I got back from the best CKC scrapbook convention ever Saturday night. The rest of the weekend was super busy too....
Sunday we took the boys to the Garden Railroad Train Tour and came home to have my computer crash on me, Mike had to take it to Best Buy to get it fixed for me.
I had Monday off of work, so after Nicholas got out school we went to see the Easter Bunny (Jackson would not go near him)
We dyed Easter Eggs in the afternoon...
It was a great long weekend, that ended with Nicholas waking up in the middle of the night Monday with the stomach flu, and me feeling sick too. But all in all it was a great weekend, and I think Nicholas was already feeling better this evening.
Here's a quick recap of the convention. I will have a full review of my classes after I finish up my projects in the next couple of weeks.
This year's convention was....
Having 2 fun filled days with 2 fabulous friends (and another in spirit, who was home with her sick baby)....
Taking 8 awesome classes with 5 fabulous teachers, making 16 fun layouts, a mini book and 2 cards that I love....
Meeting 3 superstar Studio Calico girls (Lorie, Nicole H and Kelly Purkey)....
Receiving a few great giveaways....
Shopping....lots and lots of shopping....
Here is a recap of my shopping finds
Just when I thought I had all the Studio Calico goodness I could ever need....(okay I didn't really think that)....I of course did some stocking up at the SC booth.
A great deal found on a Slice cartridge, an awesome Fancy Pants book for altering, the one Distress Ink color I did not own....
Some new Basic Grey. A cute Easter altered project
And some Glitz Design goodies those brown woodgrain mini letters that I had been coveting, circle stamps I was drooling over, and my favorite Glitz line ever....
I have been going to the CKC Mesa show for years, and this was definitely the best all around show. The vendor fair was awesome, there was a good selection of shopping and a much improved selection of newer products. The classes we took had awesome teachers and great layouts that we loved.
Cute idea
