This was my regular swap for Convention 08, which was my first! My swap used 5 punches and had 7 layers. I guess I over did it. I thought it was nice, though, especially given the set used.
I have to say I was a bit disappointed by the number of people who shied away from my swap. But a BIG, HUGE THANKS to the three ladies who actually chased me down! You ladies made me feel a lot better!

I think your swap is great! I would have traded with you! I was not at convention this year but last year when I was at convention there were several SU demonstrators who would not swap with the girl I went to convention with and it was very hurtful for her. (she was a new demostrator and they didn't think her cards were up to their standards, what snobs) At Regionals this past year in Orlando there was a couple of girls from the South Florida area that were swaping swaps that they didn't even make...they were swaping ones that they no longer wanted! I was shocked! It only takes a couple of bad apples to sour the pot! I hope you enjoyed the rest of convention!

super nice! I like the flower around the date!
Sounded like a convention doomed from the start with people's attitudes.
I never would have even signed up for such a thing.
Sounds like they just wanted ideas because they couldn't think of ones on their own.
