It's A Party!

I wanted to post a couple pics from tonight's 2013 Convention Open House - I do believe fun was had by one and all!  This was a chance for everyone to see all the awesome swaps I brought back (over 200!!), the wonderful Make & Take projects that Stampin' Up! had for us, as well as my class samples from the awesome Convention Connection by Janet Baker and Susan Adams that my upline recommended.  What clever, creative and DOABLE projects - can't wait to translate some of these to our own classes!

We also enjoyed an extremely well-dressed dessert by my beloved Our Best Bites, of course, Blueberry-Lemon-Ricotta-Cheesecake Bars - yum yum!  Never made anything quite like it - and It rocked!  These cute little party swags are from the latest Paper Pumpkin - the Party Pennants kit!  Love It!
Other activities we enjoyed were digging through convention goody bags for everyone - I loved bringing home the bounty to share with all of us - making one Make-n-Take of our own - my "Six-Sided Swap" card - and getting a crack at my freshly stocked Retired/For Sale box.  I almost forgot our good long browse through the new Holiday Mini, too!  And the slide shows of the 400 pictures I took!  Yikes!  So nice to take it easy and just enjoy each others' company - back to the grind next month, though, lol!
