Pre-convention Fun!!

Today was a great day in Salt Lake City!  My Downline, Laura, arrived this morning and she immediately wanted to do some shopping so we headed back over to City Creek Place.  What a beautiful mall that is!!  Here is a photo of some of the fountains...

 

We also stopped for a photo op in front of Temple Square...

  

After a quick lunch we headed back to the hotel to freshen up and then were off to the convention centre for my first swap.  This one was a double scrapbook layout swap that was such fun!  There were so many amazingly creative layouts...I'll post photos when I get home and can properly photograph them.

Then we were off to yet another swap and mingle event where we made four cute projects, feasted on an incredible candy buffet and met demonstrators from as far away as Australia!!

Now we are settling in for the night after a busy but fun-filled day.  The REAL fun begins tomorrow, as we will be on the first bus at 8:00 am to Riverton to tour the Stampin' Up home office.  We are both VERY excited to visit there!  Convention officially opens tomorrow at 5:00, so I'll have lots to share tomorrow night about the opening events.  Stay tuned....
