members

Let it be known that I live a charmed life with amazing friends and family. I arrived in Orlando for Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 OnStage event earlier this week with cute pillow boxes that would soon be filled with some great gifts for my incredible team members who were joining me there (I shared those pillow boxes yesterday – you can see them here). The gifts that would fill the boxes arrived in Orlando from Australia.

On the first day of the event, I gifted each of my team members with a Pool Party lanyard so we’d all stand out in the crowd. While I whipped up 35 pillow boxes before the event, my lanyards arrived with Louise Sharp (my favorite thing about Australia). Her Mom made the lanyards for my team (so she’s giving Louise a run for her money in the “favorite thing about Australia” competition).

Louise’s Mom is often visiting her when I chat with her through Facetime – such a joyful woman with many talents! Louise and I both received much of our artistic talents from our moms. Here’s a sweet picture of Louise and her adorable Mom, Phyl Willetts:

I was so happy to share these lanyards with my awesome team members – and it’s made more special by the fact that they were created with love from a special friend.

Thanks for stopping by today!

  7. How awesome is that! Love the lanyards, the pins and the boxes you put them in. You do lead a blessed life Brian but I must say you are one of the few that realizes that fact. Hopefully you are having such a fabulous weekend you are wishing it wouldn’t end. Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to hear more about it.

  8. Such a fun team effort for your team! You continue to be an inspiration in so many ways to us all. Hopefully the cards for the swap will arrive from CA unscathed, since both No Cal and So Cal have been burning for a few days. We are lucky our home was untouched, many lost all.
