Let me say to those who did not go, who thought they couldnt afford it that there were those of us were there on a shoestring but we managed and it was worth every cent. If there is any way you can manage next year dont miss it.The fun was just the bonus! It felt like a big girl slumber party. I shared a room with two other girls.What a hoot.Two of us shared a double sized bed.Felt like two hotdogs on a grill. Friday night we had the chance to register early and meet everyone. I'm a bit on the shy side but I have to say that I felt with this group ,I didn't know a stranger. What high energy.I'm still charged up.I met with friends from the Message board, some I had taken classes with.In retrospect I wish we had arranged a time for all to meet up for a group photo.I feel like we have a genuine sisterhood. "Girls in the hood" (you know who you are). Saturday the venders room was open and that is always fun.I had many questions answered about products and made new contacts.GREAT prices. Dang, I'm glad I waited for the show to stock up.The venders were generous with thier samples. I was not dissapointed in the Hoedown.Just enouph food and an open bar! What an entertaining night.I wish I could sing, but I knew if I did it would break up the party quicker than a drunken fight! We did dance though. OMG, and Kari Boatner ruled the dance floor. We all had our hats and boots on. I swear I'll never forget this weekend. The presentations were organized with good delivery.There was much to gleen from these seasoned experts.You cant get advanced education for this price! I was very pleased with the way the convention ran so smoothly. I am so appreciative of all those who spent many hours putting this together for us. We are so fortunate to have an association that is so engaged in our future. I was inspired,impressed,enriched and blessed.I thank those of you who introduced yourselves to me.There just wasnt enouph time to spend with all of you. I was so touched to know your concern for Spaz and the fires. Thank you SPCP for making these opportunities possible, and thank you Karla for starting this message board which was the vehicle that transported me into this new world. SPCP ROCKS! Lizzy

I am so glad you came and had a good time and learned lots. Sure love you girls. Wasnt Sandra Danchuck a love?

Sandra is such a lady. Kind, helpful and very pretty. We would have loved to have you with us babe, but you were a very busy girl! Liza, I didnt get many pictures.There was a guy there taking pictures and he took one of you I and OKTat.If you know how to get hold of him I would love to have a copy of that.I thought he took pictures for the luncheon but I did not see it.

I just have to add to Lizzys' post. It was an Incredible experience. I never want to miss another convention. My head is bursting with all the info that was crammed into it. Dr. Acostas' presentation was awesome, Lana Duke gave me a huge boost of confidence. Melony, Yolanda, Sandra, Liza, and David Vidra, you all rock. Meeting you Lizzy, Nancy, OKtat, Sandra, I feel such a sisterhood with all of you. So many more, just can't get all the names on this post. Our board of directors are an awesome group. We are all so blessed to have you. Gotta love the SPCP. Thank you all for making me feel so comfortable. Florida anyone???? Hollis

I agree with everyone's comments. It was a great convention. I hope to never miss any! In time I also hope to be able to make it to each conference as well. I bought Sandra's DVD on her glorious brows. For those that have not seen her work, it is equal (or shall I dare say sometimes passes) the wonderful work we see here. I plan to watch it at least 50 times! Oh, and Judy, thanks so much for telling me about the 'new' SPCP Marketing Kit that you helped develop. It is wonderful!! Once I get those tips going I bet my phone will be ringing off the hook. ha ha Yes, it was so wonderful seeing everyone again and also meeting new people from the board. It was so much fun. The BBP and David's workshop were wonderful. So were all the presentations. That's enough motivation and education to keep me going strong! Next year I do hope we all (our MB group) can meet up and spend some more time with each other. It was so nice seeing/meeting everyone!

Well , this was my first convention also. And I must say I hope not my last. I had so much fun. The education that I brought back will keep me going for some time ,ha!, at least until conference in Orlando. Now if you hear any stories about me being a bed hog or talking alot , I just want any future roommates to know that the stories are not true. My girls were soooo generous to talk me into having my own bed .And then they let me try all their sleeping pills in hopes that I would stop talking.. The best part is , I didn't snore. I can't wait to try all the new trade secrets that I learned . SPCP is the Best of the Best!!!And I am so glad to be a part of them. Nancy What fun to meet you all !!!

LOL Nancy, I gotta love ya. I guess I shouldnt have started those rumors.Girls, we had to beg her to take her own bed. She cringed at the thought of me trying to spoon up behind her,I could see it in her eyes. The beds were a bit smaller than anticipated and my bright idea of getting a handicapped room backfired.I woundered what happend to all my Abien! Nancy must have been taking it just so she could sleep through my stories. I think they slipped me some too. and where did the earplugs come from?!! OKTat and I slept like hotdogs on a rotisserie.On the plus side you wouldnt believe how well the 3 of us managed with getting ready in the mornings. Roomates?, I'd do it again. I have my price on what I would do to make it to another convention.hehe Lizzy

This was my first SPCP convention as well. I can only say this was the friendliest most unassuming group of women I've ever met. Everyone was so nice and this helped tremendously since I'm a little on the shy side. The convention was very well organized and the speakers were very informative. I'm on information overload right now. I'm trying to go over my notes so I won't forget anything. Thanks to all that made this a great experience for me. Thanks to all you girls I met in person for making me feel so comfortable. I can't wait to see you again. I hope we can all have more time to get to know each other next time.
