I am going on Friday with friends and going to the Friday crop. I'm not going Saturday because it is my hubby's birthday. He said he didn't care if I went but I thought letting him be with me all day would be an awesome present! lol

Lots of money!! :mrgreen: :twisted: For shopping, bring a nice large canvas or heavy duty tote bag to carry your purchases. I attended this expo for the first time last year and spent more $$ than I had intended. I went to an expo in St. Louis in the spring and did better, but still spent a bit more than I had budgeted.

For the crop, try to decide on a project and bring the items needed. Try to keep the number of totes to a managable amount. I try to bring only one roller tote and one table top tote and one shoulder tote. Maybe this will be the time that I am able to follow my tips. :rolleyes: These are the guidelines I try to use when going to an expo or my monthly scrapbooking club. Besides cropping, I like to play with my purchases. :mrgreen:

HTH.

Bonnie, thanks for info.
Hey, my hubby laughed when I said I need $$$ for expo. He thought I paid for everything already, when I registered for class etc. My answer is hey it's my Anniversary?

I might come from the Central Illinois area just for the day on Friday! Does anyone know if Just Rite Stampers will be exhibiting - they are so close I thought this might be a good show for them and they really have a lot of cool new stuff

brits4 08-16-2009 10:02 PM

I'll be attending with a friend of mine. We've gone for the past few years. As for what to bring: I always bring a canvas bag and a 12 x 12 plastic paper holder in case I find some. This way it won't get crushed.

You can click on the link I posted in the first message. and see the vendor's that will be there. I didn't remember seeing Just Rite Stamps.

But I might be wrong on this. Check it out for yourself.

jeanstamping2 08-17-2009 11:13 AM

Wow!!! I just off the phone with one of the Vendor's. I'll be helping set up on Thursday afternoon. and working on Saturday as well.

Woo Hoo!!! Some Extra Spending Cash for me!!!!!


So you might just see me on Saturday working in one of the booths. Paper Wizard.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 04:08 PM.
