Weekend Wrap Up

Since I was missing in action for the last few days, a wrap up is in store!
Thursday night my sister arrived from Chesapeake, VA for a visit and to attend the Stampin' Up! On Stage Convention.  She could have attended her local on in Charlotte, but came up to Pennsylvania to attend my local one in of all places...…..drum roll please!

 On Friday morning, the other "D" in D & D Papercrafts, Deb drove all of us over to Harrah's Resort Casino where the event was held.  If course after lunch, we had to get our picture taken in front of the convention rooms.

 Saturday morning was an early wake up call so we could check out of the hotel room and take our luggage to the car.  This crowd greeted us as we entered the convention area.

When you get 700 ladies in one area, especially Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, this is what it looks like trying to figure out what line to get in to in order to register.  It was nice to chat with other demonstrators to see how far they have come to the event.  Quite a few came to Atlantic City even though they had events closer to their homes.  Wonder why????  Hint:  the casinos were busy!

It was a day introducing the new catalog with a wide array of demonstrators presenting the new products in the catalog.  It was exciting to see some of them and of course I am sharing my favorite! The Come Sail Away Suite!

Anxious to order this suite later today, since until tomorrow as an attendee at this event, we can preorder certain items.  Be on the look out for an upcoming class as well as a mini book and summer sampler made featuring these items.  In the suite is the stamp set, dies, designer paper, Memories and More cards, bakers twine and trinkets!  I am SO excited!

For most people, the highlight of the day is the HUGE amount of FREE product we received!

Check it out!

Here is what I received, a value of $150, not including the bag or catalog, more than what the registration for the event cost!  It was a super fun day, spent with my sister and friend, and the new friends I made through out the day!  Looking forward to attending another one soon!  So glad for my sister who encouraged me to go, and even came up here to attend with me for my first time.
