Convention 2010 Bloggers

Here are my final pictures with my bloggers. I know everyone knows this top lady. She will be so embarrassed when she reads this. She hates to be the center of attention, however she deserves to be. What an awesome opportunity for me last year at convention. With so many stampers at convention there were 3 main bloggers I wanted to meet. I was successful with 2. Mary Fish and Jill Hillard who is second row left here, but I didn't get to meet Linda Heller. I had joined Stampin School the year before and knew she lived near me in Orlando. I was on the plane home
with 2 empty seats beside me thinking yes-I am so lucky----all of the sudden 2 ladies are coming down the aisle- I look up and who do I see--Linda Heller- she sits by me on the way home. LUCKY me!
We look at swaps and got to know each other for hours. I have now spent the last year included in her monthly group meetings which are AWESOME! Linda hates attention but she deserves all the praise she gets. She gives 100% to her group and we all love her. I have seen several blogs this year where it has been other stamper's goals to get their pic with Linda this year.
I already told you who is in pic #2. Jill Hillard- Love her site! Her design is great! She has great kits and simple ideas that appeal to all. Lastly, Patty Bennett- She is the master of paper. She can take a stamp or paper and turn into the most extraordinary art you have ever seen. If you don't follow her blog- you are crazy- go there now! you are not COOL! Isn't that pic great- I think we kinda look like sisters (sorry Kathy- but Patty and I look more alike than you and me). At least we both have good taste in clothes- we almost match:)
Going to Linda's group today so I will try to post a second time our project's from today!
At least my new commitment is working. I have posted everyday this week. That's not bad considering I went back to work-was in a catch up mode most of the end of the week. Met two deadlines for ENA call for committee nominations and caught up my Google reader which was probably going to explode if I hadn't read and emptied it.
