Acorns in Florida – Part 1 (Days 1 to 3)
We made it to Orlando this past Monday. The long flight, long lines at immigration, and then a drive in the dark with seven passengers made for an interesting and very long day (about 18 hours). Some of the team are totally overwhelmed by the vastness of the place (and the huge choice of food and drinks on menus) and the weather (hot and really humid). Everyday so far has been bad hair day for me!!
Day 1
Tuesday was spent visiting all the various craft stores that everyone wanted to visit – Michaels, Joann’s and Hobby Lobby. I’ve never been to a Hobby Lobby and was totally overwhelmed by it!
Day 2
The day started with bag pick-up. Not too early in the morning though. This was just as well because the SatNav sent us on a huge circle which added a few miles to our journey from the villa to the Convention Centre.
In the afternoon some of the team went to Epcot and the others to Disney Springs. Epcot is where Stampin’ Up! held their evening CentreStage event for top demonstrators. The evening was filled with karaoke and desserts. Sara Douglass made one announcement and I’ll be posting details of the announcement very soon.
I was glad to fall into my bed at midnight, but not before I finished my fancy fold swaps!
Day 3
Wednesday started bright and early. This was just as well because the traffic from our villa to the Convention Center was a bit of a nightmare. The day was pretty full on – swaps, catalogues handed out, four prize patrols, all attendee giveaways, business talks, product spotlights, Shelli and others stamping and of course a couple of make n takes.
The Acorns with their Spring/Summer Catalogues. Oh what to choose for pre-order?
Check back soon to see the Make n Takes.
Happy stamping.
