ASD Show, Glass Show and just plain fun!

Last Wednesday my sister Dennie from Portland and my cousin Sharon from Spokane Washington arrived in Las Vegas just in time to take in the ASD gift and jewelry show at the convention center and the Glass Expo at the Southpoint Hotel. The ASD show was so packed that all the parking lots at the convention center were full so we ended up parking at the Venetian and taking the shuttle to the show which worked out great since we had already decided to have dinner there at the end of the day.This show is really really big and the last day is pretty much cash and carry and you can get some pretty great deals. 
Thursday we decided to hang out in the studio during the day and work on some projects since we were going out that evening. We invited 1/2 of the original posse to join up with us at the Golden Nugget for the Country Superstar show but sadly they declined. We ended up eating dinner at the Italian restaurant The Grotto and then headed up to the show room. This was the second time I have seen this show and it was just as good this time as it was the first time I saw it in Feb.
Friday morning we are off to the Southpoint to spend the day at the Glass Expo. I think it was the first time I have gone to that show just to shop, I normally work at the Art Clay World Booth. We all  were able to find some goodies to take home to incorporate into some future projects.
Sharon had a flight out Saturday morning and I had a private class to teach that day, so we said our goodbyes and I don't think Sharon was too excited to get back to the cold weather.
After all the running around the last few days Dennie and I decided to have a "La-Dee-DahDay" relax and have breakfast with Jackie to catch up on whats been going on with her.
Isn't it strange how fast days pass when you are having so much fun?
