Welcome Stampin' Friends!
I had so much fun at convention this year. It is always a blast. I can only describe it like this, remember when you were like 5 years old and that feeling you got on Christmas eve, anticipating Christmas and then the actual day being MAGIC? Well, that is how I feel about Convention! So, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite things about this years convention....
1. My friend Janet's super cool Designer Paper Hat!
2.This dress made with Stampin' Up's new fabric, Timeless Portrait #122337, Made by my friend Britiney!!! Who is pictured below in black...
3. Quality time with friends, that's Britiney and me, she is one of my besties!
4.Walking across the stage with my downline Marissa and side line Cheryl, not sure who the gal on the far left is, but she is cute and excited.
5. Winning the new Simply Scored, yeah, this might be my favorite thing about convention! I have been waiting for years for us to get a scoring product, I am super excited!
6. My downline Georgie (in the yellow) meeting her blog friend Brandi Wiggins, I think they were separated at birth!
7.Shelli's demo is always something I look forward to, this year she demoed with Shalae who rocked it! I loved it and I got my new all time favorite quote from Shalae "No one is going to die and no one is going to get pregnant" which is what the stage manager said to her before she went on to help calm her nerves. I found my self quoting it this morning when I was talking to my friend about the state I found my house after being at convention for 4 days and my husband left to fend for himself and the girls with out me, the house is a reck, but ... "No one died and no one got pregnant!" See how it could work for so many situations!
8. I loved Donna Griffith's demo!!! But what I loved most is when she chatted with me at the +Fun class and told me how she keeps trying to steal my stuffed owl that is on display at the home office, I demoed it at the Boise half day Regional Seminar, which Donna was at. I will be making Donna her own owl and sending it to her!!! Check out my owls here!
9. The Stampin' Up! displays of our newest products always rock! I loved this shabby chic dresser, made into a chicken coup complete with paper chicks, eggs and hens!
10. The vintage bike was fun too, this is Patty, my downline, pretending to take it for a spin! She kept us laughin' that day!
11. Okay, I had to be silly too!
12. My downline might be the queen of silly, she was super excited to walk across the stage for 5 years, can you tell which one she is?
13.Shannon West and Santa!
14.Carrie Cudney's demo mixing paper crafting with CANDY! Who would not love that!
15. Stampin' Up!'s Convention Highlight Video set to the Convention 2011 theme song!!!
