..... this past Friday and Saturday we had fun at CKC (that's Creating Keepsakes Convention for you non scrapbookers). We took four cool classes on Friday during the day, went to the supermarket and bought a big "birthday cookie", went to Bennigan's at the mall for dinner and then back to the hotel where all the CE'ers were staying for our cropping party. Did I mention the wild thunderstorm in the middle of it all???? Sandy and I got drenched getting back to the car from the front door at Bennigan's. And the NY girls were stuck at Bahama Breeze--- we waited at least 45 minutes in the hotel lobby. It was about 10pm when we took over the hotel's breakfast room----pushed tables together, brought in music and food; I think there was about 18 of us in all. 10 of us are going to CE; the others are part of the Staten Island Scrapping group that some of the CE'ers belong to. They were doing the finale of their secret sisters and there were all kinds of little gifts floating about!
It was so much fun to meet all of them --Kristen, Barbara, Susan, Liz, Cindy, Kim, Megan, and Mel before we all get to AZ next month! Met Leah too but she had to go home on Friday afternoon so she couldn't party with us!
As the Birthday Officers we made sure to celebrate Liz's birthday at our little party. We left about 12:15 am to drive home--fortunately it only took about 30 minutes at that time of night!

Can't say we were overly impressed; not a whole lot of newer stuff and the prices weren't any different than what you'd normally find. But we came away with two big shopping bags of stuff we know we'll never find here at home.
Lots of Rusty Pickle albums, Technique Tuesday stamp sets 
and some items we've been looking for for BPS classes. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any of the things I was looking for for my Let's Escape sister and nobody was carrying any Heidi stuff :-(

Then a full day of Sunday stuff--church, lunch at the diner, and a wedding gown fitting at my boss' house. Then spent the evening finishing my sets of pages---I went to work today for a REST!
Enjoy!!
