2012 Convention Swaps

Elaine de Montmorency from Victoria,BC  used "Bootiful Occasions" for her swap. Lucky Limeade is a great color combination along with Pumpkin Pie, WW, and Basic black.

Love this Halloween card that Rosalie Gochnour made for Convention-  I'm going to have to get this set "Bootiful Occasions" It's a very versatile set.  Halloween will be here before we know it. More tomorrow- thanks for stopping in.  Happy Stamping!

More Convention shares

Isn't this Owl cute? I'm going to have to get my sewing machine out.

These were some of the SUDSOL gift swaps at convention- all very useful. I stopped at Fruita, Co. and got some fruits and veggies.  Am busy making peach cobbler, ymmmm.  More tomorrow.  Happy Stamping!

2012 Convention- 5 yr recognition walk

My friend, Kendra Richardson and I while doing the 5 year recognition walk.  The years went fast.  It's been such fun!

Some more of my demonstrator friends from Tucson. Kendra's mom is to her right and is from Idaho.  She joined SU 3 months ago.  L to R Darlene McClusky, Kendra Richardson, me, Linda Ostby and in front, Karen Reid. We all had a great time.  We are alll of those statements on the board behind us.  Till tomorrow. Happy Stamping!

2012 Convention-Carrie Cudney

Carrie's presentation was packed full of good information- some of it has been out of my "confort zone" such as more postings on line- I'm doing better since I started my blog and getting more comfortable with the navigation of this on line stuff.  That's one of my goals by Sept 1st.  Am going to get the 'ole fishing pole out". Back tomorrow with more from convention. Happy Stamping!

2012 Convention -Shannon West

This is another "take" on the quilt pattern, Cathedral Window done by my new friend, Lauren. I love the addition of the blossom flower punch and the Razzleberry color button.

Loved the new "exercizes" that Shannon showed us-  I had learned them a while back during my nursing career but glad to get a refresher.  I love the costumes she chooses- she really just exudes fun and I love the saying" a smile is like tight underwear, it  makes your cheeks go up"  I'm going to remember that one, for sure.  Doesn't her costume just want to make you "party?"
More convention pictures coming.  Happy Stamping!

2012 Convention- Brian Pilling

Isn't this quilt card that Lauren did super? I love the bright, vibrant colors that she used in it.It is the Cathedral Window pattern. I did a pillow for my mother-in-law a while ago. I started out making a large quilt but realized that it would take me forever to complete it so I settled for a pillow. More to come tomorrow from convention.  The swaps were so nice and I can't wait to share them with you. Happy Stamping!

2012 Convention- Brian Pilling

What a GREAT convention- I can't wait to see what SU has in store for next year.  I liked the comparison of "Goldilocks" to StampinUp by Brian.  I'm going to aim to make my events "just right"  The time at Convention went by too fast. I made some wonderful new friends and want to introduce you to a new friend from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her name is Lauren Hope and she does marvelous cards. Lauren is on the right.
