We're Back









After 5 days of playing with my sisters, I have returned to reality. We had a blast and wore ourselves out. What did we do? We were up at the crack of dawn (7:00am) and at IHOP by 8:30 for breakfast. The show floor doors opened at 9:00 and we were there with our little rolling totes. For the next 8.5 hours we walked from booth to booth investigating, studying, deciding on different papers and embellishments all for SCRAPBOOKING!
There were hundreds of booths to visit and we hit them all at least once. We did this for 4 and a half days.When the show floor was closed we went back to our hotel room and scoured each and every catalogue, marking the items we liked with our color coded post-it notes. Then we started making the decisions. We put together 12 packs of coodinating scrapbooking items making sure our prices fit into our formula.On the last day we placed all of our orders. Whew!
It was intense but the three of us make a great team. I don't think we ever stopped talking or laughing. Here are some photos.
