Back from Silver Bella!

Heeelllllooo! I'm back to blogging...and boy do i have a lot to blog about. I'm exhausted from traveling...almost thought our baggage was lost on  the way back after waiting at the baggage claim for 45 minutes...staring at empty carousels...but all is well.

Ok, first of all...Silver Bella was AMAZING! That Teresa sure does know how to put on an event. Everything was SO beautiful...look at these picture of the luncheon on Friday!! Look at all the details! And we all had the opportunity to meet a couple editors from Country Living magazine who were there covering the event with photographers and all! Exciting! I hope to follow up with them soon. ;-) wink wink...

And it was so fun hanging with the "Jennifer 7"! We had a couple of meals with Jennifer, Jana and the rest of the "seven"...Such lovely people!! I'm so glad we had the opportunity to meet!

And what else...oh, the classes were phenomenal! I soooo enjoyed meeting all of my teachers...Charlotte, Jenny and Aaron, Pam, and Teresa of course. The projects were fab and i can't wait to finish them all up with my personal touches at home. Meeting them was a dream come true!

And oh boy did i have fun at the Vendor night!!!!! It was so exciting setting up and i can't believe how well we did! A big THANK YOU to all the Silver Bella shoppers...you made one of my many dreams come true. The interactions with all of you was PRICELESS. I got to meet so many people i chat with through email and having a make and take really allowed us to bond over a well needed craft break in the busy show room. I can't even explain how exhausted we were after the vendor night...we went to the bar and had some well deserved champagne...met Dede and Vicki there (hey girls!), ordered a cheeseburger to go and more champagne and headed up to the room and crashed! Here are some photos of my tables: And yes, i will be continuing the vendor night in the Polka Dot Parlor!!! So if there's something you wish you purchased or if you were not able to go and would like to purchase some Christmas goods...take a peek in the ETSY shop! I will be adding the items TOMORROW! So check the shop on NOVEMBER 13th. Also, if you ordered a DIY banner kit from me before i left for SB, i will be shipping those kit on Wednesday...so if you see something you'd like to get from the Silver Bella selection i will of course combine the shipping for you and send i all out together.

Ok...i've got A LOT of unpacking to do...be back soon. :-)

Candice, it was SOOOOOOOO fantastic meeting you & your beautiful mama! I hate it that we didn't get a pic together (at least I don't have one on my camera) but I will always treasure our time together in Omaha and hope our paths cross again in the future.

I am reading the blogs of those who went and I am kicking myself for not going. I must go to a Bella event! The shopping looked amazing!

It was so good to have your familiar happy face in a few of my classes. Loved have your sweet mama there too. I am sorry I missed your table vendor night, but you KNOW I had to dash on over to Ms Garrison and Ms McFoof~a~La's tables before I missed out. I'll be at the door waiting for your etsy shop to open tomorrow. Thanks for always being so sweet Candice and helping an unprepared Bella. Sorry if I bent your ear after the mimosa's on vendor Night also.. Oy!! I might have been a bit of a bad bella!!!

Hi Candice! One of the "Jennifer 7" here. It was so great meeting you and your Mother! I am also kicking myself for not getting one of your Silver Bella tri fold mini albums. I would love to still buy one from you if you still have one available.

Also kicking myself for not having you sign my Foof book!

Candice, it was such fun to meet you! Your table was gorgeous, and I loved seeing your work--it's even more beautiful in person than on the computer! LOL I can't wait to put together the album kit that I purchased and make piles and piles of crepe paper rosettes. :) My mom bought the beautiful "Merry" banner--lucky girl! I know she is just tickled with it. Congratulations on your success! :D

Everyone was soooo amazed at your rockin' vendor night table -- you were the talk of many a Bella! Seemed we just weren't meant to spend any time together in Omaha -- so glad you live in CA so we can continue to play here!! Hoping next year YOU are on the teacher list!!

Hugs to you and Suzanne!

Oh everything looks so dreamy! I really need to get there next year....I have been soaking it all up through everyone's blogs. I can't wait to see what else you put on etsy :-) So glad that you had a wonderful time! Congrats on doing well at Vendor Night. Looking forward to hearing more about silver bella!!!
