Coluzzle Discontinued by Supplier
January 28, 2009
We (as demonstrators) were notified that our manufacturer of the Coluzzle has recently discontinued both the Starter Set (item 102264) and the Refill Blades (item 102721) as seen on page 188.
We no longer have any inventory of the Refill Blades, and they are now unavailable for order.
We will continue to sell the Coluzzle Starter Set until inventory has been depleted.
So make a note in your catalog and if you’ve had the Coluzzle on your wish list now would be the time to take action!
Top Note with Box and Leadership DVD
January 27, 2009
Monday was an exciting day for me! I actually made something! I know I can’t believe it myself 
I found this stinking cute idea on a blog over the weekend (and failed to note the addy - will do so in the future) so this isn’t my original design! BUT I did think it was so cute I had to replicate it. Of course this one was thrown together in like 10 minutes because I was DETERMINED I would make something yesterday so don’t judge me for perfection
How cute is this? Now of course I used retired DSP and um, well my reds don’t match (must organize ribbon next) but the IDEA, THE IDEA PEOPLE! It’s FABULOUS!!! And let’s not let this be left out - it’s a box - a box and I made it correctly the FIRST time WOOHOOO!!
Okay too many exclamation points in that post for my taste. Anyway, you have to agree that the possibilities are endless with this little cutie. LOVE IT!
After I was so delighted with myself over actually crafting for fun - I still am in shock - I had a UPS delivery that was unexpected. How can that happen? I watch for shipments like a HAWK! But it wasn’t product. It was this…
Oh my, it’s my voice from my Leadership presentation (along with all the other speakers). I really debated on listening to it, okay for about a half a second. I mean if this is available to anyone who attended then I might as well hear it myself right? So I fire this beauty up and low and behold it not only has my voice but VIDEO also! OH MY WORD, is there anything worse than watching yourself on video? I think not.
Patrick is excited because we had originally planned for him to attend with me. But then of course that small thing called work came up and he had to stay home. So he was bummed that he wouldn’t actually get to see me embarass myself in front of everyone speak. Now he too can partake of the excitement that is Stacie on stage - hahahaha.
I realized while watching that I didn’t really smile a lot - what’s with that? I am a happy person, I promise. So to all who don’t know me, I do smile, honest.
Leadership 2009 - Disney Part 2
January 24, 2009
It took us less time to spend our day in Disney than it’s taken for me to get this post together!
Okay so next up we went to Animal Kingdom as presented by Vanna White…
Oh wait, that’s me 
On to the animals…
Luckily these two were contained or I would have been VERY scared!
My memory is hazy but I think we rode Mt. Everest first. I loved the ride even when it went backwards and I was scared silly! However, take a look at this picture and imagine yourself in a car at the very top of the peak and you look around to see NOTHING around you.
That’s right - it’s just you in the car and the drop straight down. I’ll admit I’m a chicken, I closed my eyes as tight as possible until we started moving again. Oh and it’s interesting to note that I rode by myself for most of the rides allowing Julie and Georgia to be together - I’m so sweet. Most of the rides it was fine and I rode alone. However, this ride was popular (and again hazy memory here) we may have gone the single rider route to get through more quickly.
(edited to add: NO, NO, NO - sudden memory recall I think this is the ride that Georgia worked her Disney magic. As we were about to go through the single rider line Georgia sweet talked some Fast Passes out of some very innocent Disney dude - I didn’t ask what she traded for the tickets :lol: kidding Georgia, ya know I LOVE ya!)
Anyway, whatever/however it happened I ended up with this dude with me. It was sooooooo funny! Julie said that when they told him to get in the queue with me the look on his face was priceless. He acted as if I were diseased so I didn’t even try to show him any Southern hospitality since he flinched every time I looked at him! When we were at the top of the peak he was hanging out his side of the car and yelling in some unknown language back to some of his friends. Um, okay. I wish I could have snapped a picture of him and all his uniqueness but he was terrified enough as it was.
Next up we rode the safari thingy since Georgia had not experienced such excitement in her previous Disney days. It was one of the few rides we were able to do with the girls when we went! I have animal pictures but apparently they aren’t on this laptop. So imagine wild life pictures

Okay enough of those savage beasts.
Finally we finished the round with Epcot our original meeting point that morning. We walked around through all the countries just taking it easy since we had made our goal! Oh and Julie did allow us to have a photo…
All in all it was a fabulous day! I never dreamed we would get it all done but Julie was true to her word and amazing in her abilities of leading the clueless “ahead of the surge” the whole day long! Love ya Julie!

Leadership 2009 The Disney Adventure
January 15, 2009
Well, let me just say I never dreamed that Julie Salva would be the Disney freak that she is! I know from our last trip to Leadership (2008 in Palm Springs) that she’s a pop culture wacko. I discovered this after she told me of our next day’s plans which were all based on Britney Spears sightings hahahaha.
Anyway, Georgia Giguere and I decided we were brave enough to go the distance with Julie and her crazy plan of doing all adult rides in all 4 parks in one day. I knew for certain that we would die but it actually turned into a wonderful day. Other than requesting permission to use the restroom, get water or take pictures, it was a fabulous adventure!
Of course it began with me oversleeping and missing their FREE shuttle to Epcot. So I had a super expensive cab ride but managed to meet up with them on time. If only I had slept the night before we traveled I might not have overslept. Oh well, I still made it.
So here are some pictures of us in Disney mode - Julie really didn’t allow many photos much to my chagrin!
Epcot - the beginning (all the parks still had Christmas decorations)
Our 1st ride in the front of the monorail
It’s interesting to note here that Georgia didn’t know about “Disney Magic”. It’s sufficient to say that she does now! We were blessed with the magic all day. We rode with the engineer/driver/pilot/whatever of the monorail twice. This picture was taken by the first driver. The next pic is of our 2nd driver.
He was quite funny and also quite scared when we announced loudly “We are here WITHOUT CHILDREN!”. So he basically laughed at our insanity during the ride which was fine by us.
I did manage to get Julie to stop for a photo upon arrival at Magic Kingdom. I love the Mickey in the background…
And of course each park has their own Christmas themed tree - very cool to see….
Well cool until Julie jumps into the shot. She thinks we all need to see her beauty frequently
We LOVED the rocking Roller Coaster
While in line for the coaster we eyed our next ride nervously. We could see the doors opening and hear the people screaming. Of course then Kim texts me that someone lost their FEET on that ride. Julie, knower of all things Disney, denied that accusation. Georgia decided that she might have an actual heart attack if we rode it. We debated it the whole time waiting for the coaster.
Georgia looks as if she might cry. Julie looks a little evil
Our “elevator dude” and of course Julie is getting her mug in the photo. Funny side note - elevator dude was quick to tell me he lost his real name tag and that his name isn’t Cameron. Wonder if he just said that because we were so crazy and he knew he’d end up on a blog like this ?!?!
Here’s our picture while we were on the ride - yes we are too cheap to buy the real photo - I snapped this one as we went through the lobby/store area.
Okay I’m going to end this post here. We still have Animal Kingdom to cover and a brief trip into MGM. I’ll do those in the next round.
