Welcome to my 365 Pals

Catching Up Again Days 67-71

I've been on the road again. This time my travels took me back to the great state of Michigan,but this time I was in Novi at the Great Lakes Mega Meet Scrapbook Convention. I had the great opportunity to work with the CTMH team led by Michelle Nist. It was wonderful to meet all of the consultants I've been reading about & posting with on our Big Ten site. And I learned so much too! I ran into some great folks from Columbus and visited with the scrappers I had met in Gaylord. So if you ever get the chance to go, the convention is held every year on Mothers Day weekend. Being able to meet new friends, visit with old friends, see & buy new product is more fun than any scrapper could hope for in one weekend. Now back to life at home and the 365 Card Challenge:
