Hi Stampers:
Today will be the last founders circle post for at least a couple days so I can bring you my videos for the week 🙂
PJ party was Friday Night and I started loosing my voice I sounded like kermit the frog that night YUCK! anywho Update today: I still have no voice But I have a cold so thats double yucky .
anyway Lets talk about Founder's circle highlights of places we went and things we saw shall we 🙂
On the list of places to go was to visit Kanab Friday morning.
This is the one place I was so excited to go and see . Kanab is where SU! manufacturing facility is and we got to see how a Stamp set is made from start to finish.some of us even got to cut the rubber and box sets sooo funny how slow we were compared to the SU! employees that do this everyday .
I Just love that all our Rubber stamp sets are made right here in the USA
Oh my gosh if you only knew what there is to make 1 stamp set I am sure you would be amazed as I was and I have such a deeper appreciation of how things work on that end then I have ever had before .
We were not allowed to take photos of the
actual areas where the magic takes place But did get some photos of
Shelli's apartment on the top floor which is where people stay from corp and whatever else
they want to use it for . The apartment just screams
Shelli everywhere so beautiful and of course one of the
highlights before & after the tour is to head down to the famous SU! rock
and get your photo taken by it .
One of the cuttest moments when we 1st arrived at kanab was we were directed to the restrooms since they knew we all really had to "go" since it is a 2 hour rode trip there BUT before he pointed us in the direction he mentioned that they converted the Mens restrooms into Ladies just for US! OH How sweet is that .. NO not a Huge conversion Just a little small fine detail that most would over look ( see photo ) So Awesome !
After the tour we headed down the road to Kanab Park for a catered lunch YUMMY!!
Notice the super cute busckets which went with the whole theme the 5 days of Founder's circle~ Just darling .
Then after lunch we walked over to the park where all the scrap rubber SU! donated to make as a cusion under the play items of course this was way cooler with my shoes off so I had to jump in with my bare feet and feel all that rubber between my toes :) talk about a awesome and weird experience at the same time .
Then after photos were taken and rubber being tossed in the air we headed to a little country store called Dennys Wigwam and shopped for a little while .
I snaped this photo of the girls relaxed in the big chair how cute are they 🙂
This was Just one of the fabulous things we did at Founder's Circle which was a HUGE highlight for me and everyone that goes .

What fun you all had!!! Wonderful pictures! LOVE the bucket lunch too!
Sorry you feel cruddy now. That always happens to me when I get back from a trip too. Hugs!!!
Looks like another wonderful day Dawn! I think it is funny that Shelli has a name tag on…I think everyone knows who she is! LOL!
Aren’t you glad you did your toenails??? Thanks for the photos for those of us who will NEVER get there in person!
That is so cool Dawn! I’m from Salt Lake City, UT. I’ve heard a lot about the headquarters there in Kanab. I’ve been to Kanab but not to see the headquarters. There is also a a huge warehouse here in Salt Lake that is not to far from me that Stampin has also built. Shelli is an amazing lady. Very giving. Thanks for sharing the fun that you had along with pictures. It was fun to see St. George again. It has been awhile since I’ve been there.
Thanks to for the videos. I love watching them and learning from you. Also your voice. I love your voice! It is so bubbly and cute. I am a avid SU! stamper. I’ve tried others and nothing beats SU!.
