Good Friday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are starting to look forward to the weekend. I’ve had quite a few emails asking about Tara and my next Online monthly class. Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to do it as we planned with the holidays and life just getting in the way. We will resume the monthly classes starting in January, hope to see you then.

I just spent the past 4 days in Las Vegas for our Back Stage Conference. This was the 1st time I was able to go, and I was so excited. We stayed at the Red Rock Casino Spa Hotel, and this was my beautiful view every day.

Every morning, I would get up and open the curtains so I could look out at the beautiful mountains. I was on the 14th floor, so I was able to really admire them. They look like paintings, but they are not.

Once we registered, we got a heavy canvas bag filled with swag. We received a T-Shirt, Notebook & Pens to take lots of notes.

Amy stopped by my room before we headed down Monday for lunch to drop off this gorgeous gift. She is too thoughtful. I just love this necklace, it’s the perfect size.

Monday night there was a little stamping event that we could participate in, we did stop by, but didn’t do any stamping. We were all exhausted from traveling and the time change.

Everything officially started Tuesday morning and as you can tell, it all had a western theme.

They did a few recognitions, which is something they don’t normally do. I had to stand for a couple and one I had to walk up on stage. Anyone that knows me, knows I do not like getting up on stage or in front of people, but I did it and had to tell everyone my name and where I’m from.

Amy, Mary and I stopped for a photo by one of the props they had props in the hallways for.

On Wednesday, after my brain was on complete overload, they passed out copies of the January – April 2026 Mini Catalog. I really enjoyed the whole experience and all the sessions I went to. I was taken out of my comfort zone multiple times so now I’m ready to get back to my normal quiet life. Our next fun event will be OnStage in March in Long Beach CA, which I am so looking forward to.
