friends, friends and friends

This past Wednesday-Saturday I attended the annual
convention.
(ask me about Stampin' Up if you are interested!)
It was a blast. We made adorable projects, got the new catalog and had an all around good time!

Aren't these projects adorable!!

I love Stampin' Up because it is a fun outlet for me, it's a great business...
but mainly because I have made LIFE LONG friends through it.
This year Ashley was my only down-line at convention. She had several of her own down-line too.
It was fun getting to know them! Ashley has done so awesome with her business and earned some fabulous rewards.
CONGRATS girlfriend!

Me and Ash

Janice and Mandy...LOVE these girls!

Kristina Werner...she is famous in our world! Her blog rocks!

LUCKY ME, I won some FREE merchandise :)

More fabulous friends...

Brandi, my AMAZING up-line!

" Celebrate '08" was the theme.

Kasia and Sasha! Cute cute girls!!!!

Megan, Ash and me.

It was so fun meeting you Megan!!

We had to wear these neon headbands so our group could find us!

We had over 300 people in our group, and there were 6,000 demonstrators at this convention :) Part of my down-line group. FUN GIRLS!!

Cute Sherri! We all got a FREE stamp set at the closing session!

Saturday night convention ended and it was sad to leave the fun behind.

I love making cards and projects and hope to get my business started up again when I return home!

Luckily daddy got to come out again to visit for the weekend. We needed him for some medical reasons and we were happy to spend some time together again. We had a yummy dinner at Mimi's Cafe (with my mom and dad!)

We've seen the doctor a lot this week, and I've had to do a lot of *this too!!

*this=belly and bum injections

whatever it takes to make a baby...

My weekend was full of fun, and today started another week of

more fun.

I went to lunch with some more awesome friends from Logan.

I loved my time living in Logan and made forever friends there as well.

Thanks Marcie, Matt and Marie for lunch today. Sure love you guys!!!!

I love being back in Utah because I usually run into someone I know, everywhere I go. It's awesome.

Where I live now I know I'll never run into someone I know.

Today at Rite-Aid I ran into Carly. We both had coupons in hand and were ready to get some FREE stuff. It was hilarious!!!!!! You go girl.

Tonight at Lagoon I ran into Vaughn and Chrissy from High school. It was fun!

While in Island Park 2 weeks ago I ran into Autumn Flint ? from HS...I haven't seen her for 10 years so that was a pleasant surprise as well.

Random places, but fun friends and memories.

I guess that's all for now folks. I have some pix from Lagoon tonight, but I guess I will do that in a different post! I'm still SO behind on blogs. YIKES! I hope yall are doing well :)

You are one busy girl!!! Glad you're having a great time though. Good luck with those bumm injections. We'll be thinking about you, and praying that everything goes as planned!!

Oooooh, I'm so jealous! I should sign up to do Stampin' Up, because I always get sad when everyone tells me how much FUN they had at convention! You'd think that they'd let employee's wives sneak in, but no...

Maybe next year I'll crash the party!

It was fun running into you and having you there to give advice on all the freebies! You're the coupon guru and I needed the help. Forgot to tell ya that you looked great. Wish we could've had more time to chat. I wish you the best for everything this weekend, cuz you deserve it!
