My 1st BIG event!!!

I am soooo excited!!!!!!  I have a Velata booth at the NWA Women's Living Expo this weekend.  This is my first REAL event, so I am also a little nervous.

It's been really busy this week getting ready.  This was our den last night as we were packing.

It wasn't our best pack job as it was getting close to bedtime and little hands kept pulling stuff out of boxes.  Lol!  The important thing is that everything got to the venue.  

Joseph and I dropped everything off on our lunch break this morning and went back after work to set up.  Here is how it turned out.

I'm pretty happy with it, but 10'x10' is NOT very big when you have lots of awesomeness to show off.

I have to give a huge thank you to my hubby for wanting to do this with me, having faith in me that I can do it, and encouraging me to swing for the fences on this business.  He is my rock on this earth and keeps me sane.

I also owe a serious debt of gratitude to my parents and parents-in-love for watching the kiddos this weekend.  Without them I would be facing the crowds alone.  Ha!

Sooo, if you're looking for some food, fashion, and fun this weekend come see me.  We will be at the John Q. Hammonds convention center in Rogers in booth #46 in the food pavilion.  If you are a DWTS fan, Tony Daviolo (sp?) will be there.  Oh, and it's not just for women.  There are a bunch of booths to suit many interests.  I saw some cool metal countertops, Home Depot, heat & air people, attorneys, and of course food.

Hope to see you this weekend!!!  Gotta Velata!!
