HAPPY EASTER!
Last week while attending the "Country Living Women's Entrepreneurs Seminar" in honor of Joyce Lucas, Owner of Make Mine Pink ~ I had the privilege of meeting over 20 of the wonderful ladies I've come to know as my "Pink Sisters" on the MMP Forum during the past two years.
We had been planning to meet at the Chicago event since January and when it came on Saturday, March 15th we could hardly contain ourselves. Meeting, laughing, trading stories, and pitching products was only a small part of the celebration.
Here are a few photos of the ladies, the tiaras and the amazing swap basket I won from Christine at Extra Sprinkles. She had the famous "Grahams" Chocolates of Chicago make this BEAUTIFUL PINK chocolate basket specially made for the swap.
Joyce sponsored a tiara contest in which the "Most Outrageous Tiara" won a 14k Diamond Crown Ring from "Ross Jewelers". It was 2DIE4! And we also had a "Pamper Me Pink" Swap where everyone brought a pink present, then we did a sort of Secret Santa type swap. It was crazy fun.
"Most Outrageous Tiara"
From left to right: Christine~Extra Sprinkles, Michelle~Rose Petals & Blooms, Francie~The Scented Cottage and Me.
The winner was Michelle from "Rose Petals and Blooms". Michelle and the ring are both beautiful. As was each and every MMP lady at the event. Kind, sweet, caring, warm-hearted are only a few of the words that describe the personalities of these talented women. It was an honor to meet them all in person, finally.
This was my Tiara/Crown
Cathy what a fun time you girls had.
