I went to the Scrapbook Expo yesterday in Duluth GA. with my friend Kim. Many of you know Kim from the crops she is the person who checks everyone in and because we are BFF she pretty much does everything else too. We met Diane there too my other right hand person at the crops!! The expo was very busy for a Friday usually Saturday is the busiest day but there were lots of scrappers all busy with make and take its and purchasing some fun supplies.
With the economy and the fact it is taking a big bite out of all of our scrap budgets I was surprised to see all the scrappers in the checkout lines. I am sure everyone is like me and save to go these events to purchase those special nuggets of creativity. I have been known to spend without thinking which is why my scrap room looks like a store but this year I am having to put a handle on my scrap addiction and try to be a bit more selective to stay in my budget.
Some of the vendors did have specials and I did see more $1 packs of embellishments and smaller packages to accommodate smaller budgets. As far a new things there were not many new items on the market and I didn't see to many items that I didn't already have in my collection. Mostly the new items were page kits and things like glitter mist and adhesive applicators and some cute storage totes.
I didn't take any classes this time or go to the crops so if anyone can post about those things please do. We would love to hear about that.
We are adding some of the ideas we saw at the show for the make and take opportunities at the crop in August. Be sure to register by the 15th of July to save $5 off the Fiesta Crop.
Well that is all for now please comment if you went to the expo and let us know what you liked or share some of the classes or fun make and take projects.
Happy Scrapping !! Brenda
