Swapping with the GoDiva's Stamping Group

The day began at the Convention Center to pick up the Convention T-shirt and to do some swapping. Don't you think it is a great way to start the day?

Early afternoon brought swapping with the GoDiva's Stamping Group.  I am so honored to be a part of this unique group of talented stampers headed by my friend, Robin Merriman.
