More Convention Pictures!

We took a little time out of our busy schedules to grab a bite to eat....downtown Denver took us to a very interesting little 50's diner called Johnny Rockets....






















This is what we were greeted with when we entered....the entire waitstaff dancing to Saturday Night Fever!!!! It was hilarious!















The place was pretty calm until the executives from Stampin' Up! came in for supper......they were pretty ROWDY!!!!

















And of course....we got our waitress to take a picture of the three of us for "scrapbooking" purposes!!! L to R - Terri, Me & Pam

NEW Stamp Set Cards!!!!

I'm gearing up for CONVENTION!!!!!! Leaving next Wednesday for DENVER!!!! The Zoofari, Pick a Petal & Baroque Motif cards were made for my Mystery Hostess evenings on Monday and Tuesday. Zoofari & Pick a Petal are completely cased from SCS - but the Baroque Motif card was created by my downline Rachael!!!!

The other cards are for convention swaps. I'll be at a soccer tournament all weekend with a VERY long day on Saturday - my daughter has to play 3 games on Saturday - anywho - I figure I can stamp, punch and adhere while were between games! I'm going to take a TV tray and I think my soccer chair will do me well!!!! CRAZY - YES - but they have to get done....as of this writing....I have 20 cards completed....and I usually take a couple hundred!!! LOL LAUGH WITH ME PEOPLE!!!!!

Name Frame Creations!!!!

The Name Frame Class was a HUGE success tonight!!!! I think my stampers had a GREAT time. I brought in a bunch of stamp sets, all my ink pads, cardstock, Designer Paper, ribbon and embellishments - WOW - this only took me about 30-45 minutes to load up......it will probably take me about 4 days to unload - LOL!!!! Those of you that know me are simply shaking your head up and down slowly! I'm such a procrastinator!

Anywhoo - I had a couple sample Name Frames that I made and everyone ran with it! I LOVE to see all the different ideas and layouts that my talented customers come up with - they did a FABULOUS job! Each one is unique in it's own way!

My daughter even joined us tonight - it was better than staying home with "crabby daddy!" Crabby because drivers were "trying to kill him" on the way home from work tonight.....he exagerates just a little...sometimes! That's her in the yellow. She even asked me if she had to purchase the frame - I donated it to her, but I'll work it off in the morning when I unload all my loot!!!
