Day {three} of Convention highlights 2011

Here it is..... the final day of highlights from my most AMAZING convention trip to Melbourne!! Ohhhh it was soooo much fun and it's been heaps of fun too reliving the moments here as I put his pic together!!
I'll warn you now there's A LOT to this one, many cool pic's to share so before we start, grab your fav beverage, get comfy, and sit with me awhile......

The last general session of the day certainly didn't disappoint!!! Not only were there great presentations, super prize patrols and some words of wisdom from the team from USA we were also ALL (yes 470 of us!!!) given 3 wonderful gifts of goodies, sneak peaks in fact from the new catty (released in Sept 2011) Oooooo it was soooo exciting and gave the whole room a real buzz, here is Kim and I afterwards

Then it was time to get ready for the awards dinner!!! What a grand affair this always is! I love dressing up and enjoying a delicious meal and sharing it with my fellow friends. This year I was also very, VERY blessed to have my sister Sarah come along for the festivities sooo it made it all the more special!!!
This is us before we go inside!!!!

Sarah couldn't resist taking a pic of me in front of my "Workshop WOW" samples pinned on the display board!!! Really what a WOW indeed!!!

Now for some cake..... well at least a pic with a HUGE cutout number!!!! hee he!! This fun cake was to celebrate our 5th year in AUS/NZ and everyone got to sign it!!!

Once we shared dinner we were off to the convention room to do the award part of the eve! Such an amazing group of women who work with SU and their hard efforts when they make it a business are NOT overlooked!!
In saying that I received an award for my sales again this year.... YAY!!! thanks to you my lovely customers and friends!!! ANd one for a career sales achievement of $100,000 since signing up nearly 4years ago.

The super squeeze from Shelli..... she actually whispered in my ear how gorgeous I looked!!! WOW coming from her... one of the stylist and most well dressed women I know, it was a HUGE compliment!!!! Thanks Shelli!!!!

Time for another shot with my special, beautiful, wonderful sister

Afterwards we all gathered outside to catch up with some last goodbyes and get ready for the walk back to our apartment.... note the bear feet... love that about fancy dinners!!!


At the apartment the lift wall is full of mirrors so I took one last "do it yourself" before the night was officially over.
