🎄 Gingerbread lovers… this one is delicious!

At my Holiday Retreat in Union, Washington, we made these adorable gingerbread gift/food tags and matching cards — the perfect finishing touch when you’re bringing a plate of cookies to friends or neighbors. (Extra cute if they’re gingerbread cookies… obviously. 😍)

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gingerbread Man Bundle (English), Item #165785 — tons of mix-and-match dies for hats, cocoa mugs, candy canes, and all the sweet details.

BackStage 2026 in Las Vegas was part leadership tune-up, part girlfriends’ getaway—and it filled my creative cup right up. 💜

BackStage is a special event for Stampin’ Up! leaders, and they really spoiled us. We recognized and celebrated top achievers, enjoyed classes on time management and work–life harmony, how to connect better with people, and practical ways to grow our creative businesses while still keeping it FUN. Key speakers this year included Megan Sumrell on time management and Work–Life Harmony, and Riaz Meghji with a powerful session on building better relationships and conversations. I love that we get real training we can bring home to our classes, events, and teams.

Amy and I were able to enjoy the surroundings—we found great places to eat and even went hiking the day before the event started. We shared a condo near the convention and hosted a cozy night in with my downline—pizza, projects, and pals. I also met new leaders from all over and came home with fresh ideas and new friends.

One of my favorite parts was the Frontier Farewell party: Western theme, “cowgirl at heart” vibes, country music, and line dancing. We got to decorate our own cowboy hats, snack on yummy small bites and sweet treats, and unwind after all the classes. Between the fun décor, the dancing, and all the little details, it felt like one big thank-you party for the leaders. It was the perfect, spoiled-rotten ending to an inspiring, creative few days. 🥰
