Oh My Gosh I am so EXCITED but oh so TIRED, its 7.30am Sunday May 3rd 2009 and I'm ready to go back to bed, BUT I can't because I have a brunch to go to to meet all the lovely ladies that went to Convention and rub shoulders with ones that won awards WOOHOO  and congratulations to you all, I had goosebumps just watching you all walk across stage in your dazzling outfits.Unfortunately I did not

These cards were put into baskets by attendees for Stampin' Up head office, apologies for the reflections, I wish I could have taken the plastic bags off it so I could get better pictures but with so many people waiting to take photos it would be extremely selfish of me to do that and hold everyone up. Some were absolutely gorgeous, many attendees who came and didn't do swaps were kicking

The following cards were a display put up by one of the presenter demonstrators Alison Charlton of NSW, the class was titled Wise Investments. She taught us how to workout if a stamp was worth buying and how many sets you had to sell to break even, very informative class. I think I took the most notes from this class.BTW all the power point presentations are going to be released on the Stampin'

WOW is all I can say about my first Australian Convention held right here in my home state of Canberra. All the hype that everyone has been sharing that have attended a convention, is to be believed by being there in person.

I have never tried to punch the foil or sandpaper through it so never knew it if worked but have read that eventually it will blunt
