Next year.s convention is July18-20 2013...who will join me? Stay tuned for some exciting news I have to share!

Lost count of what day this is.

What day is today? Friday? I've lost track.
While standing in line for general session this morning, I saw Ronda Wade. We look good!

 This is Kerry Waterman, on Kay's team from Newfoundland. She is stunning! and we agreed we are both going to San Diego next year! That is where the weekend getaway is.

A Hallowe'en swap...sorry if this is a repeat pic...I have lost track of everything! I even missed my WOW card swap yesterday :(

Tonight, I have a MDS class. I will try to take pics of swaps, and what I won from Prize Patrol! (I have won every convention I've been to). Also, I have exciting news to share!
Sorry I do not have a Fun and Fabulous to share this Friday...but these Hallowe'en treats are cute!

Convention...Awards Night

Awards Night is a convention highlight. We get to recognize those who earned milestones, and awards within the company. Cynthia Millan is a demo from Ottawa who, in her first year, has earned: Rising Star (only one in Canada this year!), Achiever's Bonus, Grand Vacation, and Founder's Circle. This is HUGE! Earlier today, she asked if I would be her guest for awards night, and sit with her in the reserved seating. Here she is having walked on stage for Achiever's.

This is the exclusive Founder's Circle bag.

 Here are 2 fellow demos from Ottawa, Melissa and her downline Alice, both looking GORGEOUS!

 Here I am with the MEN of SU! I am between KevinTheesen and Dennis Cochran, and I do not remember the third gentleman's name.

Kay Smith texting her daughter Marlayne to let her know ahe is #2 in CANADA!
I have uploaded TONS of photos on Facebook, so find me on facebook and friend me! Follow me on Facebook for tons of updates.
Remember, Stamper's Club members are getting a surprise from me from Momento Mall...if you want to join one of my clubs, send me an email!

Momento Mall!

Momento Mall! One of the highlights of Convention. People actually line up for HOURS to get in first! I am not one of these ladies. Here are pics of some of the merchandise I purchassed at Momento Mall.

One of the tote bags...there are different designs this year.

More swag!
This is my favourite thing...it's a day planner (monthly also). It has magnetic closure.

This is it open.

OK, I will post more tomorrow...but you can also check out my facebook for more pics!

Salt Lake City (Day 2)

First, I apologize for the poor picture quality...the light was wrong in the Convention Centre. :)
Above, a pic of Kay Smith and her team from Newfoundland.
Below, a pic of me and Kay.

THE BAG! It is the one from the back of the Stampin' Success magazine!

This is the backdrop to where Shelli Gardner will be sitting for photo ops.

OK, so according to the sign, I AM Canada. Wow, that's a lot of responsibility!
I went to Momento Mall, but the line was at least an hour long. So I will go later. I am off to the Riverton Tour, and will post more later this afternoon, so check back!

Salt Lake City Day 1 (a little shopping)

 With an hour delay on our first flight, we actually DID make to Chicago to make our connecting flight to Salt Lake City! Josee Smuck was on my flight from Ottawa and we met up with other demos on the way to SLC.
Supper at The Olive Garden (of course!) and met 2 demos from Windsor area and they joined me.
Went shopping at the Gateway Mall. Found a store called Christopher and Banks...and they were having a sale! There were lots of othere demos there (saw Kay Smith from Newfoundland) and we were encouraging each other, trying on and modelling. I ended up purchassing some pretty awesome clothes. all at 33% off!

 Then they wrap the stuff up like it's your birthday! So you get to unwrap it all, and it's so fun.

So here are my clothes: 3 tops, a pair of jeans and 2 pairs of earrings. I'll be wearing them this week!
So, tomorrow is bag pick-up and Momento Mall! Be sure to check back for updates and pics!
Happy stamping!

Fun and Fabulous Friday...BOO!

 I LOVE these little guys! This is a stamp set from the upcoming Holiday mini catalogue. It is called Googly Ghouls. The Designer series Paper is called Howlstooth and Scaringbone (LOVE that!)

So, it is my first Friday night Crop...here is my downline Jeannette working hard on her cards.
Look at my stamp area...there's barely enough room for me to stamp. I take up so much space! ;)

My Friday Night Crops are open to all!

Have fun creating!

Butterflies!

Love this card!

I am a fan of butterfly stamps. I have quite a few of them. When I saw this set in the catalogue, I was very excited...it has a matching punch! The green butterfly on this card is actually punched out and popped up. This is a favourite workshop card of mine.
Remember...this Friday July 13 is my first BFF! (Bring a Friend Friday) It is a Friday night crop from 6:00pm to midnight! Cost is only 10.00 (or 5.00 if you are a Stamper's Club member) and includes coffee or tea and access to my stamps, ink, punches and Big Shot. Come on by!

Fun and Fabulous Friday...Christmas Snowflakes

For today's Fun and Fabulous Friday, I chose inspiration from my friend Julie...only I used the brand spanking new Snowflake Soiree (from the upcoming Holiday Mini)...consider this a sneak peek!
The colour scheme is Cherry Cobbler and Pink Pirouette...kind of different for Christmas, but it appeals to me. I added a sparkle by way of Rhinestone Jewels on the "i" of Believe.
I want to try this with Midnight Muse and Silver...that would be gorgeous! Why don't you try this card at home...use any stamp set and colour combo...play around and get creative!
Make sure you check out my NEW class schedule! For a description of all the different classes I offer, click HERE. To register for any class, send me an email!

Holiday Mini Order is HERE!

Oh, how I love new stuff! I ordered so much from the Holiday mini and I will be using the new product in my upcoming classes, Stamper's Clubs and workshops! I am also preparing for my Christmas in July card class (July 29). I am SO excited with the Christmas and Hallowe'en stuff, and even the new, gorgeous Hanukkah set! If you would like to see this stuff in person, send me an email! We can definitely set a date for your own private class.
