I am in Vegas with the Prez. Why did we come?
On my way in this AM!
I signed up a few months ago for the Teachers Pay Teachers first annual sellers’ conference! Today hasn’t disappointed!
I met THE #DeannaJump
Keynote Photos
I went to four conferences. I took many notes, laughed, nodded, agreed, and came away with mental notes of top priorities for my store. Most importantly, I solidified my belief that the sellers of TpT from top seller Deanna Jump down to “little fish” like me are all in this together, and we are helping teachers and their students to learn and grow and reach higher than they imagined!

I met so many people! I wasn’t afraid to ask for pics, but I missed a few. I wish I could have met even more people. The day was jam-packed from the keynote this morning to four different sessions over the course of the day, and ending with a Happy Hour that lasted much longer! The energy has been exhilarating and the pep talk I needed to forge ahead.
Me with Amy, Community Queen of TpT! She recognized me by my logo too! “Oh, it’s you! Page Protector!”
Me and Naomi of Read Like a Rock Star! So sweet!
Last but not least, the Prez and I with Paul Edelman himself!
The Prez is admittedly starstruck with Paul. The Prez admires the rarity of Paul’s success as a fellow business owner. Truly the growth of TpT is astounding! Humbled to be a part!
I’m linking with Deidre at A Burst of First! Lots of linky love over at her post with many more photos from #TpTVegas2014!
Leslie, I am so glad you could get away with your hubby and be built up and encouraged all at the same time in what you do!!!
Looking forward to your new VISIONS for your store!!!
You are a huge encouragement to us:)
I hope you had a great time! It looks like you got to meet a lot of people. Hopefully I can make it out next year. What was your favorite conference session? Thanks for sharing so many photos!
My favorite was probably Rachel’s on marketing, but all of them were so helpful. I also attended Deanna and Dee Dee’s session, Lindsay’s session, and Laura’s session. All were excellent!
It’s so fun to see your pictures from the conference- thanks for sharing! 🙂
Hi Diana, It was so fun! I hope to go back next year! It was kind of overwhelming to take it all in, but I’m so glad I was able to go! I have some more photos I hope to share, but I didn’t take as many as I thought I did. I was so busy taking notes in the sessions I didn’t really get any photos in those. They were great! 🙂 Leslie
I’m impressed you could post to your blog that quickly! I didn’t wrap my head around everything until today. Are you wearing the TPT tattoo in your profile pic?

Hi Mercedes, Yes I am wearing the tattoo! I didn’t think of that when I updated my pic, but I like that it is there! 😀 As for posting, I have issues sleeping in strange–though the Venetian was dreamy–places, and Vegas was a two-hour time difference for us. I took some zzquil after I posted and it was dreamland then! 😀
It looks like you had a lot of fun! You got a lot of great pictures! I love that you have the TpT tattoo on your arm in your bio pic.. way to represent! 🙂
I know, right? I honestly didn’t think of the tattoo when I changed my profile pic. I just knew I needed a more recent pic and it is rare I have a pic of ME. I tend to be behind the camera but the Prez took this one while we were in Vegas. Tattoo and all! That thing is STILL on my arm. To be honest, I’d love a real one, though I don’t think I’m ready to put TpT on me permanently … yet. Now if I make a million, I think I might! 😉
