Scented Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Cept in her case she might want to prepare for the fire department too I'm not sure your room should be connected to ours now! ROFLMAO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jecwittm Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Corence and Debbie.....this was my first conference, too. I was so apprehensive that I even had second thoughts about going and ended up arriving quite late. :embarasse Now I can kick myself for doing that!!! I learned a lot, bought a lot, and felt like it was Christmas with the goodie bags and door prizes! Everyone was so warm and helpful. My fears were immediately allayed! My daughter had a fantastic time. She’s such a people person. I don’t do B&B but, after this conference, she’s hooked! You better bet I won’t be late next year!!!

slow-burn Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I quite honestly cannot believe the group of ladies that seem to think that they were angels. I quite honestly think that Tabitha and I were the best behaved of the bunch. You all would of been lost without us. We tried like the dickens to keep everyone else on their best behavior, but lordy, these ladies can dictate some peer pressure They were trying to get me and Tabitha to do things that we NEVER would of thought of doing! I could not believe the way they behaved For those that do not know me, I am quite full of shit Although, they would of been lost without us, and their tummies probably wouldn't of hurt so bad I had a wonderful time getting to see Kim, Ginger, Terri, and Leslie again. And I had a blast getting to meet Debbie and Tabitha for the first time! I can't wait till I get to see everyone again! I haven't laughed that hard in I don't know how long! And don't worry ladies, all your secrets are safe with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemakingkid Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I have to agree with Slow-Burn. She was an angel. At least I am sure the man standing in front of her did when she exclaimed, "Well, I don't wear underwear." Yes I do believe when he heard that he thought you were heaven sent.

Deb Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 While I admit, that we did have a good time and lots of laughter, we also had our serious times. I believe Heather's underwear comment was part of our "What I Can Do to Save Our Environment" discussion. Heather is concerned with water pollution and has made the sacrifice of doing less laundry in order to put less pollution into our water. I applaud her for her contribution to saving the environment.We also discussed womens issues, the pressures some women deal with, and ways to just let go without stressing about it so much. "Just let it go" became our catch phrase for the weekend and I think that at least a few of us walked away knowing that sometimes it's better to just let it go, rather than letting pressures build up inside until we feel like we will explode. We discussed our pets, and the importance of good nutrition when it comes to giving our pets snacks. We want them to live long, happy lives!And we all chipped in and made a charitable contribution to a young mans college fund. I was so proud to be a part of that, and seeing the look of joy on that young mans face.So yes, we did have fun, but we also had our serious moments when we learned so much about each other. That's what made the whole weekend worthwhile.P.S. Following in Heather's footsteps...My name is Debbie, and I am also full of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gloworm Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Gee, Seems I still missed some of you. I was running around asking "What forum do you post on, Candletech?" Got some weird looks-like what is candletech? I finally stopped asking cause I thought not many CT'ers were there. Did meet most of the ladies at the CT table-Kim, Slow Burn, Wonderfullywicked, Mystic Glow, Deb. Now Iam seeing posts from those I somehow missed. Jecwittm you have to be the lady who sat at our table for the last hour or so-your beautiful daughter won the embroidered bag???I think a lot of the presentations were geared to newbies-maybe about half of them. Loved the one JAnet did on balloon candles and picture candles. Enjoyed Abbie's on internet sales and your website. Loved the soap demo which unfortunately was last-can't say I learned a lot of new techniques but it was SOOO neat to watch someone else make soap. Everyone won a door prize which is so great. The goodie bags were fabulous. Soap molds, prob 5-6 FO samples in 1 oz size. Some coupons for free orders of 10.00 to 20.00 dollars. Big bag of lavender buds, candle kit for small candle, umbrella, embroidered apron, some organza bags, various small packaging items, some small sniffies of Fo (don't really know why some of the larger companies gave such tiny items sniffies, pens, coupons for small savings on large orders???). I'm sure I'm forgeting some stuff but the bag was awesome. All in All it was a great day and hope to see some more of you next year.GLo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jecwittm Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Yup GLo, that twas us! It means a lot that you noticed and remembered. I’m quite the wall flower and not very self-confident—I’m happy blending into the background. Don’t get me wrong—I love people, but get rather apprehensive in a large group. Now my daughter, on the other hand, is a real people person! (I’m convinced they switched her at birth!) She loves being around people and just thrives on it. I swear, she’d just wither away to nothing if she had to become a cloistered nun!!! In fact, all you ladies and gentlemen at the conference impressed her so much that she’s become an official member of this board! She’s SweetBean and you’ll most likely find her in the B&B and Fragrance sections. She’s quite the B&B addict—if only you could see her bathroom and bedroom! Friends have told her it looks like she has her own personal store!!! We both can’t wait till next year’s conference! I promise I won’t be late this time!!!

gloworm Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'm pretty much the wall flower myself, but I was surrounded by family so I kinda cut loose a little. My son & DIL have a way of bringing me out of my shell. If it would have been just me & hubby we would have been a couple bumps on a log.

slow-burn Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Yep that would be my angelic side showing. It seems that the ladies I was with was discussing a late night swim since we forgot our swim suits. And it was realized that I didn't have appropriate attire after all. Didn't realize so many peeps were interested in my undergarments. I will admit that we were completely baffled when we turned around and realized that a gentleman was in front of us. To our utter amazement, he stayed facing forward, and I am still not sure if he was actually following the conversation. He never made any noticable sign that he was. But it does seem that others were........ I dont' like items riding my rear end, but I sure am glad that everyone knows my underwear preference now :highfive: I think Debbies explanation was very good. We had some great laughs and shared some tears. We learned alot about each other, as well as tricks of the trade. She is quite accurate on her statements about what food best feeds our dogs, our generous donation to that young mans college fund, and did she mention our respect for law enforcement officers? Or how ladies should treat them awkward moments that we all have? We had plenty of serious topics, and the LET IT GO one was one of the best. We realized that it is much easier to let it go than to stay stressed and ruin our time together Friendship and good times was what our weekend was about, and I can honestly say that we mastered our goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bean,You sat right at our table. Your Mom was right beside my son I think. We didn't get to exchange any info when you guys arrived. I was the one with the goofy dangling soap earrings. The lady behind me won them and didn't do soap so she gave them to me. DS & DIL were embarrassed that I wore them, but that's what parents of grown children are for:p . Payback for the things you did to us when you were growing up!!!Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
