Convention Welcome Kit and free goodies!!

All demonstrators received a nice white & silver backpack filled with goodies!

We got 3 stamp sets and the kits for Make And Takes.

Also, there was a lanyard for our name tags, a silver pen, a special 25th anniversary pin,

a Main Catalog and a Holiday Catalog

I picked up a "My 1st Convention" pin at the info desk.

Plus, throughout the Convention, we received all kinds of free items!

• Prize Patrol: I won the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit and the Harvest of Thanks stamp set

• All Attendee Giveaways: We all received the Tags 4 You stamp set, the Real Red Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit, the Oh, Goodie! stamp set and the Yippee-Skippee set.

Other freebies were a Paper Pumpkin kit and a sample from the Undefined kit.

My 1st Convention!!

My 1st Stampin'Up Convention was a total blast!!

I will post NEW PRODUCTS & SAMPLES this week but for now...

I got to get my picture taken with 3 Demonstrators I love, so I want to share!

Here's the hilarious Justin Krieger and Brian King. 

I bumped into them at the end of my tour of the Riverton Office.

I just had to get a photo of them with me in the middle :-)

They were both so friendly!! 

And here's my photo with the fabulous Mary Fish on Awards Night (thank you Sue!!)

She was so sweet and gracious! 

The line for a photo with Shelli was so long, it was closed when I got there :-(

But her great husband Sterling was right there so I got a photo with him!

I hope I can have a photo with Shelli next year...
