Regionals on Saturday was great! I learned a lot of "tricks of the trade" - now I just need to remember everything I saw! Neither Marianne nor I won any of the "Prize Patrol" give-aways, but we came away with a few goodies anyway. Stampin' Up was pretty generous and along with the make-n-takes that we did, we came away with a Card Keeper Box (featured in the next mini), a journal and a couple of card kits to make. We also got a bunch of card swaps so there are always good ideas in those. I stood in line to talk with Shelli (CEO of SU) and had my picture made with her. We have decided that she may be one of the most photographed women in America! It is so funny to hear how excited people get when they meet her for the first time! She is a very warm person and seems like she really cares about us demonstrators.
Shelli even helped give out the goodies to the crowd!
Stampin' Up has a box where they ask that we drop off a swap card to take back to the home office. Shelli judged all the cards that were submitted and picked three of the top cards. No, unfortunately, mine was not one of the top three (darn!) but here are the winning ones that she picked:
Again, a clever use of punches with the tags. Guess Shelli is into using punches as evidenced by her choice of picks.
Well, bedtime here for me! I am playing bridge tomorrow. I had hoped that my friend, Margaret, was coming for a quick visit tomorrow but since I haven't heard from her, I guess not. We haven't had a visit since last March! I'll be starting to get things packed this week for our trip. I packed Ashley's suitcase today with all the stuff she left here plus things I've picked up for her while she has been gone. I think we are going to have a full carload!
