For whatever reason I have wanted to walk a labryinth...so I finally do and peaceful/reflective it was not, at least not initially.
With all the frigid temps
and snow, there are crazy-big icicles all around. I wanted to get a photo for
the blog of huge icicles on my neighbor's home and what do I find when I open
the back door of my garage?
This! Rather cool - some are just inches
from the ground.
Don't think I'll be grilling any time soon.

...and lots and lots of snow. I love how snow totally changes the
landscape.
This is Jodi's cookie tray and may I just say she is quite the
baker. Her sugar cookies are amazing and that middle cookie is one of my
favorites...a pain to make, but so, so good.

The exhibit hall opened at 7:00 am for The Women's Conference. The crowds were even
better than they were the evening before at the Night at The Village. Tuesday was the big day
for the actual conference. Check out the Main Stage Agenda - beyond that there were
also many breakout sessions to partake of...rather impressive. Johanna was kind
enough to cover the booth while I went to the arena to hear some of the
speakers. I was SO EXCITED!
I looked around the arena and I am telling you she had a captive
audience...hardly anyone was moving about. The story she tells about what
happened at the beach after her mother passed away is some thing to
hear.
girltrunks had
another fabulous day! We continued to hear FINALLY and IT'S ABOUT TIME. The
booth had lot and lots of activity - we even had women trying on girltrunks right over their clothes in the
aisle...gotta love that. Brochures were going fast and I even gave one to Caroline
Kennedy. I am creating that she gave it to Maria Shriver and Maria gave it to Oprah and/or that she shares it with her
boating friends at Hyannis Port. A girl can dream, right?!

Monday was the opening evening for...
...where girltrunks exhibited.
Here is the evolution
of the booth...
My friend, Johanna setting up the day before.
We had to be
show ready by 2:00 so they could do a bomb sweep of the exhibit hall before they
opened the doors. We arrived all dressed up and worked on the finishing
touches.
...the booth is done
While the bomb sweep was taking place we made our way to the
lobby and just watched everyone. I LOVE people watching by the way. We're
sitting there and who walks right by us but Maria Shriver...kind of cool.
The convention center was packed. It was a fantastic crowd full of
happy, happy people. I walked around a bit to partake in all the activity and
energy...and...to see if I might site any celebrities which I did not. They did
pipe the various celebrity talks throughout the exhibit hall which was great.
Here is a photo of Martha Beck interviewing Paula Deen...imagine the sound of Paula's
laugh throughout the exhibit hall!
One thing that just blew me away was all of the people
that were buying books to have signed by the various authors...it was
unbelievable. Check out the agenda for
the Night at The Village including the various book-signing shifts..rather
impressive.
Back
to the hotel we went. The next day was going to be a busy one as we had to
check out because we were leaving for Santa Monica after the Women's Conference for another event, yes I
said another event. Plus we had to be at the convention center
bright and early.
