Tori Spelling Jewellery

Last night I was lucky enough to be invited to the Darice launch party for Tori Spelling Jewellery which is a customisable line of jewellery pieces that you assemble and configure as you want.Above is David from Activa Products with Tori Spelling, he was under strict instructions from his wife to get a photo of Tori.

After this event we moved across to the International Reception where I met up with lots of old friends and made lots of new ones, assisted by the free wine!

JudiKins Warehouse

I've been at the JudiKins warehouse all day today (Friday) helping out with the make & takes for store owners. Although I'm not sure how much help I was as I kept taking time out to catch up with old friends.Joyce (on the left) was teaching all the make & takes. Kat (A Stamp In The Hand) dropped in to say hi.
At the end of the day I caught the 2 Mums (Aikie - Judi's Mum & Liz - Rob's Mum) sitting down and having a good gossip about their children.

Tomorrow we go to set up the booth for the show and hopefully I can have a nose around to see some new stuff before the show opens.

Palos Verdes

I am in California for the big trade show that starts this Sunday but I am first spending a few nights with Chris & Aikie (Judi of JudiKins parents). Before we headed in to the JudiKins warehouse yesterday Chris took me on a tour of his local neighbourhood which is a peninsula called Palos Verdes.
As you can see there was glorious sunshine and these were taken at 10.30 in the morning!
In the distance is Catalina island, which is where Rob & Judi got married.

After our little jaunt around PV and San Pedro I helped Judi pack all the kits for her class on Tuesday at CHA. After that I was helping Rob change 8ft lightbulbs. Can you imagine me walking around with something that is 8ft long!
