.....is stamping with your on line friends in person. (left to right Becky Roberts, Di Gibbs, Kim Sinclair) There is the picture of the four of us but I could not bear to post it because my forehead was super shiney-hey don't laugh,it's the make up artist in me!
..... watching one of your good friends win a Cruise To Alaska! (Paula Jensen) and Kim Sinclair also won!
.....sitting on a GIGANTIC STAMP!
.....seeing your work on the Stampin' Up! display boards and finding out you were a Finalist for the Artisan Award Contest! (I found 6 of my projects on diplay and was one of 22 finalists!)
.....participating in a super fun Organized Colour Challenge Swap hosted by Stacey Shcafer from Stacey's Stamping Stage. (she hosts a great on line weekly colour challenge, is super nice in person, and I most likely chatted her ear off lol!) The colours were Whisper White, Baja Breeze,Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake and all of the swaps I received back were fantastic.
....watching the extremely talented Heather Summers present on stage. She has to be one of the most genuinely sincere people you will ever meet and I can not wait to see her in a few weeks!
.....learning how to water colour from THE MASTER! Di Gibbs is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and I can not wait to try out her tips and techniques.
So what do you think? Does the Stampin' Up! Convention sound like a whole lot of fun?! I would love to have you come with me next year:)
Happy Stampin'

Although I am in no way surprised - CONGRATS that you were one of the finalist! I still can't believe your gorgeous creations didn't win - but it must feel really special to know you were so close. Next year!
