The night before the regional meeting I decided to make something for the demonstrators at my table to reflect the time of year and Chattanooga specifically. So I got busy in the kitchen and made Halloween treats out of Moon Pies (they are made here, you know) for each of them and also had a copy of CityScope magazine at each of their places since each person was from out of town. Everyone seemed to enjoy the gifts. Here's the work in progress.
Can you imagine a room chocked full of stamping addicts? I could even define that better by saying Stampin' Up! stamping addicts. The regional was a half day conference held at the Chattanooga Convention Center this past Friday and Saturday. This regional sold out in two days. I hope that shows SU! the enthusiasm in the southeast region. The information businesswise was extremely helpful, presentations by demonstrators from this region were original and creative, the "make 'n takes" were exceptional, and the door prizes (I won the first one!) were great and abundant.
But more important than any of these things, were the demonstrators I met. Even another demonstrator named Billie who just moved to Ooltewah from San Antonio, TX. Five of the demonstrators who live fairly close to me have decided to form a group that will meet at regular intervals in each others studios for a shoebox swap. That could mean many new projects for my stamping peeps. Plus these meetings should help all of us keep our creative juices flowing.
