What do you call an event that brings together over one hundred creative Women with glittering personalities that have a common passion for paper arts? Silver Bella of course! I returned yesterday from this amazing gathering and have to say it was absolutely the most fun I have had in a long time. Just the idea of sharing a hotel with Women who enjoy living a creative lifestyle was simply wonderful. Finally meeting some of the amazing friends from blog land was especially fun. I picked up Ms Sparkles Heather at the airport and I don't think we ever stopped laughing the entire weekend! Then hanging out with Sweet Beth and adorable "The Karla" was perfect. I can't forget about Ms Stacy from Texas (girl get that blog) who was a life saver and helped me at vendor night. We had the very same class schedule and it was so much fun being with her! When I signed up for Silver Bella a few months ago, I decided to take part in the whole experience~classes,swaps and vendor night! The prima Bella herself Teresa also treated us to a fantastic luncheon on Friday and we were delighted to have the Senior Editors from Country Living Magazine, Frances Bailey and Monica Michael Willis as our guest speakers. They were there the entire three days photographing the event for Country Living~more about that later! Vendor night was unbelievable. The booths were beautiful, I had several favorites. I scurried with the help of Texas Stacy to set up my booth, and I must say the response that I received was truly overwhelming. I just had no idea what to expect. 
I sold almost everything that I had brought with me for vendor night which made packing up much more enjoyable. Thank you to the sweet girls who bought my things, I am so glad we are such kindred spirits.
I was also very fortunate to be one of the booths photographed by Country Living and get the chance to speak with Frances and Monica, they were so nice and very interested in my little shop in Missouri. Thank You!
The whole weekend was such a blast and I will be posting more pictures of the swap I was in and classes!
