Introducing:

Elizabeth, my roommate and new friend….  We are having dinner at Casa Mia—a great Mexican restaurant at a great price (we actually had dinner here twice!).  This night, we got to celebrate with Extreme Homemaker as they filmed a parade down the river for injured American Veterans.  It was so beautiful and will be aired next Christmas.  Liz, had to post this pic—sorry.  Liz is from Canada and I caught her waving our American flag—grin!  We had so much fun.

Prize Patrol Winners—we are all so jealous!

Lori Staley was the first one in our group to win a prize—congrats.

 

Lori was also a speaker at one of the classes and did a fabulous job teaching us about good customer care.  Shelli was even in the room while she spoke.

 

 

 

 

Then it was Angela Ogelsby’s turn to win!  Okay, so we’re still really jealous…..

……well not really, we’re very happy for you.  Stampin’ Up! gave us such great gifts, just check them out:

the bag and portfolio were made of our fabric that is coming out in the new catalog in June, along with the stamp sets—images have been sprayed out to protect the innocent—oh, I mean because they are not available yet and I’m not allowed to show them on here—grin!  on the right are 3 of our adorable make and takes, let me enlarge them for you.  I love how we put 2 of the Fancy Favor bags together to create a little box (middle image) then belly-banded it!  We used the little pop-out flowers from the Designer Printed Kit—page 18 of the mini.  They are really nice, quick to use and layer so beautifully.

Here are a few more of my pics from San Antonio—beautiful city!
