Convention was Awesome
Hello I have been MIA for a while. Summer has made me way to laid back!
I got back from convention a few weeks ago and had the most wonderful time. Last year I set a goal of bringing one of my down line (stamping Up demo) with me to convention. At that time I didn't even have a down line. My friend Marilyn made it possible! Stamping has taught me so many artistic lessons but the circle of friends I have met has truly made it special. As you can see below Marilyn and I had way too much fun. To get a small idea of the fun imagine 3000 women at a giant pajama party for a week. Not only did we have so much fun sharing and swapping cards(I swapped well over 500) We get free stamps, special deals and lots of other perks! Why wouldn't you want to become a demonstrator as well! Call me and we can talk! 315 727 7288. Check out the free stuff in our hands! A last minute gift on the last day.Thanks so much Marilyn for making my goal come true!
