HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Valentine's Day Crafts

This past week, my daughter and I had a fun time making some Valentine crafts.  Like most kids, they love doing crafts.  Since Valentine’s Day is around the corner, we decided to look for some craft ideas.

I got some great ideas here.  My daughter loved making the tissue paper flowers.  We made different sizes using all different colours.  My daughter even sprayed them with perfume to make it that much more real.  She went a little crazy with the perfume...my bathroom smelled for quite a few hours. I remember growing up and making these flowers using Kleenex when someone was getting married.  We would spend hours making the flowers to put on cars.

My dining room table is filled with craft supplies since my daughter wants to try the butterfly craft and  heart puppets.  It’s such simple fun and great bonding time.  I highly recommend it!  Happy crafting!

Staging Conference Delivers Big

Well I am back from an action filled conference in Las Vegas.  I had the opportunity to attend both the RESA (Real Estate Staging Association) and CSP (Certified Staging Professionals) conference.  They were amazing events and were filled with great speakers, networking opportunities and useful information.

I was able to meet great people such as Matthew Finalson from HGTV's The Stagers, Kimberley Seldon and Bodine Balasco.

I was able to network with many other stagers from the US and Canada and learn new things.

There were also a lot of great vendors and suppliers present.  I was able to meet up with Jeff Waltrip, VP of Sales and Marketing for Next Stage Furniture.  I am so excited about upcoming plans we have to work closer together.

Las Vegas is a great place to visit.  The conference took up most of my time but I did squeeze in a bit of time to do some gambling and shopping.  I also got the chance to see the Cirque du Soleil Mystere show.  It was amazing and I recommend it to anyone going to Vegas.  I am looking forward to the 2012 conference already!
