Convention Happenings - part 1
July 31, 2008
In the airport on Tuesday, we spotted demonstrator friends Lynne, Cindee, Mary and Elise - check out their super cute totes for their swap cards! (made by Cindee)
Finishing swaps on the plane...
CHECK THIS OUT... yesterday when we met up in the hotel lobby to go register for convention (AND GET THE NEW CATALOG.. WHOOOHOO!) Sharon and Ellen had made custom shirts.. Follow me to Patty Bennett.... toooooooooooo fun.. they are SO DEAR!! Luv you, gals!
Joy and I looking at the NEW CATALOG!!! Did I mention it's FABULOUS? Well, what else would it be? :)
and THIS was a total shock.. when I checked in at the Awards booth, I was given a pink leather purse and told I was in the Founders Circle!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh.. I don't know what award I earned, but I'll find out tonight at Awards Night!! I'm kinda freaked out about it... I don't know what I did to earn it!? yikes!
And here is part of our group (in our Luv 2 Stamp Group t-shirts) at the Stampin' Up! headquarters in Riverton:
The new catalog is super fantastic... lots of great new sets, and the new Designer Papers are FABULOUS! Fun new ribbons... new punches, more Carousel Notes in the new In Colors.. fabulous samples.... oh ya.. I'm in trouble!
I'll check back in with you later.. have a great day,
Patty

It was soooo exciting to see you int he top 100 demos...then Advisory Board! Ahh...I'm sure you're on cloud 9. :) You're not lucky, as I hope you know, you have worked very hard and have been so kind to always answer questions and help out fellow demos. They were very wise to pick you to be part of the Advisory Board.
CONGRATULATIONS, Patty!

Hi Patty! I was standing in the awards booth line when you got your pink bag and the news that you were in the top 100 demonstrators. Congrats to you!
