I spent a weekend three years ago with a friend scrapping at an event that Keller's Creations put on (www.acidfree.com). It was lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI went to Columbus to the Stampin' Up scrapping convention in February 2012
ReplyDeleteI've only gone to one scrapbooking event years ago. It was OK but not what I expected.
ReplyDeleteI went to a quilting event most recently at the Wisconsin state fair park expo :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was "Rubber Stamp Event" , March 4 of this year in Mesa, Arizona.. It was great!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy mom and aunt's always have a girls sewing day. It is a lot of fun, even though I don't sew that much. I want to go to a scrapbooking crop someday.
ReplyDeleteI've been to an all-day scrapbook event and an "all-weekend" (during day hours) crafting event but both were a couple years ago. Both were local (small) events - nothing like an expo
ReplyDeleteMost of the scrapbooking events are too far away, but I have attended several quilt shows in this area.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a craft event. I hear a lot about crops, but have never gone myself. :)
ReplyDeleteThe last event was in November, a crop with lots of friends. I am looking forward to CKC in Manchester in April.
ReplyDeleteThe last even I went to was The Scrapbook Expo, comes every summer. My sister & I go together, but drive separately, because she's always done before me..lol I go around and around and around and spend too much money, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteScrapping U.S.A. is held in my hometown (Grand Island NE)twice a year (April & October) so I was there October 2011 and I will be there April 2012.
ReplyDeletePrecious Hugs
I just went to Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim. I wish they would put it back at the fairgrounds here...I had so many issues with the parking (the lot close to it was full, had to park with two other events far away), and the workshops are SO far away from the selling floor :( I love expo and look forward to it each year...I may try the San Diego one to see if it's better, but I may not return to Anaheim :(
ReplyDeleteGo to many cropping events, the last one was Scrapology St Patricks Day Event, going to National Scrapbbok event in StLouis and another week end event in Poplar Bluff MO
ReplyDeleteI always have to go to the spring and fall scrapbooking events by C-M, the spring one is in April...already sighed up. A fun weekend ahead! :)
ReplyDeleteLast event I was at was a 12 hour fundraiser crop for our local relay for life..I'm heading to a quilt event tomorrow.. Can't wait
ReplyDeleteYES! Of course! Just this past weekend I was at a scrapbooking retreat in Roscommon, MI. My favorite scrapbooking retreat is at Boyne Highlands in Michigan. It is an awesome retreat!!! Friends, food, tutorials, vendors and oh yah, scrapping! :D
ReplyDeleteI went to a national scrapbook day event for creative memories. I took my daughter and we had lots of fun.

ReplyDeleteEvery year I go to CKC scrapbook convention in Bellevue, WA. The last one was in Nov. I also go to the Heirloom Productions rubber stamp convention every May as well. They are tons of fun and I look forward to them every year. :D
ReplyDeleteMy local GAWC(General Association of Womem's Clubs)participates in an annual arts and crafts festival that is at the state level here in NC, It was held 3 weeks ago. My friend & I were responsible for bringing our regional winners to the event for entry into the state competition. There were contests for children & women's club members - everything from art painting to paper crafts to metal art to sculpture to home crafts & sewing.... It was amazing to see what others created!
ReplyDeleteI also go every June to the GASC Scrapbooking convention in Chantilly, VA. I usually volunteer. Great venue.
I go to scrapbooking events all the time - most recently, I attended a card-making class with all my scrapbooking friends. We built four different cards and I came away with lots of new ideas!
ReplyDeleteWe do Great America Scrapbook Convention every year in Arlington. We make a weekend of it. I have also been to CHA once. I was working at a store and got to go and help the owner.What a great experience.
ReplyDeleteI just got back last week from the Scrapbook Expo at Pleasanton, CA. I had a terrific time, despite the rain and the cold weather!
ReplyDeleteYes it was in Pomona, CA and it was called the the Sew, Quilt Craft Expo. I attended once about four years ago and it was all sewing and quilting. I was disappointed because there was no scrabooking or paper crafts. Then I came a across a flyer at Michaels for the Scrapbook Expo and I was in heavan! Ever since then I go to two conventions a year and I love it! My husband says it is the happiest time of the year for me. Thank you Scrapbook Expo!
ReplyDeleteI have been to a few holiday craft fairs and shows in the local area. There is the kitsap country holiday food and craft show every year we attend to see the local crafts. There is a scrapbook show called the Scrapbook Expo in Puyallup, WA in July I have always wanted to go to and miss every year. but I plan on going this year.
ReplyDeleteI went to a CKC event in Nashville, TN about six or seven years ago.
ReplyDeleteI was at a bead convention a couple weeks ago with my friend, thats her thing. And we were at a stamp and scrapbook convention back in august, thats my thing. Looking forward to the CKC convention in Buffalo in May
ReplyDeleteMy DH always wanted to go to Alaska. So when I saw Teresa Collins was hosting a cruise we jumped at the chance to go. I don't have a LSS and am unable to take classes. This one was a DOOZIE! My next dream is to go to Scrapfest or CHA.
ReplyDeleteI participated in the Avante-Garde Art & Craft Show earlier this year here in NE Ohio as a vendor. It is growing by leaps and bounds and has moved venues several times. I would love to still be able to participate, but money being tight doesn't give me the chance to spend on the vendor fees right now.
ReplyDeleteI must be tired...it was last year because I for a brief moment realized we are not living in 2011 anymore! duh!
DeleteI went to a Country Sampler craft show years ago, and local Scrapbook Events twice a year. FUN!!

ReplyDeleteNot yet, but I hope to soon!
ReplyDeleteLets see I have been to CKU and CKC in Houston, Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington TX, Scrapbook Expo in Austin TX, Scrapaganza in Houston all multiple times. And the biggest one I have ever done was Bazzill's Creative Escape in Arizona twice. I also have been to the International Quilt Show Festival in Houston several times even though I don't sew at all. All the colors and patterns are very inspiring. I LOVE to go to events where other crafty people gather!
ReplyDeleteI went to a crop about six months ago! It was such a treat!
ReplyDeleteI went to CKU-Houston back in...2006?? Somewhere around there, but yes, it's been a long time. I guess the advent of the internet and online challenges, classes, demos, etc. - plus my kids' increasing involvement in sports and scouts activities - has taken my time away from in-person events!
ReplyDeleteI went to CKC last summer in Lancaster...an absolutely wonderful experience.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to an event, but would love to go to Scrapfest in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteI just came home from a Cruise N Crop to Cozumel last month! So fun!!!

ReplyDeleteLast weekend I was at a local scrapbooking retreat with my friend and 37 other ladies from Friday night to Sunday afternoon.

Lots of inspiration from the other ladies' work, 2 classes, prizes and tons of laughs.I'm a very slow scrapper, but managed to finish 2 complete pages, and four others are just about done with a bit of "tweaking" and added embellishments. This is a yearly event with the group and already we are planning one for the fall, so we don't have to wait so long!

ReplyDeleteI've gone to weekend crops at a local scrap booking store on Cape Cod,which has since closed this past summer.So sad a wonderful small business in this economy had to go.
