Convention - Day 1
Claire and I are having a great time here in Denver. It's 12:30am Eastern Time and we're still up and comparing the hundreds of swaps we've received - some good, some not so good. Claire edited my original comment.

Our flight was on time and smooth and uneventful. I napped most of the time. Apparently I forgot to print directions from the airport to the convention center. So, I attempted to impress Claire with my navigation abilities. I thought I remembered how to get here, but as the Rocky Mountains drew closer and we passed the city skyline, I made her check the map. It was just a minor detour and we were back on track and checking in by 11am!!! The gave us a wonderful tote bag and great stamp sets and make-and-take supplies. We shopped at the "Memento Mall" where we picked up some fun junk that we didn't really need but couldn't live without. Apparently there had previously been really cool key chains that sold out within the first hour!!! Next, we browsed through probably THOUSANDS of samples people had made. I took pictures of just about all of them. Someday I'll post them to Ofoto to share with you. There were some great ideas.

We wandered the city, changed into our PJs - oh, and I got dinner from Chipotle which is a block from the hotel, and went to the Pajama-Stamp-a-Rama. We weren't trying to get a group picture with the Stampin' Up! founder, but it worked out that way. Check out our INK Group photo...
