First, I'm going to work a little backwards. I got home VERY late on Sunday night and when I walked into the house this is what I found.
Katie bought these for me from the Farmers Market in Saratoga Springs and made me my annual sign (everyone knows that my VERY favorite flower is the SUNFLOWER). She made me cry. It was so nice to see Kevin at the airport and give him a big hug and it was just nice to be home with my fabulous family, I missed them so much!!!! I love to go away but I miss them when I'm gone!
And this is what I woke up to the next day….These were waiting for me in the mud room! I had them all sorted and put away before I left…then the UPS man snuck the rest of them in the week I was away. That is what I will be doing on Wednesday after we go to the Farmer's Market and pick out new carpet for my living room. Okay back to Convention…
The day before, we went over to the Convention Center and just looked around (the calm before the storm)! So this is what the gathering place looked like. Aren't the colors absolutely delicious!!!!!
The gathering place the night before the Convention opens.
Ohhhhh my gosh…so we started the days at 4:45 a.m. and didn't finish until at least 1:00 a.m. Soooooo no time to post. I'm going to try and catch you up…here we are in line to get into the building. This is the Salt Palace. It's a beautiful building.
This is so exciting. Opening Day. The day we meet up with old friends and get our bags and swap….so exciting.
All crazy good!
Then I picked up my Convention Bag. Isn't it so cute! It was FILLED with stamps and books and stuff!!! GOOOD STUFF!!!!!
Then I went to the awards booth. There is my SAM Natalie handing me my Founders Circle Bag! SOOOOOO much fun. It was FILLED with STAMPS and awards and pins! oh my gosh!!! Can it get much better…
YES YES YES….
Yes…SHOPPPPPPPPING at Momento Mall. I needed a truck to get it all back to the hotel. I did ship a lot of that stuff home TWO HUGE BOXES!!! I can't wait, it gets here on Thursday! YIPPEEEEEEEE
