What fun I had at OnStage in Strasbourg last week. An exciting new catalogue, some fabulous giveaways, fun crafting, and amazing swaps which you can see in the Live video from today (below). It was fantastic to see old, and meet new, friends. I’m already looking forward to Cologne next year!

I arrived the night before On Stage started which gave me a morning to wander round the city and see some sights. I was “adoioted” by the lovely Stacey March and her team and joined them to visit the stunning cathedral and its astronomical clock. Then we simply had to go and sample some French patisserie which was absolutely delicious! Then I went off to explore the Petit France area with its beautiful cobbled streets and covered bridges.
After a bit of shopping then a walk back to the hotel to work off some of those calories, the fun started! On Stage lasted from Thursday afternoon through to Saturday teatime. We got copies of the new catalogue (it is fabulous!), saw several stunning presentations of new products, heard some updates and news from Stampin Up!, had a party, swapped to our hearts content and took part in Pay and Play where I made my first ever scrapbook page. I love the bundle I got – Turtely Awesome. We also had some breakout sessions in our language groups.
It was great to see old UK friends, make new ones, and also meet up with some friends from Germany and the Netherlands too! After On Stage I had a couple of days back in Stuttgart and met up with some wonderful new friends there to have a meal and do some crafting together.
There is so much more at On Stage – display boards of many of the new products, plus boards where the projects made by the demonstrating demonstrators are displayed – so many wonderful things! Here are just a few to whet your appetite for the new catalogue goodies:
One of the best things about On Stage is that we take swaps which helps you meet other people and provides loads of ideas for future projects. I received over fifty! In my Tuesday Live I showed some of the swaps and also some new products – the video is below:
