The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Signed up a couple of days ago....registration is moving quickly. It is SO EASY this year. The agenda is already looking great too! 3 days of learning and Very close to Mall of America!I think it is limited to 150 people this year. If you are thinking of going, you might want to get signed up quickly! Very reasonable, and from what I heard about last year....excellent!

Deliciously Wicked Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I am considering signing up as well.

kdmorgan Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 The last update was 88 people already signed up. They can only accommodate 150 so it will probably fill up fast!!! This will be my first convention ever and I can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrystalClear Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I finally get to go to a convention!! We're all registered, hotel booked, all set! I'll be attending the convention, while my husband, daughter, and my mom go shopping at the Mall of America. Wait...is that fair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris77 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I Just signed up...100 spots as of yesterday. Guess I might be 101. As fun as it would be staying at the hotel with everyone, I get to save some cash as I'm about 40 minutes from the event. Can't wait!!!

ShellyT Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm all signed up as well. I will be going with a friend (meeting her there). I am holding a crafter's convention in May and then this convention one month later. WOW it's going to be a BUSY and FUN time!! Can't wait!Who all is going in on Friday???Shelly T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmsojka Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 All signed up. I am going with my daughter instead of hubby this year. It was really a good time, I was impressed. Tons of information, learned some stuff and got some really good deals. Last year we had to bust our buns to get back for a graduation, not this year. We are coming in Friday, staying until Monday. Hoping to finally get to go shopping. (Not my hubby's kind of thing, so no fun with him). I have stayed near that mall four times in the last year, and not stepped inside the doors. We are excited, a nice vacation with the two of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayshapooh Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I missed last years but I am all signed up this year, hotel reserved and dragging my reluctant hubby along so he can drive me up there LOL. I've been searching for things for him and our 6 yr old daughter to do while I am attending the convention...he doesnt want to go to the MOA but I think there are some cool things at MOA he can take our daughter to. He is wanting to take the boat up there and fish...Is there anyone here that lives around that area that can tell me where the closest lake is that he can launch a boat at?

chris77 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 we're all going to have to wear matching shirts or something so we can group together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvcandlecrazy Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Doneen has Bitter Creek Shirts for sale as well as Candle Cauldron, I got one last year, I wear mine all the time, it is a great advertising tool, everytime I wear it somewere, someone will stop me and ask if I sell candles, then I just hand them a business card. I had a blast at the convention last year and this year looks to top that one by a mile, I can't wait. I cannot believe how fast it is filling up, she told me it is well over 100 now.Sue Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoflauge Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm excited to be going-my very first candle "convention" of any kind. I'm hoping to learn a lot of new things and meet some of these wonderful people i've met on the BC board and those of you on this board that may be going. I'm taking my parents along-they are going to use it like a "vacation" so i don't have to worry about the hubby and shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
