Some booths begged us to take photo's of their examples:
Here is one of my favorites!
Here I am with some of the girls from my Scrapbook Group!
Kimber-who was there all weekend helping out in the classrooms. For $5 she got a free for just helping out!, She also called me up before Sunday for show special 'updates'
Teresa- She's my scrappin', coffee stop, anytime best friend! Both she and her hubby are from NY, so hence the wireless mic in her ear. She's either on the phn or texting!
Pam- That day was Pam's Birthday and she came to the expo for the 1st time with her Boyfriend Jeff, who is a total sweetheart and was nice enough to take this photo with 5 different camera's!
Yes, that Me! I'm liking orange right now. It's fun and frisky, and my craft apron with the orange tutu on the bottom got ton's of compliments!
Kathy - Has a heart of gold. So nice and genuine. She and Teresa are doing the 365 LO project. What a task! She's a talented paper crafter and always amazes us with her creations!
~ Here's some more LO inspirations. I think it's a fun way to fill in space and those journal cards really add to the page!
~ Teresa and I got there when it first opened, so it was not too busy. Nice for shopping....
Loving the colors on these LO's!
~ At lunch, Kathy was done and headed home, and we were joined by group member Dawn and her friend, Susan. Dawn works at a local Michaels craft store, (enabeling us with store specials) and Susan has a blog called Red Bess Bonney.
~ For the girls, I made them each a new Nest Pendant creation, and Dawn gave me the sparkely heart/crown treasure.

All of us with the exception of Pam, have know each other since our children were still crawling! We met through a Mom's group and have been close friends since! Having the Scrapbook group
keeps us connected as friends and occasional kids playdates even though our kiddo's are attending different schools.
Here are some of my yummy purchases....
Overlays by Heidi Swapp
Vintage inspired stickers, a Tim Holtz mask, chipboard album and Cosmo Cricket stamp set!

I thought it would be perfect for my (condensed) version of the 365 project.
I got each of these Heidi Swapp masks for $1 each!
and they work great! I've already used the alphabets and polka dots!
I recieved the Halloween one for free, and splurged a whopping $4 on the cute Owl kit!

The tape runner was free just for watching a demo at the Pioneer booth, They have this fantastic new product that replaces those annoying screw post in post bound albums. Check it out here! I'm going to order some soon!
I also picked up some crackle paints and distress stickles by Tim Holtz, and some hard to make shades of Glimmer Mist!
I found this Baby Book kit at the Rusty Pickle booth for $10!
Don't get me wrong...I Love my cricut, I do, but it can't do what the big shot can do...like cutting through felt, material, leather, chipboard, and other materials. I also can't wait to use it for embossing onto chipboard! The nice thing is, that it is compatible with most any die or emboss plate!

Looks like you had a fun and wonderful day with friends and shopping.
Okay...you didn't invite me. I loved what you picked up. Heidi masks for a dollar? Wow
I love your nest pendants:)
It sounds like the Big Shot is a good thing. I need to replace my old Sizzix because pulling down the lever kills my back. Does the Big Shot function easily??
You lucky lucky chicky! love your purchases!!!
It looks like you had a wonderful time at the Expo, and came home with lots of great goodies! I have the Sizzix Big Shot, too, and you'll really enjoy using it! I use all of my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities dies with it along with the Cuttlebug embossing folders.
Thanks for sharing your day! :)
