Set-Up Day at Synergy

Being the first day, it was primarily dedicated to getting set up (and getting tons of hugs, and meeting people I e-know but haven’t yet meet in person.) It was a wonderful, crazy, whirlwind of a day. I didn’t get shots of eye candy yet– that will be done over the next few days for sure–but to give you a taste of who is here and what is going on, here are a few shots of the vendors and guests.

LeAnn Armstrong, creator of the Simple Slicer (which we reviewed last issue) was the first person to ‘hug attack’ me. She’s a little thing with a HUGE personality and a big heart. What a great person to greet me those first few minutes after I arrived!

Barbara McGuire, my hotel roommate and my saving grace (she came to my airport hotel to pick up me and my 100+ pounds of magazines and ‘stuff’ to got me to the conference!) is standing next to her very unique table of mixed media items that attendees were oh-ing & ah-ing over!

Iris Weiss of Polyform (Premo, Sculpey, etc.) teased us with new, not-yet-available products that will be rolling out next month. She was teasing, but I did get promised that we’ll get the new items to review. Yay!

Okay … more tomorrow but I’m going after the pretty pieces being worn and shown today.
