Convention 2011 Report Part 1

Hi all I stayed on after convention & caught up with one of my oldest girlfriends Jo,  that lives in Melbourne permanently now. I love Melbourne but it can be really cold (we landed on the coldest day in either 70 years or 5 years!) but the food & the shopping are always great. Just some quick pictures to share of the event to start the ball rolling - I plan to blog daily for the next week so do check back to see more.

The Convention Centre is right on the Yarra River (which was a rather interesting shade of brown - Soft Suede would be a good description of it's colour).

First order of business swapping with other demonstrators ~ 500 attendees.

Donna, my best girlfriend, roomie for the meeting & fellow demonstrator.

Donna & myself - yes the theme of the meeting was Share What You Love.

I meet the Aussie Karen Rodgers (except she has a D in her surname) - both of us holding up our swaps from the other.

The fabulous Shelli Gardener kicking off the meeting; as always an inspiration to us all as demonstrators and as humans.

Check back tomorrow for some more piccies & cards.

There's aliens on the stairs!

This was a fun card I made & thought I'd share with you while I'm on holiday post convention. It uses the owl punch to create aliens. My upline Jacque taught this at a class awhile ago.
