This past weekend I drove to Idaho Falls, Idaho. It was just a really MUCH needed peaceful drive and I really enjoyed the time to contemplate and think about things that I need to ponder about. I knew I was supposed to go to the event the instant that I was invited.
The day I arrived I went to Rexburg, Idaho to visit the Porter's Craft and Frame store. I met the nicest group of women. They kept thanking me for coming to see them and teaching. I was the one that needed to thank them!!!!
This is the stores display of my products. I really love the cones with the Christmas Cottage and Now & Then papers.
I know I often talk about the women that I get the pleasure to met. I was truly lifted by these women and their sweetness. I was able to spend two great hours talking and chatting with these girls.
I brought lots of projects to show and share while I was there.
I guess you could say I'm a talker... I loved being able to visit with with these beautiful girls.
Thanks to Candace and Ammie for making this night happen. We had a great night and then went to a much needed girls dinner together.
I visited Porters second location in Idaho Falls too. We had a great turn out. THANK YOU GIRLS!!!!
You are never too young to craft. She was loving the PINK TC Mega Runner (Xyron). Yes, this cutie is only seven years old.
I love meeting my facebook friends- I really enjoyed meeting her. She inspired me and she will know why. I loved that she brought her darling kids too.
At the event I met Mike and Liza with KLCE radio. They are the radio stations deejay celebrities. They were super nice!!!!!
I really enjoyed my time with everyone that I met. I honestly felt like I made new friends this weekend.
I am thankful that I got invited to come to this expo. The staff and coordinator Jay Dye was SUPER wonderful. I was impressed with this event. It really was geared for women. I enjoyed being able to talk, teach and have lunch each day with some of the nicest girls. I loved that I had the time to really talk to the girls there.
This is Charlene and I had met her before at a Provo Craft meet up. I love that she was there with her daughter. They took my workshop and I really enjoyed talking to them.
I look at this photo with some "fond" and special memories. I actually had a woman in the class (not pictured) that was "not a scrapbooker." I shared from my heart and talked about "why" it's important and it matters. I really hope that I was able to inspire her and everyone there to "tell their own story." I really enjoyed the workshops and the girls who shared so much with me.
I had the pleasure to go to dinner with a couple of the girls from the event. I am convinced that I am a better person from the hours that I spent with them. I need to thank Candace for being the most helpful and amazing "sidekick." I am really thankful for her friendship and she coordinated all the details for this fabulous weekend. I got to met her beautiful family and friends and it really meant so much to me. I will forever be grateful for our heartfelt conversations about some "deep issues" this weekend.
