A couple of weekends ago, I left Scotty with my parents in Willcox and my sister Jodi and I went to the Mesa Scrapbook Convention. We met up with my sister-in-law Missy there. We took a couple of classes in which we made some cute mini albums and we went to the Friday night crop (where you take your own stuff to work on and there are lots of prizes to be won. Unfortunately, none of us won any of said prizes that night.) Here's a pic of me, Jodi, and Missy at the crop. And yes, my eyes ARE closed and I look silly but I didn't realize that until I uploaded the pic. It's the only one I had of us together.
Here is the cute heart album we made. I still haven't decided what pictures to feature in this book (I still haven't decided what pictures to feature in the albums I made the past 2 years at the convention!)

And, this is the cute chipboard binder album we made using "Love, Elsie" products. It's a book dedicated to HOME. Oh, and I did win a pack of papers from the "Love, Elsie" Christmas line in this class. Lucky me!!!

We had fun and I LOVE coming away from the weekend with cute albums that somebody else designed and all I had to do was put them together..............didn't have to think too hard!! What I DIDN'T love was feeling guilty about all of the money I spent on scrapping supplies from the vendor fair. But, I have all year to try and use those products and I can hopefully go and do it all over again next year. Thanks Jodi and Missy for a fun weekend!!!

Thats is so cute! A friend made me a cute album about 2 years ago that I still haven't put any pictures in. I also have like four cute pages I've done and never put picture on either.

Love the wall hanging and the super cute books! You are so crafty! I always get sucked into the Cricut infomercials but haven't bought one yet...we rounded up all of Branson's binkys and cut the ends off of them. He kept them around for about two weeks and then was done, maybe that would work?

Yeah, we will be going to Alpine for Memorial Day weekend. Are you guys going?

I'm not sure when we will be leaving. I guess it depends on if Martin has to work Friday night. Hopefully we will know soon. And hopefully we will see you there!
