Well, I won't tell, but I heard a great time was had by all.  I'm jealous, too!

It could be Clive from Designed to Sell - he always has his shirt untucked:)

I voted for Craig as well.  When I see his photo, this is exactly what I imagine him looking from the top down....

Now what I want to know is what everyone was doing in Philly and what do we need to do to everyone to say San Fran or San Diego??? It was 70 degrees in San Diego yesterday

Actually I met Doug in a bar in Philly and he gave me his card to call him sometime...

Craig was visiting friends in Jersey so I convinced him to visit me for a night.

Val and Phyllis (bless them they drove three hours) are kind of close by so we met for lunch too.

It was so much fun to share ideas (and wine and dessert) and meet in person.

I would love to come to San Diego! If only I could find a sitter!

Take a look at the "beautiful" home I showed them- I will post after pics soon.

LOL.... Kate, I'm willing to bet you that mural behind you has been done in 'one stroke style' (A painting technique taught by guru Donna Dewberry).  I actually am a 'certified trainer' or rather was years ago in this technique.  How funny... it is cute for individuals, but not everyone.

Yes it certainly is "individual" ..... if the buyer has a daughter named Hannah then all is well but the seller will not paint over it so we are pretending this room does not exist and staging around it big lips and all....

KATE!!!! YOU OUTED ME! LOL

You just can't let a week go by in Stage It Forward without starting trouble! ;)

Shell... who the hell is DOUG?

Lori... they confiscated my raffia at the airport... I felt so naked!

It was really wonderful to meet up... Val, Phyllis and Kate were 3 of the 4 first stagers I can remember meeting on Active Rain less than a year ago. When we got together it was YAP YAP YAP... old friends meeting for the first time.

THANKS it really was FUN lunching at the Country Club.

I finally blogged about us on that great day. I did not realize you posted this until now. I was cracking up because Craig does look a bit like Doug from Trading Spaces. I think I titled Craig's picture...Craig revealed or something like that, this is too funny...

Yes we should take up Sheron's invite to San Diego next but I must conquer my "new phobia" of flying, It was great spending the day together. Look forward to more good times.
