Some MORE Convention Excitement!!!

Hello!!!!!... It's Friday and it would appear that ALL the rain Perth has missed out on has fallen this morning!!.. Goodness.. that was a whole HEAP of rain is a very short time!!!

Soooo... given it's cold and wet today I thought I'd share some more Convention excitement with you... there will be more.. I've not got my Awards Dinner pics ready yet!! :D

 First up!!... The TWO SJK's... yep... same first name...ok.. so I don't have a second name.. but the J in my first name is the same as the J is Sarah's second name!!.. Confused!!??? hahaha... Different surname though ;-). LOVE, LOVE this GORGEOUS girl.... and although I hugged her at any given opportunity while we were away.. I'm LUCKY enough to live about hmmmm... 7mins away should I require a SJK cuddle at any time!!.. Mwah... Love ya to bits!!

 The BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL Sharnee!!!... Really... I simply ADORE her... and still don't think I got to HUG her enough at Convention... Sharnee really is one of the most beautiful, kind and AMAZING ladies I've had the pleasure in meeting. Unfortunately she lives a little too far away for impromptu cuddles... so I have to get my Sharnee hug fix via cyber space... Love you Sharnee!!!

Some SU! Convention EXCITEMENT!!!

HELLO!!!.. HELLO!!!.. I'm BACK... I've just spent the most AMAZING 5 days in GORGEOUS Melbourne with the MOST AMAZING, GORGEOUS and INSPIRING ladies at the Stampin' Up! Convention!!! Did I mention I had an AMAZING time!!??

I thought I'd share just a couple of pics with you... there will be MORE.. I just have to edit them all!!

I made a couple of little gifts for some of the GORGEOUS gals I was going with and thought I'd show you those. I had SO much fun making these and only wish I'd come up with the idea to make them a little earlier than I had.. you know.. coming up with a fabulous idea 3 days BEFORE I'm due to fly out, doesn't leave a girl much time, to get things done.. hahaha.. NEXT year.. I'll be much more organised... well that's the plan!!

So.. here is what I made:-

 

This year we had a choice of Clear Mount or Wood MOunt stamp sets in our Convention Bag... the problem.. what to take your Clear Mount stamp blocks in!!... Sooooo.. I made a little pouch to store them in!!! Cool!! Huh!!! But I couldn't just make a pouch.. I HAD to make a little co-ordinating Flower Brooch too!!.. I was SO happy with how they turned out.. and YES I did A HUGE happy dance, which involved copious amounds of squealing, hand clapping, jumping in the air and a little more squealing!!.. Just ask my mum.. I think she thought I'd gone a little crazy!!.. hahaha

The brooches were made using my Big Shot and the Flower Folds XL Die... AMAZING!!

Ooohh and just to get you in the mood for a barrage of COnvention Pics.. I thought I'd show you a couple of pics taken at the Airport just before we boarded our plane:-


Can you see how excited we were.... That's ME.. the GORGEOUS Sarah Klass and FABULOUS Lee (Lulla!!). It's a miracle we didn't get separated on the plane... all that EXCITEMENT!!! hahahha

And this last shot!!.. Well while she didn't come to Convention with me... and I'm sure she would've LOVED to have come.. she did mention it a few times... this is my GORGEOUS little Jorja... Miss Ella was hiding from the camera.. but everytime I got a little HOMESICK.. I just looked at this gorgeous pic.. and SMILED!!!..
And ... was SO excited to get to SQUEEZE her when I got back home!!!

 I'll be back soon with MORE excitement and photos from Convention!!

Thanks for stopping by.
