Well today I am at the SU regional in TN, hopefully learning all new techniques and getting all pumped up with the rest of the Demos that will be there.  My daughters, Amy & Maureen will be there with me (they are both demos) and we are going to have a blast!  I sure hope Shelly is there so we can all get our picture taken with her.  Amy and I had our picture taken with her at the regional in Charleston a few years back, and Mo and I with Shelly at the Charlotte one last year.  I am hoping we can all have our picture with her together at this one.  Shelly is so Awesome and so down to earth, you would never guess that she is the owner of this company.

Needed to slip in another Halloween card for you.  I am hoping to get lots of swaps at Regional to share with y’all!
