Close to My Heart Annual Convention 2014!!!

You know that saying, "time flies when you're having fun?"  Well, now imagine you are at the Close to My Heart Annual Convention in DISNEYLAND and tell me how fast the time flies!

I KNOW, RIGHT???

So one week ago, this was the scene in my room...

I was packing up and hitting the road for the annual CTMH Convention in Disneyland...CRAZY!

Well, I made it, and I can't believe it is already over!  Here are some pics of the highlights of my trip!

Convention Bag!!!  LOVE!!!!

(Cute and sparkly nails complements of my friend, Beth!)

The Damask Divas TEAM!!!  ( I am on the far left!)

Team Been There, Blinged That!  (those of us at convention anyway, lol!)  :)

Me at Disneyland Castle!

Me with Mickey!  Well, not quite...

THERE he is!  With my friend, Shelly!

My friend Dana, and I were on FIRE!  ;)

Oh my goodness, is there anything better than that headboard?!?

I might not have found sticky boy, but I found Kristine Widtfeldt!!!  Even BETTER!

NOW, I know this all looks like fun and games, bet we had some SERIOUS WORK to do at convention, I assure you!  (giggles)  Tune in tomorrow for some sneak peeks of the FANTABULOUS NEW Cricut Artfully Sent Cartridge EXCLUSIVELY available from Close to My Heart in the new Annual Inspirations Idea Book!  Don't faint!  Just tune in tomorrow!  ;)

Happy Buttons for the Happiest Place on Earth!

Happy!!!

How else could I possibly feel surrounded by all things Disney and Close to My Heart, lol!?

The cat is finally out of the bag, and I can share the secret behind these Happy Buttons seen all over convention...(and if I had actually clicked on publish, this would have been live earlier today, lol.)

The one and only CTMH Consultant Tresa Black put together the greatest show on earth for the happiest place on earth!  AND we pulled it off...a flashmob of CTMH consultants to the song Happy by Pharrell Williams! It was so incredible!!!  Check that one off the bucket list! 

I am sure you can find some video on YouTube by now, and I will come back to link one up when I find one!


UPDATED WITH THE LINK!!!!!!!

Here is the link to the amazing Tresa Black's blog with the video!  :)  I am in the upper level to the left of the stage!

Close to My Heart Convention 2014, Here I Come!!!

I have never really been a huge fan of packing...mostly because I always forget something!!!

Here is a sneak peek of some things I have stashed in my suitcase as I make my way to Disneyland for this year's Close to My Heart annual convention!

Dress for Awards Banquet

New convention logo T-shirt!

New Team T-shirt!!!

I can't show you the rest of the goodies just yet, so sit back, and have a great week as I bring you all the AMAZING announcements to come!

Here is one to keep you satisfied until I get unpacked--Corporate has already announced a BRAND NEW CRICUT COLLECTION is being revealed!!!  I won't even be able to get my hands on it until you do in August, but I can show you some of the great artworks the talented ladies at convention have to show us!  See you soon!
