Yes,
I know. I am not a “scrapbooker” – I’m a card maker. But they had classes on
all sorts of paper crafting things, so I was able to keep busy the entire time.
Thursday
night was a 12x12 Layout Workshop from 6:30 to 8:30 pm which I basically took
just to get a feel for the place so that I’d know what I was doing the next two
days.
Friday
was my busiest day with 7 classes (1. All About Cards, 2. Newest & Coolest
in the Scrapbooking World, 3. Designer Cards Featuring Simple Stories, 4. Pop-it-up
Pivot Cards, 5. Shake It Up Shaker Box Cards, 6. Celebration Wine Tags, and 7. Trendy
Card Creations) leaving no time to shop the vendor faire or even lunch break.
Saturday
was an easier day for me, since I only had 4 classes (1. A Full House - Cards
for Every Occasion, Trunk Show, Sun Kissed Fleur Cards, and Cards Full of
Sunshine). I had plenty of time to eat lunch and go shopping and even rest for
a bit; sadly a necessary thing by that time, since I was really not feeling
good at all.
The
hosts of the convention had drawings each hour for various door prizes. I got a
ticket for each class I took plus one for each day that I was there: in total I
ended up with about 20 tickets. Out of the thousands (only a slight
exaggeration, there) of people who attended = my name actually got drawn not
once but TWICE!
Woo-Hoo!
I ended up getting a free stamp set from Heartfelt Creations (worth $18.00) and
$20.00 worth of free paper from Keller’s Creations.
In
addition to the door prizes, each class had their own give-aways & drawings
– so I ended up coming home with way, WAY more stuff than I arrived with. In
fact, if I were to add it all up, I bet I ended up “winning” crafting supplies worth
more than what I paid to attend the conference!
Plus 54 cards!!!
Am I
going again next year?
Hell,
yeah!
