Stamp Crazy with Alison

Convention Highlights…

August 26, 2008 by Alison Solven

26 Aug

Hello Stampers,

Here are some more pictures of my "gang" and I at Convention – it seems like so long ago but in reality it's only been a few weeks – time flies!

Okay…this is one of my favourtie people, Lisa Fedoruk.  Lisa must get sick of me telling people when they say "I don't have time to be a demonstrator" – my response is…"meet Lisa Fedoruk – she started as a demonstrator when her triplets were a year old!  Lisa is so bubbly and fun and talented…she's in my 5th level so I don't get to see her much but when I do she just lights me up!

She'll kill me for posting this picture…oh well…

Here's Elaine (from Kamloops) and Pam (from Coquitlam) with Pam's downline Kathryn (Port Moody).  Elaine and Pam have been with me since the beginning of SU's launch in Canada – over six years now – and they are still smiling!

I love this picture of Pam's downline – Lisa (who you've already met!); Sue and Anne.  They look so…well…Canadian! LOL

Momentomall2

Here we are at the Momento Mall – we waited in line about 2 hours but we all got what we wanted so we were happy!  L – R – Pam, Elaine, Betsy, Me, Liane, Ellie & Linda.

Lianealison

Here's Liane & I – I'm not sure why our "flags" are at half-mast – LOL  We were swapping the first day and we were stopped at least 1/2 dozen times and asked to pose for pictures in our hats….too funny…is this what Brangelina has to go through every day? 

Dinner3

Here we are at dinner – well most of us!  Starting on the left and going up towards me – Arlene, Pam, Linda (from Burlington and a member of my friend Sue's downline), Debbie (Port Alice); Me, Elaine, Ellie (my sister from Pickering), Mo (my sister from Toronto), Liane (Delta) and Kathryn.  This was a little micro brewery restaurant with awesome food…and beer of course.  Sue was taking the picture!

Onionring

They grow everything bigger in the US and food is no exception – look at the size of this onion ring!!  I felt like the teacher on romper room (Canadian kids show in the 60's) where she would look through her magic mirror and say "I see Sally and Debbie and Kathy and John"…she NEVER said "I see Alison".  LOL

Debbiealison

Lastly, here I am with my friend and downline Debbie Tompkins from Port Alice – Debbie has earned two cruises with SU! and just earned her $200,000 sales milestone award at Convention this year!

Well it was fun catching up with friends from near and far – funny how we have to go to Salt Lake City to actually see each other – looking forward to next year!

I'm sure that looking through these pictures for most of my blog visitors would be like sitting in someone's living room looking at slide after slide of their latest vacation – so thanks for endulging me in showing off my fabulous downline!  For those in my downline I will be posting more pictures in a special album on my blog in the next few days.

Happy Stamping!

Alison

    Wasn’t that “Magic Miss MaryAnn”? She would look through her mirror to “see” us!? My mom wrote to her once and she actually “saw” me on my birthday! I soooooooo remember Romper Room! 🙂 THanks for the walk down memory lane! 🙂 Patty
