The theme of this year's convention was Dreams Happen...if you dream it, you can do it. Everything was about stars and dreams, they did such a great job of carrying the theme all the way through with every touch.

Convention bag - so cute!
All the loot for our make n takes and convention t-shirt.
I finished 3 out of 4 of my make n take projects - pretty good for me!
The venue was Wild Horse Pass Resort - absolutely gorgeous view and accommodations!
All of the presentations by the Journey staff were fantastic.
Lynn Leusch demonstrated several new floral sets and man, are they pretty!
Richard and Dustin demonstrated the new superhero stuff.
Dan Arwine demonstrated several new western and cactus themed sets.
One of the things I loved was of course the coordinating everything! After each morning and afternoon demonstration, they would take a snack break and all the snacks would reflect the theme of what was just demonstrated. This one was after Dan's cowboy presentation.
Richard brought out all the Garay boys for a demonstration. His 4 sons, his brother who works at the Journey Station and his dad. Then his mom came out with a little encouragement which was pretty cool!
Friday evening was the awards ceremony and dinner. Beautiful, fancy dinner and décor. It was fun celebrating all the achievers. Pretty incredible accomplishments for some of those rockstar women for only a three year old company!
Even the bread bowl was beautiful!
Here I am waiting for all my friends. Just kidding, I didn't have any, but I made a lot of new ones!
StPetra is a Fun Stampers Journey Coach and that girl can dance! I think she was on the floor nonstop for 3 hours! So much fun!
I loved visiting with Kim Kesti, FSJ Design Manager and Michelle Woerner who works as a remote designer.
It was a wonderful convention and I loved every minute of it!
