So, do ya wanna hear about Convention?

No?  Okay, then i’ll just upload pics of my room.  I’m staying at Little America.  I have to say, when I booked and saw that there was a Grand America, I pretty much decided the Little America was going to be not so grand, and not so great.  I don’t do “motels” and if there’s a Westin available, that’s our standard (we’re DINKS).  HOWEVER, Little America IS GRAND!  I can’t believe how great the room is!  It’s beautiful, comfy, conveinently located- if you ever go to SLC for Convention, or any other reason- Stay at Little America. 

None of my pics are doctored due to time constraints. Here’s the room, and the cute little tray of soaps, etc on the vanity.  The 3rd thumbnail is of the stampin’ tool bag & matching camera case that were available for purchase at the Memento Mall (2 hr line- serious!).  Oh…  wait…. what is that little thing there in the bottom corner of that pic?  Is that a CATALOG perhaps?  

Let’s get a little closer look, shall we?

  Well what do you know? You DO want to know about Convention after all!

OMIWERD!  

The front page of the catalog is SCALLOPED EDGE PUNCHED!  Too freakin’ cute.

What’s IN:

• Chunky glitter from last mini catalog- and another color group that has silver, black & white…
• Die Cut Blooms
• Felt Fusion- same colors PLUS another color grouping of Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze & Chocolate Chip – LUV IT!! WANNA MARRY IT!
• Stylized Silver Hodgepodge Hardware
• Styled Silver FANCY BRADS!
• Mini Library Clips
• 10 different Rub-On selections and you have a choice of buying a pack with 1 white, 1 black or 1 white and 1 chocolate chip sheets! 
• Square Scallop Punch (and of course, stamps that work with it!)
• Lots of new chipboard
• The 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon has a lot of the old colors back, including Chocolate Chip and there are a few new versions of striped ribbons.  There are not any of the “packs” other than the twill. OH, there’s a new twill in So Saffron- 7/8″ wide.
• Eyelets- only basic colors, Gold/Silver/Copper/Antiqued Brass
• and waaaayy too many stamps sets to even describe. 

We got 3 free sets and I LOVE one called Inspired by Nature- it is a background image of grass and on the flip side, flowers!  I can’t show you until I’ve stamped something with it- but maybe tomorrow our make & takes will use that.  Crossing my fingers.  The other 2 sets are cute too- one that goes along with the Eastern style and the other is butterflies & flowers.

So, hopefully this will tide you over until tomorrow!
