It's late already, but I'll try to recap the last two days. I'm writing this late on Thursday night and it will post early Friday morning for you! It has certainly been a whirlwind of a trip so far, but it's been AMAZING!!!
Wednesday was check-in day and we got our convention bags, shopped at Memento Mall, did some swapping and took a tour at the head office in Riverton. And that was all before dinner!!!

In the evening, there was a kick-off party where my friends Carla & Sue got to play a game & win free stuff. I won a prize and we also watched some awesome demonstrations. I got distracted because I ran into some old friends, so I (gasp!) didn't take any photos of the demos. I am pretty sure their projects are on a display board somewhere, so I can still track them down (I hope!)
After that, my upline, Tina, had a little gathering where we swapped and chatted and it was great to see some of my favorite sidelines from all over the country. Tina also gave us an adorable little gift. (And no, I didn't take a picture of that either!! What the heck is wrong with me???) :)
Yesterday morning started out with a general session where Shelli spoke and they had a march for all the First Time Convention Goers. I was so excited for this, since all 6 of my downline are here for the first time!! Here they are up on stage!!
Aren't they cute???? I was so, so excited for them!!!
Then Pam Morgan showed us some sneak peeks from the Holiday Mini catalog and all I can say is OMG!!! You guys are going to love, love, love it!!!! (That reminds me, I am still looking for a name for all of you!! Please read this post and let me know what you think!!!) Back to the mini - holy cow, it's amazing. New dies, new papers, Halloween, fall, Christmas, new tools, you name it - it is in there!!!
After lunch, (which I had the gluten-free version and it was delish!), we had make & takes! We were already warned that we wouldn't finish them all, so I didn't even try. All I got assembled was this paper flower and the top of a box (which is covered in fabric). It is cute and I can't wait to finish the rest of the box.

In fact, I have so many class ideas you guys might as well clear your calendar now because I am going to keep you VERY busy!! I have class ideas right through January!!!
Last night we went to an early dinner and we had the awards night. We found out where our next incentive trips are going to be!! Are you ready for this???? Okay, there is a getaway weekend trip (which I am pretty sure I can achieve) to Hilton Head. OR..... if I work a little harder, I can go to..........FIJI!!!! How cool is that?????
They also announced the new Advisory Board. The new members are: Laura Barto, Susan Elise Morton, Dawn Olchefske, Missy Shipman, Josee Smuck, Denise Sullivan, Deb Valder, and (returning) Megan Wheeler. Congrats girls!! Do us proud!!! :)
Alright, PEELin' Peeps (I might just try some of those names out until I decide which one I like!), it's super late here in Salt Lake City!!! SO I will say good night, even though chances are when you read this I probably should be saying good morning, but either way, I hope you enjoyed this post and now you are all caught up!!!
More tomorrow!!! :)
