Upon entering the convention hall, you will find a plethora of consultants from all backgrounds excitingly buzzing around connecting with old friends while making new friends along the way. It’s definitely one of my very favorite events each year.

CTMH Corporate out did themselves with so many wonderful new product reveals along with the darling skits they came up with to share them with us all. I can’t even begin to imagine how much fun it must be to work at the corporate office!

In The Gathering Bunch skit, CTMH shared that in the very near future, you will be able to host online gatherings & you will earn more rewards for being a hostess! How stinkin’ cool is that!

Then the perky Kristine Widtfeldt came out and did an info commercial and unveiled our new Summer Color Palette! We have 8 fresh new colors of ink & cardstock! Wowzers!

Last but not least, some of the ladies at corporate performed a dance to Single Ladies by Beyonce, but it was all the Scrappin’ Ladies. There were a lot of great moves up on that stage! ;O) Go Corp!
