Wednesday @ our LSS

the QK rep came to visit. So a bunch of Diamond Club members showed up to hear his news on the upcoming products and talk QK. And of course there is always the chance to WIN FREE PRODUCT TOO! So we gathered around the tables and listened. Listened to Kris talking about the details of why they did this, or didn't do that, and what we should expect in future. Some things were scrapped because QK listened to their customers and took their ideas into consideration BEFORE they released their latest products. WOW imagine that. A manufacturer who actually cares about their customers. Certainly a different concept in this world today!!! Hmmm sorry I digress.



Then we listened to the women who had questions while others bitched about some of the products. Yes, they bitched. When I walked in late, there was one woman who was actually bitching because the QK reps didn't give the stores advance notice of reductions in prices. Poor Kris stood there listening attentively while trying to explain that it was HIS fault because he is only one one rep to 600 stores and he let his stores down. Most normal self respecting, nice people would have stopped at that point. But noooooo not her. She just kept on going belting out complaint after complaint. It was actually embarrassing at this point. Finally she just stopped. Bitch session complete! I went up to the LSS owners later and told them I thought this was supposed to be a fun event not a bitching session. You would have thought I'd committed a mortal sin with the looks I got. Oh well. Call it like it is you know.



So on to the give aways. They gave out some of the newer 4x8 alphabets - very cool. The first one was one by the one person who ALWAYS wins and they says she shouldn't be considered in the pot. Well then why did you put your name in there???? The second one was won by another one who usually wins but with enthusiasm and enjoys what she wins. Then another, and another, and all smiles. No we didn't win YET!!! So more make-n-takes, more show us what's coming, and just answer more questions. Very nice time actually. Then it was time for more give aways. So let's call some more numbers .... 3527044, "oh that's mine but I don't want that die. I don't like it " says the winner. "But it's free" says the store owner. "I know but I don't want it. Oh well at least I'll have a Christmas present to give someone." She took the die gave it to another lady standing there that DID want it and then talked about it for another 10 minutes. Can you imagine!!! Next 3527061 "oh that's me...." I said. So I went up and got my die expecting to hand it over to Rosemary because I already had one but wasn't about to say anything out loud (except to Ro). Then 352051 and there goes my chance of giving it to Ro as she won TOO!!!! So we both have the very cool gold heart tag dies in our possession now. Hey Jana, do you have one -- cuz if you don't it may just show up in your Christmas stocking!!!!



Jana - you know the first person that won. And for the record she wanted to know why I was awol from many activities this summer. I laid it on very thick (even though it really wasn't lying just spreading it out thick and shutting her up because I was just plain baffling!!!). That too was actually FUN!!! Oh I'm not getting my place in heaven. I've lost out! OMG!!!



After the QK festivities then Rosemary and I went to have a nice dinner at our local pizza place. It was a GREAT evening especially after leaving the LSS. I always enjoy being with my buddy RO!!!



GTG! Will write more ltr!

I was there - Karen is absolutely correct. There are some serious party pooper types out there! Sheesh, it is a fun little craft, people.

I wish I could have been there with you. We could have taken that ungrateful B out back and beat the quickutz out of her. I am so happy you two won. I couldn't make it when my LSS had Kris. :( Such is life. That pizza sounds good.
