It was at the Mall of America and it was wild! We left home at 3a.m. Friday morning to get there right before they opened. We did not take any classes just went around to all the booths and did make and takes. Got to chat with scrappers from all over the states. The event was hosted by Archivers and of course, I got the exclusives when they opened, and best of all, they did not limit how many you could buy. We did make and takes until the booths closed up at 5. Checked into our hotel and then went to a scrap store near MOA where Spencer from QK was doing a make and take. While we were there he did a special bogo sale on all QK dies. I came home with so many goodies!!
Finally went to dinner at 8:30 and then back to hotel. Our feet were killing us from all that walking and standing! Stuck them in the sauna for a while and then we finally got to bed!
Today we got up and went back and did some more make and takes(shopped again at A's), did some other shopping and headed home in the afternoon. On the way home we stopped in an outlet mall and found...you guessed it.. another scrapbook store!! More goodies....
So, now I am home exhausted, but had so much fun with the gals I went with and so very pleased with all my new found stash!

Oh my goodness! It sounds like you went to scrapbookers heaven!!

I'm so jealous, not only did you go to the # 1 mall, I've been dying to go to, but you also shopped at an A's & scrapped! Then a QK BOGO sale!!! You must have been beside herself!

That's is awesome! Glad to hear you had loads of fun!!

[peppermac]

Oh, I am, it was so very exciting! Now, I hope I can make some of you happy with some of the extra dies I picked up . I know what it is like not living near an A's, so that is why I picked up extra to share the joy!!

Wow! What a blast. And no limits on dies - I hear EBAY for those poor souls like me that do not have an A's by them. Thank God for Bernadette's willingness to help us.

I have never had the opportunity for something like this. What do you actually do at a Make and Take?

[peppermac]

Each booth is a vendor from a scrapbook company. Such as the BoBunny booth. They had us make a small album. They supply the materials and everything you need and usually it is a designer from their company who is there to teach it to you. The Quickutz booth had Spencer. I did not get the chance to go to that one. I think my bag with all my projects was left in my friends car, so when I get it back, I will try and post pictures of the ones I did.

Hi Phyllis, I'm glad you had a lot of fun! I know this has been a tough year for you and it's great that you were able to get away and enjoy yourself.

I went to MOA about 8 years ago! I wished I had changed my mind to go, Alaska airlines had some great last minute fares to MN/St. Paul.

Maybe I'll be able to go next year!

Can't wait to see your make and takes!

[peppermac]

A couple of days before we left I had decided not to go due to everything going on at home and work, but my husband encouraged me to go as he knew it was a fun thing for me. I am glad he talked me into it! Who knows maybe I will see you there next year! ;D

[spenzalot]

Sounds like fun. Maybe one day I will try to go!

[krissynae]

Sounds like you had an amazing time. Your hubby is a great man for encouraging you to go. Some times it is just what you need to do to get away for a little while.. Can't wait to see what you made.

[Deleted]

Oh, I want to do that some time!

But on Friday, I got to work on a couple of class layouts here at home while Bernadette was running back and forth to her A's, doing my shopping for me!

It sounds like you had a very "successful" weekend! Your husband is a lot like my husband, who encouraged me to start scrapbooking!

[misspepper]

Isn't ScrapFest fun? I went last year and had a great time. It was fun to be surrounded by others as wild about scrapbooking as I was. ;D

[christinema]

Told my girlfriend about Mall of America today. We're interested in maybe going some year. Would need to know well in advance when it is, so we can try to get a good price on airfare.

Is it the same time each year?

[cato]

Please feel sorry for us UK crafters who are missing out on all this scrapfest fun !!

[peppermac]

Yes, scrapfest is around the same time each year. Archiver's are the ones who sponsor it, so if you get their newsletters it is announced in there.
