I have just returned from the Make Mine Pink Conference in Williamsburg VA. It was the most fantastic trip I have made in a long time. The speakers were awesome and we took away so much useful information for our business. The food was excellent and there was ALOT of it. Especially the chocolate. I got to visit old friends and make lots of new ones. This event is life changing and I would encourage anyone to consider this event next year.
We got in Williamsburg on Friday with a few hours to look around. We went to Colonial Williamsburg. Now keep in mind, I am from the Southwest. The Desert. The green and all of the history was mind boggeling to me. Something else we dont have in the desert are squirrels. Every time I go somewhere and I see them, I am facinated. I think they are the cutest things ever. They always seem happy and they are always running around and they look like they are having fun. Now, the people I am with find this odd. From what I understand they find squirrels kind of a pest. They really cant figure out why I chase them around with my camera to take there picture. Everytime someone sees my vacation pictures, someone always says "why did you take so many pictures of the squirrels.?" So ya all can think I am a little off, but I like this little guy!
Next are a few pictures from my display that I entered in the Business Recognition Award compition. The entries were beautiful. The compition was very stiff and the winner was Eileen of Forget me not Dreams. Her display was just so pretty and inspirational. Everyone did a great job and they were so professional. I plan on having a few posts this week, so stop back by. So until next time.......gail

Hi Gail! It was wonderful getting to meet you in person. Your display was so beautiful and feminine. Loved the bears. Thanks for a wonderful show and tell with the pics. Squirrels??? They tend to scare me at times since they are so quick to squirrel around. Determined little buggers. When I see them getting acorns, I imagine them saying, "get ready, Winter is right around the corner!". Hugs

Hey Gail girl. It was wonderful to meet you. I LOVE my bracelets. By the way, as an animal nut, I don't think you were weird at all. I used to have a squirrel come get food from my hand every day from my deck. I love squirrels.
Hi Gail,
I really enjoyed meeting you. Is that the squirrel that Shell was talking to??? lol When Tom and I went to Niagra Falls last year I swear there was one in the park doing tricks for the visitors that came there. Who says rodents are dumb??? Can't wait to hook up with you again. Your a great lady.

Totally cute!

Love the squirrel we have 2 that are regular visitors in the garden, along with a family of 3 hedgehogs and now we think 2 badgers, judging by the holes under the fences and the pits in the garden. Heard them at night but not seen them yet.
Love your display.
Hi Gail,
So much fun to hear your stories of your trip to Retreat....wish I could have been there....maybe next year. Sounds like everyone had a great time...I love Williamsburg, too. By the way, your picture of the squirrel is really, really good. I always have a hard time photographing them because they are so squirrely (I mean they move so fast). Your display looks beautiful!!!
Hi Gail your display table was beautiful! Sounds like you had a great time at the retreat. Looking forward to seeing more photos!
lOL Gail, squirrels are considered pests here too but I love them. Ours are very well fed by the pecan trees in our yard and what they steal from the bird feeders.
It was so nice to meet you and hope to see you again at the CL event or the next Retreat...your display was beautiful!
