TPT Vegas Family Reunion & Seller Tips!



The TPT family was SO pumped about our annual Vegas reunion! We came from all around the U.S. and even from around the world to learn from each other and make new friends! I have mentioned a few of my favorite Seller Tips near the bottom, without giving away too much! What happens in Vegas...well, you know! 


The conference was at the Venetian, which is pretty astounding on your first visit. 

The indoor "Venetian" canal!

The outside view of the hotel.

The Piazza!


A look up!!

And this totally realistic picture of when the hotel flooded... Ok I was getting a little crazy with my photo app.
***************************************
I was absolutely overwhelmed at the number of people who could fit in one conference room!! If you know me, you know that I am NOT an extrovert. So a room of 1,000 strangers was an interesting scenario for me! But, by day 3, I was feeling like I could do this more often! At least...once a year ;)

Me: so...many...females...


I was absolutely star-struck when I met Angela Watson of The Cornerstone for Teachers! She is such a down-to-earth, intelligent, business-like, Christian educator-- such an inspiration for the kind of person I would like to be.

Anddd....here are a few more moments in which I became the "selfie paparazzi" ..


Adam and Amy of TPT!


Sara of Lovin Lit!


Laine from A Little Peace of Africa -- who is so talented and will be re-doing my blog!


Who doesn't know who this is?? All your kids do... ;)


I totally waited 30 minutes and would have waited longer to go to Carlo's Bakery! I had no idea that this existed in the Venetian. My husband and I watched a ton of those episodes on Netflix. I really enjoyed the Napoleon :)
{The Napoleon is the square one.}

And finally... A few tips communicated throughout the convention. Trust me, the sellers gave way more information and specifics! Attend next year and benefit from all of their great tips. 


I didn't include another, more controversial tip that several sellers vocalized. But I'll put it here: 

~ Don't participate in "pinning parties" or "follow parties"! Sellers communicated that it is better to gain genuine followers through hard work and quality products rather than trying to do it the quick way, and inflating numbers. I would trust them! 

Other sellers reacted against the above ^ sentiments. What do YOU think?

  1. Your photos of the Venetian are wonderful! I enjoyed reading your post. Good question about pinning parties...I did one once but I don't think they are useful for my store so I'm not doing any more.

  3. Hi!
    I loved reading about your time in Vegas and I had wanted to meet Amy and Adam - glad to see you did. Next year, perhaps! I saw the line at Carlo's Bakery but did not wait for it. I didn't realize it was famous. Oops!
