Get Along, Lil' Doggie...

Well, so I know I said I would post more about Convention shortly, however life has a way of getting in the way... So my husband has been offered a job in Texas and we have decided to pick up and relocate to the LONE STAR STATE. We will be leaving our beautiful home in Colorado at the end of Aug. for our new home in San Antonio. This is a picture of the model home of our exact floor plan. I am looking forward to having a new home with all the colors and textures that I personally have chosen. Here is what the front of the home looks like.
I love the warm look of the house and my favorite part, the flower box on the second floor window. I just love that touch.
This is the breakfast/sun room area. I know it is kind of hard to see the sitting area back there, but it is cute!
This is what our new kitchen will look like, we choose the same cabinet and counter top colors...but our floors are different.
I can't wait to sit in that tub (which by the way has jets, and is deep enough to cover ALL of me) I am SOOOOO looking forward to that, but I wont have it until around Oct-ish.
This is what my house looks like now...can you believe in a matter of weeks this will be transformed to a completed home. I will update as soon as we get there to see what progress has taken place.

Convention, SO INCREADIBLE!!!!

IT WAS SOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!! Ok, so the FIRST wrist band that they showed for a door prize was MINE!!! I didn't win a thing last year and this year was SO different, I got some much FREE stuff it was AWESOME!!! I had a blast. I won the scallop edge punch and package of DSP and a stamp set...I don't remember what it was called because I had to ship a ton of stuff that I won and bought since my bag wouldn't hold it all, and it has not made it home yet. :( I can't wait till it gets here! This is a sneak peak of what Phase 2 of the Decor Elements will look like, can we say our signature designer colors and even more ADORABLE shapes and variety!!! I can't wait! I will be sharing more photos of these items later in the week for you to preview, MAN do I LOVE the wall decor!!! Wait till you see the other idea's they came up with.
This was me trying to get a pic of my BUDS and my cousin was talking (I think) before I snapped it, it was just so darn funny I HAD to put it in, when she sees it she will kill me! Although she has a pic that she might post of me that is pretty funny as well, I will have to wait and see. :)
Now, those are some FUN gals!! We were so sleep deprived and dehydrated that we usually had head aches and dozed off in a few classes and had to be nudged by one or the other, but even with that we had a BLAST and would do it over and over again!

Convention Continued...

These were my BUDS at Convention, on the right of me (I am in the pink *grin*) is my cousin Shannon (this was her first Convention and she had a BLAST and on the left is my Demo friend Carlyse (she adopted me at my first Convention last year when I went alone and she befriended me- she is a sweetie!!!!) This is a small glimpse of what 6000 demo's look like when they are trying to swap cards, dance, get a glimpse of Jaren, and catch up with old friends!!
The BIG Give away at the last General Session!!! EVERYONE got a RMHC (Ronald McDonald House) stamp set "Say it with Scallops" This set is adorable and seriously it felt like we were on Oprah's "My Favorite Things" Show!!!
The last thing we did was head to the SU! Home office where we took photos of us in front of and on top of the SU! Sign. We actually were being honked at while we were taking these. The other gals were amazed that I was able to make it up there without killing myself or messing up my pedicure. :) Although if you lean to far back you fall right off...
