We were on a mission! Teem Deeva assembled early in the morning, full of energy, caffeine and raring to go! Our mission was to set up our booth and assemble the packets for Sample It! night which in all reality was just a few short hours away.

Things went smoothly and we worked way ahead of schedule which thrilled me. It left plenty of time to visit, a sneak peak in or two of what the new items will be and a nice leisurely lunch. The weather is wonderful, the convention center is gorgeous and Starbucks aplenty!

Judee, the Deeva herself is photographed while adding the finishing touches to our table. I had a few moments to get in a little early shopping and see all the new must have, can’t live without that will be showcased during Galleria.

Walking in the door, the first thing that you see is the Hugs pillow stitched by Robin King. Finishing by Elizabeth Turner Collection.

Of course this is one of my favorites! A new canvas by Maggie and notice that cat looking out the window…the frame by Jim and Lisa Krauss is just purr~fect.

This was definitely the most clever and creative table ready for Sample It! by Cheryl Schaefer Designs.

Noshes were being readied for the hungry shoppers after shopping till you drop at Sample It! The exit from shopping lead you right into the Galleria where this was set up. Of course we would be too busy with our table to partake in the festivities.

Elizabeth Turner Collection had a large selection of Needle Bling for your shopping pleasure!

Mindy and Dream House Ventures had a selection of wonderful new Mindy canvases ready to go with a perfectly matched threads in Soy Luster and Baroque Silk.

We had a very busy evening at the Deeva table and the newest hearts were quite the hit. Our evening finished off with an amazing dinner and then back to the hotel for a good nights sleep.

AlleyCat was trying to tell me that no you can’t leave me… but I am here and now it is time this morning to go to work…
