I am back from the Stampin’ Up! Leadership conference in Nashville, TN.  I was bound and determined to get there even through ice and snow!  I am so glad that I made it and it was the best time ever!  We were busy from the time we got up until the time we went to bed each and every day.  I stayed an extra day for a smaller stamping event a another demonstrators house that lives near Nashville so Saturday was almost just as busy as Thursday and Friday.  I got home Sunday afternoon about 5 or so, unpacked the car and dumped it all inside the house.  Aspen and Magnolia were super excited to see me!  I got my normal lecture from Aspen – “how could you leave me?”, “why were you gone so long?”, “don’t go back out that door”.  He literally won’t let me get back out the door without coming with me – he is very determined that I won’t go out again without him.  A little while later I sat on the coach – I was able to watch my recording of Grey’s Anatomy and then fell asleep.  It did seem that the weather last week not only messed up the roads, the school schedule, the mail service, garbage service and UPS deliveries but apparently messed up the TV schedules – I set the DVR to record some shows while I was away and when I tried to watch some today – it was the wrong show – even though the TV listing had the right show – weird – I guess I have to try to find them on the internet.

I’ll have more stories to tell and pictures to share and all the rest of the excitement from leadership.  Today I made an MDS page about Leadership Roommates.  This year I shared a room with Diane, Becky and Wendy.  We realized late on Friday night that we didn’t have any pictures of the four of us.  Actually it was probably already Saturday morning by this time – we were up until about 3 AM.  I got my camera out and remembered it had a timer so that I could set up the camera and then run over to be in the shot.  Luckily it had a 10 second timer and the option to have it shoot 3 shots back to back.  So that was what we did and boy were we laughing.  Here is the result:

The layout for this page came from a My Digital Studio book that we were able to get at Memento Mall – I took an idea from one of the pages in there and merged it with one of the photo templates that the program has.  Stampin’ Up! is releasing a Leadership Conference exclusive digital kit for MDS that is designed to go with the Leadership theme, colors and logo.  I plan to us it for most of my pictures but I did want to start sharing some with you while I wait on that to become available.

Have a wonderful day!
