This past weekend I was able to get away for a little while to have some fun with my sister and sister-in-law. Friday, Jodi and I met in Green Valley and drove to Mesa for the Scrapbook Convention. We went to the vendor fair and spent $$$$$. We got to enjoy dinner and then we were off to the crop. That's where you take stuff to work on and sit in a big room scrappin' while everyone else is doing the same. They give everyone free products and there are tons of prizes to win through drawings. I should have had someone take a picture of Jodi and I while we were there but I didn't. Jodi ended up getting sick (we think food poisoning) so we left early and went to our hotel. Our sister-in-law Laura met us at the hotel. We all woke up the next morning and went to the convention and took some classes.
Jodi and I took this great class and made this "Good Things" acrylic album. It was so much fun to do. The teacher of this class makes amazing album kits and was selling them at a booth in the vendor fair (more of our $$$$ went to her than anywhere!)
Next we met back up with Laura to take a class called "A Peek Into My Week." We got a surprise when our teacher was..........................
Elizabeth Kartchner
Sort of a celebrity in the scrapbook community
We made this fun album which showcases a week in the life of yourself or whoever you want to make the book for. So much fun!
Here are the three lucky ladies who got to attend this awesome scrapbook nerd event!
Thanks for the fun times girls! I'm looking forward to more good scrapbooking times in the years to come.
And Suzi, we missed you..............................a lot!

What an awesome time, I need a get away like so bad, you lucky girl. And how awesome to have your celebrity teacher there. I've been to her webpage a few times and she rocks, i am sure you guys were stoked the whole time.
Okay, so now I'm REALLY jealous! I'm glad you guys had a lot of fun! I'm glad you missed me...kidding. One day we'll all be together again. :)
I was going to go to convention and take those two classes myself, but changed my mind and just went to the vendor faire for a half hour at the last minute. Sounds great from what you've said so far! There's another one in Glendale in September, are you guys thinking of going to that one too? From what you've said on those classes if they have them there I may have to go just to take them!
Thanks for such an awesome time Raysha. It was a blast, even with the yuckiness.
Did you get your albums finished?
