Halloween 2008 (Stampin' Up! Style)
Okay, so today was Halloween at work. Seriously, SU! goes all out for Halloween... let's face it, we're creative people so we love to play pretend. :)
There was a costume contest that was just... HILARIOUS! Some departments went all out by decorating their cubicles and some even performed for the rest of us down in the atrium at lunch.
Anyhow, here are some of the photos I snapped today. And don't forget the video at the end of this post... Mwa ha ha! Blackmail material, right?
EDITED TO ADD: Nope, I'm not in any of these pictures. I didn't dress up... I'm lame like that. But it was fun to see everyone else! :)

The photos and video are great, Kristina! How fun! Thanks so much for sharing with us! Happy Halloween!
Thanks for sharing!
Greetings,
Ilse
Oh my, I've just watched the video at work where I have NO sound. I cannot tell you how funny that Photography department looks without sound - it was hilarious. I can't wait to get home for the full sound version. Too funny.
Hope you have a great Halloween.
What a fun place to work! Makes me love SU! even more. Thanks for sharing. But what I really want to know is... what is the important deadline that keeps you at work late? (Can you tell I'm a demo and I'm desperate for SU! gossip!) :)
So much fun! Thanks for sharing...it makes me remember that tomorrow on my way to town I had better pay attention to who (or what!) is driving each car around me!
Oooh... How fun! I want "Dorothy's" dress! Your face makeup looks great... I want to see pics of the rest of your outfit! Happy Halloween :O)
Oh how I would LOVE to work at the Home Office! Did any work get done?! Actually, who cares?! Our Aussie Aaron is an awesome Jedi ;o)
woo hoo what a lot of fun & I can see Emma & Arran from down under! doesn't look like they're working too hard.
TFS
Love it!! I watched this with my DD who is a huge Oz fan - made her day! Looks liek a great place to work :)
Love the video!
oh man, thanks for sharing that, that was hilarious! Nice to see Aaron joining in the fun too :-)
So fun! What did you dress as?
OMG... I so want to be a stick person... those are some great costumes!
At first I couldn't recognize if that was you in your spooky makeup. U have any pics in your full outfi? I'm sure the rest of us girlz want to see your creepy outfit! Luv that lashes!
Luv those cupcakes too!!! One of the nurses brought a whole bunch of goodies at the nurses lounge and i had to have one. ummmm yummy, creamy frosting!!
Wow...that is sure an energetic place....would love to see something like that for Halloween. Us teachers should think about putting on a show for the kids. They would love it.
That's awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Very Fun !!!
It looks like you had a fantastic day. I so wish we celebrated halloween here in Oz. Itwas great to see Aaron and Emma all dressed up! Definate blackmail material!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
I want to work for STAMPIN UP!!
Thanks for the photo's and video Kristina they were fantastic!!
LOL! that was really fun! especially like the triller!!
So funny. Girl, you work at a fun place!
That is so neat that Stampin' Up! really gets into Halloween. Great costumes.
Another reason to wish I WAS AN EMPLOYEE @ Stampin Up! How fun is that -- and you probably celebrated a day early -- cause you get this day off? Thanks for sharing! What a treat!
Looks like you guys had too much fun!! Love that -- so what happens today? Just a regular work day? I loves the stick person at the end!! That was great!!
I had heard Stampin' Up went all out at Halloween. That is just too hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. That was soooooo funny!
Your photos are very great. My children love them.
In Germany Holloween isn´t so crazy!!!

OH WOW! Thanks for letting us peek! You guys are so FUN!!!! You are the best for sharing this...can someone pass a cupckae pleeeeeeze! ~Donna
OH my gosh what a blast! Who wouldn't want to work w/all that fun! Happy Halloween! :)
OMGosh!!!! this is sooooo funny! I am in tears....
OH MY GOODNESS! Kristina, that video was hilarious!! Love it!
Have a goodie!
I was smiling the whole time I watched the video! =)
Your job and the people who work there ..ROCK. Wish I worked in a creative, progressive environment like that! Happy Halloween!
What a cool place you get to work in!!!! Also, whoever did the stick person costume...genius!!!
Oh, Kristina! Where do I start? Thank you so much for sharing this with us all!!! Your photos are (naturally) fabulous. The video is hilarious. I laughed so hard, I cried. How could you keep the camera steady? I could not have done it ... I would have been shaking from laughter. Your co-workers are so creative and funny. If you have to have a day job, SU absolutely wins hands down, for the best place to work. I already thought that, but this is the icing on the cupcake! Just two questions: Why was the celebration a day early and why didn't YOU dress up? Yes, I see your note about being lame and all that. Come on girl! ;-)
Happy Halloween!!!
Awesome!
This is the best coordinated work show I saw for halloween, the pictures are fantastic and the customes incredibles, but where is yours? Happy halloween sweety!
I wanna work at Stampin' Up! What fun!
So fun! The marketing team was very impressive! =) Love the stick person costume too.=)
That is funny, Halloween goes by unnoticed over here. And excuse me being Dutch, what was that what the photografy dep. did. Must be something American.
I enjoyed watching.
Eveline.
Kristina you are so lucky to be working in a place like SU. I love being a demonstrator but oh so wish I could be there with you guys. Looks like you all have such a good time and are cherished by Shelli!!!
How fun! It must be great to work in an environment like that!
Oh man, I want to work there!
Thanks so much for sharing your good time with us. It's fun for us demonstrators to see you having a great time!
Oh my gosh - I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself! Seriously. Thank you for my making my day!
I didn't know you worked AT SU!! That's awesome!!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
oh my, that was so hilarious! And I think that I may even have recognized a few faces in your photo section. How fun...thanks so much for sharing! Jan
Thank you so much for sharing these photos and especially the video!! How fun to see the inside of our wonderful company on Halloween!
Who won the contest?
Okay, so once I'm done being a full time mommy and can get a paying job I think I need to work where you work....
I just loved watching the video and seeing the pictures of everyone dressed up. It was awesome. I certainly wish I could have watched in person. You are a really great group at the home office and I for one appreciate EVERYTHING you do for us. Keep up the great work.

