This is our first time to Lafayette and we mainly came for CounterSketch training because we just purchased the program in March and Alisa had an opportunity to mess around a lot with webinars.  I hadn't so I really wanted to kind of get my feet wet and learn all of the components and learn how to put some great designs together and I think I accomplished that.  And I was really excited to work with freehand.  I was pretty comfortable with the other parts of CounterSketch, just kind of playing around on my own, but to kind of dive in and get more in depth I was pretty excited about, it was great.  Definitely exceeded our expectations on the trip.  

Like I said we were kind of nervous and we're like how are we gonna do like two and a half days of CounterSketch but I mean our time was very very filled and we learned a lot.  And we met jewelers from all different walks of life.  We met you know bench jewelers who have a store for over 50 years or the third generation.  We met a lot of young people, especially in the CounterSketch that were third generation and they're just joining family businesses and so they're wanting to take it to the next level.  You can send pretty much anyone from your team and they will benefit from it.  

You think you know everything that Stuller offers and you think you take full advantage of all their programs, but when you come in the building and you see everything that they do you learn about something new.
