Did you have a good time? *Are you going to post a thread about all the neat stuff you saw and learned? *I am SO JEALOUS (but in a good way!!!) *

I had a GREAT time! *I left early, early on Tuesday morning and didn't return until Sunday night. *It was so much more fun than I had thought it would be!
I went out on a limb and shared a room with people I had only communicated with over the internet on another board. *I figured we would either all get along or a lesson would be learned ~ NEVER to share a room! *

* Anyway, there ended up being 5 of us sharing a room and we got along just great and decided to do an online "weekly support group" on Yahoo and to do monthly card swaps with a different theme.
I learned so many new techniques while at the convention and got some great ideas for my business as well. *Also received a nice backpack with 4 FREE stamp sets from the new catalog and as an additional surprise on the last day, we all received another free stamp set that will be offered for just 2 months and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Maine Heart Association.
We also received a wire bound catalog and a sneak peak at the new Holiday Mini. Oh, and I swapped 100 card fronts for even more ideas!
It was a blast and we all want to room together again next year! *We were a mixed brew ~ Maine, Kentucky, Virginia and (2) California (different ends!).
I must say it was the best time I have had in years! *Of course I missed my family, but I had been under SO MUCH stress at work with the accounting software nightmare that it was a great escape!
Give me a week and I will start showing off what I learned! *
