--Previous Message-- : nm : : --Previous Message-- : My mom and I started attending back in 2007 : in : Dallas. We thought we would only go once but : it was a wonderful experience and we haven't : stopped yet. : : I am always encouraging collectors to go at : least once. It is amazing to be around : hundreds of collectors. There is so much to : do and I have made so many great friends. : This year my first table host is coming back : to convention and I get to host her this : time around. : : I love being a host and making everyone feel : welcome. I have been hosting since 2010. : Many of the first timers are now regular : attendees and I love seeing them each year. : The young girl at my table in 2010 just had : her first child so it is fun to see the : changes in people's lives. : : My club started hosting the Southern Event : back in 2011. It gives people a chance to : sit down for a meal together and make new : friends. We have tons of door prizes too. At : the convention meal events, it is pretty : noisy so it can be really hard to talk to : others. This event is a chance to just relax : and talk with other Barbie fans. : : I love seeing the competition entries. There : are so many talented attendees. I also : really enjoy the fashion show. Room sales is : a favorite activity each year and I am : always buying more than I thought but I find : a way to get it home. I also like the : workshops and learning how to make new items : and restore dolls and clothing. : : I was lucky and my theme was selected for : the 2018 convention in Phoenix. I am really : excited to have been given the opportunity : to design events and contribute my ideas. It : is going to be all about fashion which to me : is what is great about Barbie. We will have : events that focus on different decades so no : collector is left behind. : : I hope many of you can come in 2018 and join : us for convention and sign up for the : Southern Event too. : : :
