Dear Barb,
I have worked in many different creative fields, becoming an ASP has taken my career soaring to a higher level. Attending this fantastic, educational convention has lead me down the yellow brick road straight to the Emerald City. Thank-you Barb, Staged Homes.com, Pros, ASPM's and ASP's. See everyone next year!
Fondly,

Hi Barb,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the fabulous convention. I enjoyed each and every moment that I was able to attend and appreciated the opportunity to meet so many fellow stagers from across the country. Not only did I learn much valuable information, but you continue to inspire and motivate me and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and your fantastic staff for all of your efforts.

Dear Barb,
You definitely outshine the rest when it comes to acting, speaking, motivating, and well... Everything!! The convention was over-the-top, beyond my expectations! (Huge kudos for all the staff and volunteers as well.) Meeting the Pros, watching and learning from the motivating speakers, people who are actually very successfully working in the industry. I also love how your family works together fully as part of your team.
Mostly thank you for being so genuine, sincere, real, and for sharing your visions and how we may achieve our dreams. I really feel like part of your family --Mama Stager! You are truly a special Angel... enriching, inspiring, and loving to all.
I look forward to the next convention and to further exploring the wonderful world of Stagedhomes.com for continued support and for the exemplary resources contained within. For now, I just open my heart and there you are proud of me and knowing that I too can be successful!
Sincerely,

Dear ASP's and ASPM's,
During my professional career I have attended many conferences and conventions but have not had the pleasure of meeting so many like thinking dynamic and creative individuals as I did in Seattle. It was pure joy meeting everyone, sharing regional successes and learning about new ways to promote our services - as well as learning about new services we can promote! The ASPMs' were open, honest and completely inspirational. I am filled with a new motivation that will keep me focused and driven for another year. I will see you all next year …..I wish continued success to all of you.

Thank you for your acknowledgement. I will ride this cart until the wheels fall off. I have provided this service to my fiends for 30 years.....always wondered why it didn't have a name, and you gave it one. I salute ;you and became a subscriber. Thank You. You, gave my dream a name and a purpose. I have a very interesting story and you provided the stride for me that I always knew had a purpose........I beautify Arizona one house at a time. I guess you taught me how to "rock". Thank you
Fondly,
Tracie Martin, ASP, IAHSP
Hi Barb,

Thank you Barb,
I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the conference. Of course it was great to see you. I always feel so inspired after talking with you or hearing you speak. I also learned a lot and have already put some of the ideas into action.
Meeting other ASP and ASPMs around the country was really a learning experience.
Warmest wishes and love to you,

Dearest Barb:
I cannot imagine any stager who would not attend the IAHSP convention every year as a part of their continuing education. You and your staff so very carefully select the Meet the Pros topics critical to success, as well as featured speakers, vendors who offer services supporting us and, most of all, the opportunity to bond with our peers.
After almost two years as an ASP and over a year as an ASPM, I know you are constantly improving our web site and work on our behalf every day. The monumental task of organizing a convention is much appreciated.
Thanks again for another wonderful experience - see you in 2009!!

Hi Barb,
I can't thank you enough for providing the continuing education for all of us ASP's & ASPM's. Justine & I had a great time and learned so much from this experience. I can't wait to share this knowledge with the members of the Citrus Valley IAHSP Chapter who were not able to go & express to them the importance of trying to attend next year! We enjoyed everything, from watching the Wizard of Oz opening, to all of the informative content. The food was fabulous, but most importantly we enjoyed meeting with the other ASP's from around the map! I am attaching pictures from Masquerade, hope you enjoy them!
Thank you again for everything, we are ready to go full speed ahead with our staging business and implement some of the new ideas we learned at convention. Knowing that we have the support of such a great organization as stagedhomes.com we know we can accomplish anything!
Continued success,
Michelle Pimentel, ASP, IAHSP

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for hosting such a wonderful convention, and reigniting the fire is so many.
Thanks

Dear Sweet Barb,
Tom and I enjoyed our time with you and our Stagedhomes family thoroughly!
I know how much effort you put into this event each year and your passion to help us ALL succeed comes through clearly.

This was my first ASP convention and I loved the fact that it was so upbeat and so well organized. Everyone worked their magic spending countless hours behind the scenes and when it all came together, Wow!
Janice Denney, ASP
Hi Barb,
Thank you so very much for an incredible convention! Just got home and my head is swimming with all the ideas that were shared. I know you and your team put a lot of work into making the convention an unforgettable one and you succeeded!
It was a pleasure to talk to you in person and I look forward to seeing you at the Master's Course in Seattle in October!
Sincerely,
Barbara Katnich, ASP
Dearest Staging Goddess,
Thank you so much for your many kindnesses this past week. You were patient with the costuming, whatever your schedule and infinitely supportive.
You are a joy to work with. And your example inspired the rest. I have not often worked with such a cooperative group of "actors".
I'm sorry I wasn't able to be with you for the finish of the convention. I have heard great reports from the Seattle chapter.
All I know is that my head is now completely stuffed with new ideas and unthought-of possibilities, all thanks to you.
Much love,
Ede Bookstein, ASPM
I appreciate all that you do and the knowledge! Going to convention was the best thing ever because I now have a network of sisters to turn to for guidance and advice.
Hugs!
Monica Vera, ASP
Barb,
What a wonderful convention we had. I thought last year in Chicago was good but this was even better. I really liked the fast pace without long breaks and I also like having a full day of learning on Saturday with the auction during the Ball. As last year I learned so much and admire you for all you do to teach, train and provide us with ideas for running our business. I gain so much knowledge from you and the other ASP's and ASPM's.
Thank you for all you do and especially for who you are.
Love and best regards,
Gloria Rollins, ASP, IAHSP
President of the GREAT San Antonio IAHSP Chapter

Barb,
Thank you for the wonderful convention. It was so wonderful to see so many ASP's and ASPM's together, so excited and having so much fun. I can't believe that this was my third convention. Seeing the ASPM's I graduated with in 2006; getting to know more people I have seen over the years and spending quality time with them was priceless. Thank you and your wonderful husband and staff. . God bless and see you soon. Thank you......
Melanie J. Warren, ASPM, IAHSP
Dear Barb –
I just wanted to tell you what tremendous value I got out of the entire experience, and how glad I was to have participated fully from the Leadership Luncheon on Tuesday all the way through to the Masquerade Ball on Saturday night. I heard several people say they thought it was the best Convention ever – and I can see why.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to meet other ASPs, to learn from the Pros (Wow! That was truly invaluable), and to also act as a resource for newer ASPs wanting to learn more. It was a great 360 win-win-win. I was also pleased to record two video testimonials: one for the Convention and one on the benefits of becoming an ASP. I can’t wait to see what you do with those.
It was an excellent, exhilarating and educational experience – and frankly I couldn’t have asked for better.
Thank you again for your vision, education and BELIEF. It motivates me more than you know.
All the best and a HUGE thank-you to you and your tireless team,
Patty Bonnell, ASP
Board Member, Seattle Chapter
