Wow!! I blinked and it was OVER!! SERIOUSLY???? The only thing I DIDN'T like about Convention is that it was MUCH TOO SHORT (kinda like me!!)!!
But I think I have mentioned before that my FAVE part about Convention is meeting up with all of my stampin' friends ... like, for instance, Jen Timko!! I think we are Soul Sisters who were separated at BIRTH (don't even remind me that she is about 8 or 9 inches taller ... and gorgeous, ok??? SOUL sisters ... get it???)!!
And Justin Krieger??? Are ya KIDDIN' ME???? This man has been my absolute-favorite-number-one-support-team-flag-wavin'-awesome-friend this whole week!!! Made me feel like a ZILLION bucks every freakin' day!!! And he is just freakin' amazing and talented on every level himself ... so there!!
Jason Casper!! This guy? AWESOME!!! Sometimes it's hard for me to swallow that there are DUDES out there that stamp BETTER than me!! (I know, I know ... don't be hatin' on me ... that's a really shallow and awful stereotype ... and TOTALLY UNFOUNDED and UNFAIR!) Some of the most talented stampers I know are dudes (got to meet Brian King, too!! Justin has a pic of the three of us on his phone, but I don't have it ... NEED TO FIX THAT!)!!
Here is THE Shelli Gardner at the end of the closing session yesterday ... fireworks, glitter, laughing, cheering, hugging, happiness ... I guess it's better to leave wanting MORE instead of feeling like you been there/done that, right?? All I know is, I CAN'T WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR!!!
Now I need to get some sleep ... 'cause even my HAIR is tired!!
Awesome photos!!!! Love you my friend and I will miss you!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe that I got to hang out with you!! You are an amazingly talented, funny, sweet, awesome, and super cute person!! YOU ROCK!!!!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be fun to just sleep ALL day?! So sad it's over and I too can't wait until next year! I'm grateful I live close enough that we can visit together for a short time here and there. Whew! Love the memories!
