STAMPAWAY USA RUBBER STAMP CONVENTION 2011 WAS GREAT!

I have been home for a week now and I have not yet gone through all my purchases from the convention.  I did purchase a lot of stamps to use in the coming months in my classes.  I had fun making my trades and trading with fellow stampers before the show opened.  Below I have posted a pick of my trade this year.  The vendors were great and I especially liked seeing all the new vendors this year.  I hope next year for their 20th that they will make it even bigger and better.

The classes were very good.  I just wish that the good classes weren't all scheduled at the same time.  Also why are there no classes scheduled for Thursday night any more.  I would rather sleep in and start later and have classes in the evening.  Others who are local or who have to travel on Thursday to get to Cincinnati would like to take classes on Thursday evening.  My sugesstion is more classes.  I would also like to teach a Stampscapes class there next year but I just don't know how to go about it!  This is something that may take me a while to figure out.  Teaching 40 to 50 is a lot different than teaching 20.  I would need help that is for sure.

I didn't feel well before I went and I had some more health problems while I was there but I have feeling much better now that I am home and back in the swing of things.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while!  I will try to do better job in the future.  Please forward my blog to follow stampers and please feel free to comment.
