Hit the road Jack....

It's about time for me to hit the road. The road to convention that is. Stampin' Up! Convention. I'm Salt Lake City, Utah bound. WOOHOO!!!!!!!

I am so excited. I can't stand it. I want to go now!!!! NOW! Too bad my plane doesn't leave until Tuesday (figures).

"My bags are packed. I'm leaving...." Oops! Not yet. My bags are NOT packed. The only thing packed right now is my sinuses. I've had a terrible head/cold/sinus/congestion/allergy something going on all week. I was able to taste food yesterday, and today I can taste AND smell food! Hopefully I'll be over it by tomorrow night.

My friends, Tammy & Debbie (and Debbie's mom that I haven't met yet, but I'm sure we'll be friends) and I are headin' out to Nashville tomorrow night. Our flight leaves early on Tuesday. We have a lay-over in Atlanta. How weird is that. Get on a plane in Nashville, fly to Atlanta, and THEN fly to Salt Lake City. Somebody made a "screwy" flight pattern.... heehee. We also have a lay-over in Atlanta on the way back too. Crazy!

Anyway. I plan on having a BLAST at convention. This is my first one. It's also Stampin' Up!'s 20th anniversary. I'm sure we will be treated royally well at this one. There is only one session this year instead of two. I think there are 6000+ registered. It should be a super-fun time.

Here are my swap cards. I only made 64 (32 of each patterned paper design.) I like it. It uses the new In Colors : Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette, and Riding Hood Red. The patterned paper is Bella Rose -- beautiful! It is new and will be in the new Fall/Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog which we get on Wednesday.

SUPER STOKED ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure I will have lots of goodies and tidbits to share when I get back. I'm not taking the laptop -- so unless you have my cell number....you'll just have to wait!

Guess that's it for now. I need to go help Brian pack my suitcase. He packs so much better than I do (thank you Army). Have a great week.
