Speaking Up about Home Staging

The IRIS Convention - My favorite part? Meeting AR friends!!!

One of the reasons that I wanted to attend the IRIS Convention in San Diego was because there would be so many SIF members!!  I would love to thank all of you for walking up and saying, "HI!" and also for those of you who took my edu-sessions.

As you can see by this point we were getting a bit worn down - it had been a long day but I'm sure you'll see more photos by the end of the week from other IRIS members who attended.

I wish that I had thought to take more photos....

It was great not only meeting Melissa, but hearing her fabulous Marketing seminar!  If only my computer didn't crash on me while away...Not to worry, I'll have a couple weeks to get things rolling before I hit the ground running.  Thanks for sharing all your wonderful information!

Melissa, what an absolute pleasure to meet you. and all the other Incredibles I have been meeting through the wires!

I missed your session so I definitely want to hear the encore  (I bought the tapes instead)  So what about it? Less than a year to put it together.  What an amazing time - and i agree  the best part was meeting all the rain makers!

You are all fabulous women.  Even better in 3 d !!!!   and the best part was feeling like I already knew a part of so many of you.

Hi Melissa

So glad I was able to meet you at the IRIS Conference.  Too bad we did not have time together, nevertheless, it was very heartwarming to meet you in person!  What a treat!!  You are a very deep and personable person and I am also excited you are a part of our new Dewey Color Instructor Team!  A Big hearty Congratulationsfor winning your award in the Photo Challenge.  Was I surprised?  Not!! So glad to be part of the group, too!  What an honor and privileged to know you!  I am slowly catching up with my emails and Active Rain these days during a very busy season!!! 

~Have a Colorful Day!
