Snap Shots of Saturday

The Scrapbook Expo

WOW what a weekend!!!!! I am exhausted! We went to the Scrapbook Expo this weekend in Oak Brook. We made it a Family away weekend. We all had a blast - EVEN NORM - who is now at a crop night with 100 other women and one other male! (tee hee).

I took 8 classes and Norm took about 8 classes. The girls were split between us and had a blast as well. I must admit though - looking at them tonite they look a lil fried.

Norm had fun!!! He is now at the crop.... finishing up his projects he started at the class. He also won some free awesome give aways at his classes. It's good that he can contribute to my already overflowing scrap supplies.... lol!!!









It was good for Norm to take the classes! He got alot done and learned some great techniques to add to his Scrapbooking reprotoire (sp). He had alot of fun and many times applauded for even attending the class with the right tools. He helped some of the women next to him when they would get lost.



AND I ACTUALLY SCRAPBOOKED!!!!!! I got alot done! 6 mini albums awaiting pictures and embellishments - 3 of which are going to be gifts.

See - I was working so feverishly that Rowan could not catch me with the camera!!!!
I even did the Friday night Crop - 6P to MN. I got Rowan's mini album done - the one about the American Girl doll party.

I also finished a mini album for me. LOL!








The girls did a BUNCH of make takes and had a blast doing it. Everything from painting, gluing, stamping and doing layouts!!! There were some really cool make and takes.


This was a layout that the girls picked to do at a booth - and they already had pictures in mind - from going to the zoo. Oiy vey - Norm and I have our own stash so not to destroy someones prescious patterned paper. Now I am going to have to accomindate Natalie - if not Rowan too!



Rowan get's into it as well but loses interest quickly. She would rather be outside running and playing. Nat is the artist of the two!




OK I have to go crash now..... I am exhausted.... It's amazing how classes, and scrapping can tire you out. Tomorrow more pictures. There was a mishap with the camera.... Rowan dropped it while doing pictures and the lens is stuck. EGADS (my camera not Norms). I have no camera now. Well it takes zoom photos - but they are still a lil blurry..... I am hoping to fix it to take more pictures of my stuff!

HAPPY SCRAPBOOKING DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!
