Two weeks ago a little event called Creating Keepsakes Convention came rolling into town. I have never been to an event like this, and I wanted to make the most of it. Some may say I went a little overboard, but I think that is a matter of perspective. You be the judge.
I...
took a few classes to create cards and minibooks (the Piggy Tales mini book class was definitely a favorite)

I shopped (and only went slightly over my budget)

I spent the evening scrapping with someone who is quickly becoming my favorite scrappy friend-my sister in law Ann Marie. This is her watching people sing to win a new Cricut:

My brother Dave and his wife Beth are having a baby!!! I am so happy for them, they will be fantastic parents!
