Life for the past week....

Saturday: Yvonne and I flew into California via US Airways with plane switch-a-roo in Vegas. We tried our luck at slot machines, I spent $6.00 and won $17.50. I was determined to buy Russ a Harley shirt. This meant having to go through security check again with only 15 minutes....but I made it!

We made it to our hotel, ran for a bite to eat at Bubba Gump's



We made it back to the hotel around 6:30 (CA time) and we both fell out!


Sunday AM we arrived at the Convention Center and stood in line so that we could be one of the first in line to do Teresa Collins make n takes. Her new line is awesome...did you notice the fork?





We visited with Tim and did his make n take. I tried to steal his shirt but with no luck!

I was the lucky winner of Litle Yellow Bikes give away...ain't she a beaut!



We ran across this booth that used a chain link gate with a piece of glass as a table (it's in the back ground of this pic) and a modified shopping cart for a chair in one of their displays! And aren't the pink "doo-dahs" just too cute!

Monday AM...we were allowed on the floor early since we went to EK's booth with Scarlet to do some buyin'.

One of our new favs is The Daisy Bucket...see pics below



Yvonne and I are affectionatly calling this a "ball tree"! This is a new trend and they were being used in many layouts by many companies!
Another trend..owls! or as I like to call them...hooties! Couldn't help but think of Kristy when I saw these Hooties!
So many pics to show, so much new stuff to teel you about... I suggested to Yvonne that we needed a debriefing with you guys!
Tuesday AM...we arrived at the airport early so we enjoyed a sit down breakfast and then boarded the plane for our long journey home. We made it home around 10:00
It was a great trip...thank you Yvonne and Griffins for letting me tag along!
I had a very unusual experince onthe plane ride home....I'll tell more later!

Oh Stephanie welcome home!
A "debriefing" would be wonderful, don't forget to think of me....I'd love to be in the scrapbooking "know".
Did you snap a photo of Tim? Could I buy it? :O) I dunno, I'm just at the stage where he and Ali inspire me so much!
Thanks for your post, it was fun following along,
