Oh how I’ve been wanting to tell you about this! I got to attend my first ever scrapbook supply extravaganza! I didn’t take any classes… just wanted to look at all the goodies and see what was there. 
Having only attended baseball card shows when I was a kid, I was not prepared for the beautiful site that hit me right as I walked into the room. Booths as far as the eye could see. I was shocked and giddy.
How cute is this sign? Lots of booths were doing demonstrations of their products. I don’t have a Sizzix machine, but I love all the things you can do with it.
I’d never seen this many brads in one place! They are so cute for cards.
Here’s what I brought home…
The other thing is a ScrapRack. I know I had never heard of it, but Tiffany Spaulding, shown below, is the inventor and runs the company. It’s an entire system for storing absolutely everything you own to craft with! I am in the process of sorting my stickers, stamps, and papers into categories so they can all be in one place in this system. You KNOW I’ll be telling you all about it soon. 🙂

Oh…I do understand your feelings of being “shocked and giddy”!! I am a scrapbooker and I am a collector of all things scrapbooking! My family sometimes suggests I have more in my collection than in actual albums. Noooooo!! So glad you had this exciting time, Naomi!

Thanks, Ruth. I’m glad you understand the obsession! Wait til you see how I’ve got it all organized…
Oh, what fun! I should watch for one of those to come to Minneapolis. I am sure that they do. That would be one sort of conference that I would just LOVE to attend!

How fun Naomi. There’s nothing like a grand dose of inspiration to get the creative juices flowing. Sounds like you had a delightful time.

Naomi this looks like such a fun day for you…I don’t do scrape booking but I do knit and have gone to knitting conventions and I also love all the yarn and gadgets they sell at the books. Sometimes it does the soul good just to get out there…
I’m guessing you came home with lots of good ideas running around in your head…
Your photo’s tell a lovely story about your day.

Thank you, Cheryl. It was great fun for me!
Oh, wow! That would be incredibly fun to check out!!!
How fun! I’ve been to Scrapbook Expo, but never a Creating Keepsakes Show. Inspiring, huh? Have fun with the new toys!
