Swap in your PJ's at Convention

I love traditions don't you?  One tradition for Laura and I is to host a "Swap in your PJ's" at the Hilton. We stay at the Hilton Salt Lake City Hotel every year, so we take over the 2nd floor lobby for a couple hours on the night before convention officially starts.

This year our "Swap in your PJ's" was held on Wednesday night, July 22nd.  We had 35 swappers participate.  Upon arriving and checking in, each swapper was given a tote bag with name tag, and up to 3 tickets for a chance to win the door prize, (a ticket for signing up online, a ticket for wearing pj's, a ticket for being on time for the swap). We also had a favorite card contest, and most creative pj's contest. I didn't get a picture of the other two prizes we gave away, too much fun happening I suppose.

Paper Tote Bags (non SU!) with Name Tags (created by Barbara Welch) for each swapper.

Altered Convention Journal created by Barbara Welch for the Door Prize winning ticket.

Favor for each swapper, designed and made by Laura Fernsler. We gave this as our gift to everyone for swapping with us in this fun swap.

 

 

 

 

Thank so much for stopping by.  Check back tomorrow for a look at all the swap cards from the "Swap in your PJ's".  Thank you to everyone that participated.
