Just off the FR convention, I'm still a little sleepy and disorganized. I had THE most wonderful time and it was great seeing friends from this board live and in person. I know I didn't get to talk to as many folks as I would have liked and I also know that I'm terrible with names and sometimes faces, so I apologize if I didn't recognize you or remember who you are. Besides, without screen IDs on the name tags, half the time I was lost. The masquerade party was a great opportunity for me to say, "hey, I can't tell who you are!" What a great cover.

Anyhow, this week is an open forum week, so share the goodies you picked up at convention even if they aren't diorama related. We'd all love to see what great finds were to be had. Also, if you didn't go to convention, post your usual questions, photos or tips! It's great to share.

Getting back to the the convention, it was nice having the Doll Divas table there and seeing lots of friends! I want to congratulate Karen Kolkman on her breathtaking, double award-winning diorama. Her high-end FR apartment will be making an appearance in a future Diorama Discussion for all who are curious to know the juicy details behind its creation. I also will share a few details of my diorama (photo studio) and hope that the creator of the third diorama (whose name I am yet to discover) will also share some pics and tips. If anyone knows the creator of the sewing room diorama, please tell us!

Congrats to ALL the winners in all of the categories. Your time and trouble was appreciated by all of the attendees so we could enjoy a little eye candy. Alright, I hope you'll post here today and make our open forum a fun place to visit.

Til next time,
