Saturday Shopping Spree
OMG what an exciting day! It’s the opening day for Stampfest Orlando 2007 and we have met so many people, been attacked by stalkers and laughed until we cried! We have finally recovered from Jeanne’s Diet Coke spillage on the new My Favorite Things shirts (which made us late as usual) and the minute we walked into the door, Candy Williams was going out the other way to find us. When we finally found her – after hide and seek through the hotel lobby and halls – we have done nothing but laugh to the point of crying.
We’ve wandered around and shopped – filling up our MFT bags, going back to the room and unloading, then heading back again! We caught Kim and Jamie working hard at the MFT booth
as we were shopping across the aisle! How funny is that!!!!
Jeanne and I saw Lois (clownmom) early this morning in our search for Candy but she was so busy signing up for the raffle, that she didn’t notice us. So after we found Candy, and after lunch, we ran into Lois and her friend in Rosemary.
After the show closed today, a bunch of us gathered in the lobby for a Copic Marker coloring tutorial by Jeanne. We had quite the gathering, and had so much fun watching Jeanne color, telling stories and laughing. We finally got to meet Keri and Jackie from Inky Antics today and they spent some time hanging with us in the lobby. Candy made it home safe and sound and we are hoping she’ll be able to meet us back at The van der Sanden Inn sometime late tomorrow afternoon. Candy is so much fun and meeting her was like meeting someone we had been hanging with forever.
Jeanne and I actually had a stalker today too! We were standing with Candy at one of the booths doing a little bit of shopping and this girl standing next to me yelled, OMG you’re Bad Sherry and you’re Jeanne. We looked at her kinda funny, not knowing who she was, and it was DesignerK. She explained that she was just a lurker on SCS and hadn’t posted anything – of course, we explained to her that if she didn’t post, we couldn’t comment on her cards! Duh!!!!!!
As a kick tonight, when we got back to the room Jeanne and I decided to make a pile of all the loot we picked up today. I do believe that we have enough to stamp a new image every day for just about a year! Jenn Balcer, if you are looking, that bit of bling in the top left hand corner is for you! I’ll be sending it along when I get home!!!!!!!
It’s getting a little late now, actually it’s after 1:00 a.m. and I think I’m heading off to bed so that I can get an early start tomorrow. I’m dying to pick up a couple of Christmas stamps at the Paula Best booth!
OMG!! Look at all that loot!!! Can’t wait to see what you both come up with when you get home. What all is on the sheet with the martini glass?
Wow….what a haul!!! It really sounds like you guys are having a wonderful time! I cannot wait to see what you gals come up with once you get home and start playing with all of those goodies!
LOL – looks like you’ve spent more than my budget for the whole year! j/k With all that loot, you’re going to have to make 10 cards a day!
WOW! That looks like some fun shopping. I can’t wait to see what you come up with for cards. You’re going to be busy!
OMG!!! That stash is bigger than what I have in my entire stamping collection!!!! (ok…not quite~but REALLY close!!!)
Looks like too much fun…and look at those goodies!!! Wow!! 😉
Sheesh!! This is just not fair.. it’s envy day after envy day!! Hehe.. Glad to hear you’re having a blast!
WOW!!! Looks like you have all had a wonderful trip! Sounds like a blast! WAHOO for Dolly! 😉 Fun!! 😀
Technically, I wasn’t stalking because I was only keeping an eye out for you girls, not actively tracking you. But I do admit to being a fan-girl and squealing when I found you beside me. 🙂 Hope I didn’t freak you out too much. I’ll try to start posting at SCS. I already have a Flickr account where I post my images and a blog. After seeing your loot above, I no longer feel so bad about how much I bought yesterday. 😉 ~Kelly
Wow Sherry – I’m getting caught up on all the posts I missed & just read all you’ve done in Orlando – sounds like soooo much fun!!! And what a great bunch of goodies, can’t wait to see what you create with everything (even if it will take a year!). 🙂
Oh my word you were not kidding when you said you did some damage earlier in the day!!! 🙂 It was super meeting you today!!! 🙂
Oh how I wish I could have been there with you guys. I sure hope it was a success for Kim. I imagine everyone loved the Copic marker tutorial by Jeanne. What an extraordinary talent she has. I have to say one more time how much it means to me that I got to spend time with you, Jeanne and Kim. My heart us so full……….!!!
AACK!!! I just can’t take it anymore!!! I am so jealous (in a good way!!). Glad to see you are having fun and I am just dying to see what you do with that giant martini stamp (is that what that is…in the lower right?)
It looks like you had a blast!! What a wonderful trip for you all.
OMG!!!! Looks like you all had a blast. You all are just too cute! I wish I was there!
OH SHUT UP!!! I’M SO EXCITED! I can’t wait to see what you ladies do with what you have! LOVE Ya. . . and you MUST come to Texas. I live so close to Jeanne! We could get into some trouble together!
