Home!

No cards today, a few pictures to show and a story to tell. You all know how I love to tell stories!  Stampin' Up is a fabulous Company to work for and the BEST part is the Friends you make not only in customers, that would be you gals reading this blog,  But also all the friends from Convention.  Long distance friends that LOVE what we do and get to share this great experience that is Convention!! 

My Story starts in Denver Airport.  I met this Demo last year at Convention and we shared the flight home from SLC to Denver.  I get off my first flight in Denver and headed to my next gate and there was Sherri!!  We picked right up where we left off a year ago!!  Sherri had a High B Boarding pass so I saved her a seat and we were in SLC before we knew it.  So nice to catch up and share our SU experiences in person!
 I do not have a picture of Sherri, but here is a swap she shared and you can see her name tag.  Her Husband is a Farmer and we share so many life lines it is scary!! We hung out together the first night at the paper pumpkin party and crossed paths several times during convention.  SO nice to get a random HUG when you are in a SEA of 4,000 screaming demos!

This little owl is a decorated Pillow Box, Sherri had just swapped for.  I will try to recreate in a few days and feature.

 

My new Friend and Roommate Tricia exceeded all my expectations!  Such a warm and Friendly gal!  This was Tricia's first Convention and I think I was able to enhance that experience with some tips and tricks to navigate the crowds.  Tricia was the only one in our  group to win Prize patrol.  Here is her pic with her prizes!

 

I can't tell you what Tricia won as it is new product from the Holiday Catty, but it was a stamp set and MATCHING Framelits!!  Woo Hoo, several of those coming in the new catty.  And as you can see Tricia is a PURPLE lover!!  Yes we have lots in common and I can't wait to work with her to better our Business and grow our Friendship.

 

One of my Favorite eating spots is Blue Lemon, if you follow me on FB you saw all kinds of food pics.  The last night of Convention we wanted to eat out, but Bonnie and Mona were exhausted.  So Tricia and I and another new BFF Rachel went to Blue Lemon to have one more Artichoke Spinach dip!  Rachel is from the Austin area and a downline of Mona.  This was her FIRST Convention also.  We ate and then walked thru the City Creek shopping area, walked thru the Church gardens and toured the BeeHive house (Brigham Young).   Here is a picture of Rachel and Tricia.

 

We had so much fun and hope to stay connected and grow our SU businesses so we can earn trips and re-connect in person every year! 

 

Time to get back to the daily job, more news coming tomorrow and the weekly deals!  I will be sharing swaps and adding lots of new events to my calendar.