My birthday is on Halloween and it's my favorite time of year to have FUN!!!
Hi -
For the person from the Netherlands wondering about the photography department - they were singing "we represent the lollipop guild" from the movie the Wizard of Oz. They were dressed as Dorothy and a few of the dwarfs.
Very funny!
Jennifer
My goodness!! THis brings back so many memories.....growing up in the 80's! I used to love Micheal Jackson and the Thriller tape. LOL.
Thanks so much for sharing this, i really needed that smile! LOL. And I agree, I would love to work in the SU office! What a dream job!
Oh this was amazing and just made my day.. I even called DS to let them know how much I appreciate them. Thanks for capturing such great footage of the wonderful world of stampin'!
OK, I've made a decision. I'm moving to Utah so I can work at SU !!!

I am dying laughing over here! You guys have way too much fun at work!!!! Don't you have some stamps to design or new stuff to think of??? What a great place SU is! Thanks for sharing!
I was giggling so much that my husband came in to see what all the fun was. He got a kick out of the video clip too. I told him I wanted to move to Utah to work at Stampin' Up!
The SU! staff is incredible on all possible levels! I am so impressed with all of you. And I want to go work with you guys so bad!!!
I work with accountants. 'Nuff said.
*wink*
Cindy
That was hilarious! LOVED it! It's gotta be great working at Stampin Up! You are all so talented. Thanks for the laughs.
How fun was that?! I love it!
Oh, my gosh, Kristina. I was going to say what everyone else has already said. Work at SU has to be fun, fun, fun.
videos are TOO funny...thanks for the laugh! :)
Too funny, thanks for sharing
Oh my God, this is too funny! What a great place to work! Thanks for sharing!
This is wonderful!!! I SO NEED a T-shirt that says, "Danger, mouth speaks faster than brain!!!" THAT IS SO ME!!!!!!! Where can I get one??? HAHAHAHAHA
Thanks for sharing!

Video was a SCREAM. The Advertising Dept. really SOLD IT. Not only do I love your stamps...I love your STEPS. The Photography Dept. created a KODAK MOMENT. SU looks like a FRIGHTFULLY fun place to work.
That Shannon. . .she's HOT!!
Oh my word Kristina, these are fabulous! Awesome photos and Thriller was so well done! I can't believe these are the people behind my coveted stamps! NO....on second thought I can...and I'm glad about it!
Thanks for posting those beautiful photos, Kristina! I saw the Thriller dance upstairs and then in the atrium, but I still laugh every time I watch it. Marketing was a tough act to beat! Loved the lollipop guild and the trick or treater kids too and Jaron and his spikey hair (I wonder how many recognized him?) LOL I think you really captured the spirit of how huge Halloween is at SU!
For the person who wondered why it was a day earlier: we have a flexible schedule plan at SU where some people have alternating Fridays off. We had the party a day early to make sure everyone was there.
OMG!! The videos were hilarious!!! Such talented folks you work with!! As my upline says.... I WANNA WORK THERE!!!! All the pics were great, too! Thanks so much for sharing. I LOVE this company!!!!
Love it!!!! Makes me want to move to Utah and work for SU! What a super fun group. Thanks for sharing.
Whow, what a thrill or should I say thriller video, what a fun place to work, You guys rock! I want to move and work with you.
Great team!
My Demonstrator, Angie sent the link to me. Fun costumes, great video, and you all looked like you were having WAY too much fun to be at work. Lucky, Lucky, Lucky.
OK, I am SO ENVIOUS that you work for Stampin' Up! I love being a demonstrator but actually working in the corporate offices would be a dream come true!!! (especially in one of the design jobs)
Thank you for sharing your fun photos!!!! Oh, by the way, I love your blog!
Miss You Guys! Thanks for sharing!
I just caught your edit that you weren't in any of these pictures... the one labeled Shannon... I totally thought that was you!!!
OMG BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I laughed through the entire video!! So funny :D
What a hoot. I want to work there. Thanks for the wonderful laugh this morning. Thanks for always sharing.
Your blog is so entertaining and inspiring!
I want to come work there too!!!!!!! I would almost come do it for FREE! I love your blog!
Oh my goodness thats awesome!! Now that looks like a fun bunch of people to work with!!
Wow love that video. Not that many things make me laugh but this was hillarious. I SOO want to work for your co.
Oh my, highlight of my holiday! I had to watch Thriller again and again. Lovin' Stick Figure Girl. Yes creative types always have to get the urge out don't they? TFS
Looks like a fab day. We werent even allowed to get dressed up in our office and it was going to be for charity as well. How boring we are over here in the UK. * Smiles*
