Stampin' Up! Convention Day 1

Oh I'm in heaven!  Convention is everything I remember it to be and better!  This morning we got up early and headed over to the Convention Centre to get our bags (OMG it's beautiful), and go to Memento Mall.  Here's Kristine and I bright eyed and bushy tailed waiting in line.

And the bag...oh the bag...

It's even embroidered with the In-Colours!  It's a beauty!!!  And look at all the free stamp sets!!!!

Yup, Convention is full of free stuff!


So then it was off to Memento Mall for SHOPPING!!!!  Look at the amazing display outside the door.

There were SO many amazing things inside to temp us...here's a little sampler:

 Insulated lunch kit with matching plastic cup

 Adorable umbrellas!

There were t-shirts, laptop wraps, mouse pads, and a few things I am wanting to keep secret from my downline and customers.   ;)  Just for now...

And then it was off to the home office!  When you go to the home office you HAVE to get your picture taken in front of the sign.

Oh, and THE coolest thing happened to me today!  A woman came up to me and said 'are you Allison from Calgary?'  She said, 'I know you from your blog'.  I was trying to act all calm and cool, but on the inside I was so excited!  So excited in fact that I forgot to ask her name, I'm such a dork!  So lovely demonstrator from Canada, if you are reading this, please email me, I feel terrible!

There's LOTS more to share, including the super fun kick off party, but I'm feeling like my eyelids are very droopy.  It's an early day tomorrow, and I don't want to be sleepy.

Thanks for checking in on me today.  I'll be back to share more soon!

Happy Stampin'
