Just back from the whirlwind of overstimulation that is Americasmart.
Wow, what a great trip. The inspiration, warm friendships, networking, productive meetings, tired feet, oh my gosh the tired feet ... did I mention the inspiration? And great friends? Yeah. All of that, and then some.
I wish I had made this one up: my friend Sue kept calling it "Icelanta" - oh my gosh, what a week to visit The South.
Serious ice still blanketed many streets, but the view from above was stunning.
These shots were snapped while enjoying a lovely reception hosted by the Greeting Card Association at the Westin's Sun Dial (it rotates, like the Space Needle!).
Back home again to real-life, lots of follow-up ... and feeling crazy-inspired to start new projects. A pretty good place to be, I'd say.
Thanks, everyone who made the week such a great experience!
Love the pics Beth! You have a great eye for photography too.. I especially like the Westin's Sun Dial pics - but be careful when leaning on the railings LOL!!

I love the pictures!
I recall thinking that my one glass of whine was getting to me for the room was spinning.
Thanks for all those magical memories my friend.
