Seminar FUN!! Long Post!!







Hello!! I'm still excited about all the great time I had at Seminar last weekend!! It was so much fun! I need to share with you some highlights, because you have to be there to feel all the love and all the SPARK that was there!

First, I arrived on Wednesday, I was supossed to be at 7 in Dallas to travel with my Dear Friend Ginger, but my plane was delayed on Miami (what a messy airport) well I was late, so I need to go on the other plane to Wichita at 9:40 so I arrived at the Hyatt about 11:30 pm, there was Ginger waiting for me and we went to eat something at the hotel's restaurant!! Then right to the room where I was supposed to finish my trades!! At least I finished my Club Med trades. During the morning Ginger made a Chai Tea!! ohhhhhh my gosh!! that is incredible (She is a Chocolatier, check her site!) and some almonds and cranberries cover with chocolate, oh la la!! I wasa blessed to be here roomie for one night!! lol, It was such a pleasure to spend that time with her, if you know her, you know what I'm talking about, but if you don't check her site!! now. Then we just went to Club Med, that time was incredible awesome too!! Finally I met with Jackie and Margo, plus all the Club Med girls!! (Mabelle, Julie, Rita Holmes, Rita Kegg, Rita Wetzel, Pat Genardo and her Sassy Girls, Diane, Carol, Nancy Grant, Candy, Holly and more and more wonderful angels!!)

Then we went to the newbie section to be Papparazi for them, yes Club Med girls went to be their paparazzi!! and after that we chat a lil bit there at the Hotel and went to eat to Spangles (Ginger, Jackie, Margo and me!!) that place is very nice!! ask Jackie!! lol Then back to our team's meeting!! Where I got to met with Heidi, Beth, Dawnmarie, her mother, and all the other girls!! I received the Top Recruiter award and Top Seller #3 on Jackie's team "The Creative Cherubs". Ohhhhhh my everything was soooooooooo fast!! then to Walmart and other stores to buy some stuff!! you know girls need to celebrate!! and we have a nice night!! We went to the lobby to spend some funny time, I met Becky Johns, Robin, Kathleen Buchannan, Tonya Williams, Cherryl Pooh (yes, I spent some nice time with Cherryl again, she is just a sweettie!!), and more girls!! Yes, GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN!!!

On Friday, ohhhhhhhhh what a day!! there was classes and make and takes!!! all day!! it was very nice!! but lot of work!! lol We worked with the new collections, new stamps and new tools!! WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! we was so tired, that we order pizza!!! and then the comedian show!! (I was not going to go to that event, but I knew there was a surprise for us, so I have to be there!!) and yes, the most beautiful moment!! happened there!! I MET THE CUSTOMER SERVICE team!! those girls ROCK!!! if you are an angel, you know what I'm talking about!!! It was fantastical to put faces with names!! I love those girls!! (Shannon, Betty, Sherry and Connie!! and of course Jodi that is not on the CS staff, but she ROCKS!!) we spent more time at the lobby and back to the room.

On Saturday, I was soooooooooo tired myself, but I went to all the classes and finished all the projects, well without pictures!! When I got into the room I was sooo tired that I thought not going to the banquet!! but I did it, and I'm so glad that I did it!! Them started recognizing the Catalog Designers!! yessssss I was a catalog designer with other angels!! I want to say Congratulations to them also: Nicole, Ginger, Carol Norby, Carol Hirsh, Julie Robinson, Julie Griffith, Marissa Alvarez, Barb Foster, Seleise, Barb Limone, Vickie Hook, Mary Moilanen, Leah, Trudy, Pam, Kim, Laurie, Rita Wetzel and some more!! I received Top Recruiter award (yes, I had 11 on this year!!), my dear friend Ginger got the Rising Star award!!!, Jackie got the Top Sales award, Margo, Ginger, Pat and Beth go to stage for promotions!! and my DEAR RITA HOLMES got the Angel Award!! OHHHHHHHHHH what a moment!! My Dear Julie Griffith got the Angel of the year award also!! what a day!!! There was a lot of emotions there!! but a fabulous night! Then back to the lobby to share with the girls just one more night!! It was an amazing time with the girls, I mean with ANGELS! because they are really angels!! I can't forget to said I met with Yuki and Shannon again!! those girls are incredible awezome!! At the last night I spent some time with two girls that are SUPER!! Julie Griffith and Holly Mays! oh girls you are SPECIAL, thanks for be there with me while I wait for the key to my room! (long storie) but thanks to Shannon I got it and just went to the room to change my cloth and back to the fun!! I hope that I don't forgot anyone!! because it was really special! Thanks for being the way you are!!
