Finally I had a minute to post the rest of my Stampin' Up! Convention pictures, yeah!!! I've been dying to share these. I've posted a few of my display samples on my Facebook Page (click here to view > )

Last night was one of my favorite nights, my Team Stamp It demonstrator meeting! It was also a convention recap, my friends Dawn Gutro and Tami Morken spoke about their convention experiences. You could almostfeel and catch some of the excitement we felt being there. It was not our traditional demo meeting in that it was sooooo hot in my meeting room that we opted to hang outside inside until it cooled off a bit! So fun!! Another fun part of any stamping event is swapping. At the meeting we not only swapped our own cards, but we swapped "swaps" and got to see what everyone else got for inspiration!! And I loved that our group is growing, it was fantastic to meet the new members of our family and share together.

My favorite part of going to Stampin' Up!'s annual convention is seeing everyone! I get to see gals in my demo group that don't live close, and sometimes this is the only time we see each other in person. Every year I look forward to new gals in the group coming and joining the fun! Speaking of newbies to convention, there was a march on stage for convention First Timers and I think I heard over 1/3 of the attendees were there for the first time. That is just plain AWESOME! One of the highlights of this convention was walking across stage with 3 members of my demo group for recruiting!! Congratulations to Dawn Gutro, Liz Miller and Oksana Semenska!! I'm so proud of you gals!! I wish I had a photo, sadly, along with being great recruiters they were also the photo takers in the group hehehe. Here is a group shot of us all at dinner.
