The fun begins!
Yeah! We’re finally here. I anticipate events like this for so long, it is a huge rush when they finally start. It feels a bit surreal. So far today I have hugged good friends I hardly see, registered and picked up my schedule, handed over my exhibit piece ( I’m SO glad I didn’t forget to bring it!), set up my space in the sales gallery and peeked at the Vendor Fair.
Iris Weiss of Polyform & Diane Villano
Betsy Baker next to her Sales Gallery space. It’s amazing what lovely displays some people can set up in a space that’s only 3 feet by 18 inches.
Karen Ottenbreit here from Alaska in front of her sales display. The Sales Gallery is a wonderful opportunity to see and purchase work from many of the amazing artist attendees.
Kelly Russell being her fun self. It is so great to reconnect with people you only see at events like this.
Tonight’s the Ford/Forlano presentation, more time at the Vendor Fair and a celebration of the IPCA’s anniversary with a cake by the Ace of Cakes!

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the photos and details of the Synergy 2 conference. I had really considered coming this year and just couldn’t pull it off. This is the next best thing to being there!
Hasn’t that nice of Vicki not to mention how goofy I looked??! I think I am going to get a great photo of you tomorrow and post it….beware of going around corners unaware! hehehe!
