Stampfest Orlanda Wrap Up!

I finally made it home today. Rather tired and definitely in a comatose state. We left for the airport this morning around 7:15 and by the time we got everything together, I just made my flight. I have to tell you, trying to check in a rental car is definitely not fun and very unorganized. They had us running from the Terminal Desk to the Garage and back to the Terminal Desk – if we had to make one more trip across I think I would have screamed! Then, giving the goodbye hugs to Jeanne, Kim and her daughters (who are so adorable) I headed off to security. Long lines, everyone being told to move to the right, they thought there was something funny in my purse. Yep, had to have it personally checked. They zoomed right in on the sunglasses, and opened that case up, only to find a pair of prescription sunglasses! Then I think just to delay me a little longer, he opened up all the papers to look at them, flipped through my books, took their sweet time. I understand that security is important, but sunglasses and books. Yep Bad Sherry, terrorist in action —- duh! Had to catch the tram and run to the gate – I made it right at the end of A Boarding – whew 5 minutes to spare! The challenge now – to find somewhere to put all the new goodies.

To catch you up, Sunday was the last day and what fun Jeanne and I had! We told ourselves we were not going to buy any new stamps – BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! We wanted to look at the accessories and make and takes. Well guess what – yep, more stamps and a few accessories!

We did run into a few Splitcoasters on Sunday – it is so nice to be able to put faces with names! As you can tell, we were having a wonderful time.

So as you can see, someone mentioned Rockettes and that’s all it took. Legs went up and we were grasping knees, laughing the entire time! Not one of us were a bit shy. Left to right we have Kim van der Sanden from My Favorite Things, Me, Kirsten DuBosque (Ked on SCS), Jeanne, and Mimi Hornberger (solrbunny on SCS). We did draw quite a bit of attention – IMAGINE THAT!!!!

Mimi was just too cute and way too funny! It’s a shame these girls weren’t around on Saturday – I doubt the hotel could have handled it all actually!

Here Jeanne and I are with Kirsten! Looking forward to spending more time with these girls!

Well, that’s about it for Stampfest Orlando 2007. Although I must say that I had absolutely wonderful time. It was like I had known Jeanne for years and we started off talking and didn’t end til I got on the plane. She actually had told me that Saturday night, as we were talking right after lights out, that I started babbling something very incoherent, I rolled over and she knew then that she had lost me – serious conversation over. Of course, that is after I mistook my eye drops for nasal spray and took a couple of snorts. Meeting Kittie was just a major highlight of the week and I was so thrilled that we at least got to spend a few hours with her. What a joy Kittie is! I was also delighted to have met Candy Williams, a fellow DD team member. She has a wicked sense of humor, is so much fun, and I think, may be just a little BAD!

I can’t say enough about Kim (My Favorite Things). She’s funny, generous to the max, and just a fantastic person! Her daughters are adorable and her husband is one of the most patient and doting husbands I’ve ever seen. What a great family she has!

I feel so honored and blessed to have met these ladies and to call them my friends! I can’t wait until we can all meet up again – can someone say ROAD TRIP!
