Founders Circle Day 1 part one

I can't believe it is here, Founder's Circle is amazing and I am only a few hours into it. Stampin' Up! Started my trip off in style by fling me into St. George. Living in Utah I have only ever driven to St. George, so this was kinda fun to hop on a little plane (I do mean little) and fly to my destination.






I thought it was fun to get off the plane and have somebody holding up a sign waiting for me.
We are staying at the Courtyard Marriott. They have reserved the entire hotel, so we can feel free to roam where we would like.

The "gathering place" is a place where we can sit and relax, talk stamp and snack. Candy carts, jars and dishes are all over.....mmmmmm!!!! I just ate the best chocolate covered toffee ever!


When we arrived our luggage was taken strait to our rooms and we went to the Gathering place to pick up our getting to know you game. We were given 5 butterflies of the same color in a little net and asked to answer the question on them. After they were filled out we have to trade them with 5 other people who all have different colors. When we turn in 5 different colors we get a surprise, I can't wait!

then we headed to the lunch buffet and ate a super delicious taco salad created just the way we wanted it!
The gathering place has couches to lounge on that are decorated with pillows sporting the cottage wall Designer series paper patterns! I think I am in love!

After visiting with some fun people I went up to my room (yes I get my own) and found it to be personalized with my name on the front door!
this is the view from my window, one of two pools that the hotel has.
