Tammy was a gracious hostess and what I admired that her smile never faltered. The stampede definitely ran like a smoothly oiled machine. Of course there were some hiccups here - aren't there always? But the way it was handled - well I'll say that that's the way it needs to be handled! Calm under pressure.
I had 2 main reasons going to Dallas even though I knew I would be a little tough for me
1) To meet Sheila!!!! To meet Sheila and to meet Sheila. I met her and she was everything I imagined!!
I also was so fortunate to meet Melissa and Roberta. I wish we all can stay in touch. And do I have to say - I met Beth again. And when they left I cried!!
2) To go to Tammy's resort once. She is such a gracious calm hostess! Grace under Pressure!
Before posting pictures I just wanted to say this - lol this was a phrase I loved and used by one of the attendees (I think I'll definitely be smacked for this - but what can we call us - the attendees - consider that for swarms they call us - bees or insects "swarm" lol - so "stampede" - cows? well there were some bulls too lol so are we cattle?
Ouch!! I didn't even finish my thought and someone smacked me already? )
Ouch!!

At stampmaker table with Charlie. Yeah! after this I am getting my stampmaker out of the box. Charlie was such a dear. He explained things so well and he had a lovely Australian accent (I think).
The stamp I made
Well that's it. I will post our projects later. We played pass the pictures and make a layout and pick the card and assemble in our table. It was fun. well that's for another day :)
