Wow! What a fun trip, I am home now with my sweet family that I missed dearly, but it was an awesome weekend at the Expo. Katie and I enjoyed the show and the crop parties. I met so many new people from different corners of the Arts and Crafts industry. I loved making new friends and learning new tricks to the trade. Took advantage of a few opportunities to share my style and techniques with a few admirers in exchange for their much appreciated feedback.
Friday nights crop party was a beach theme which was a little ironic considering the big rain storm outside..lol, but it was nice to feel like we were at the beach inside...(we cheated the system)8D
Saturday's crop had a spa pamper theme, which was absolutely perfect! After hauling my "truckload" of treasures everywhere..(scrappers occupational hazzard) it was a miracle to find a licensed massage technician ready and available to take care of me. We had a choice to wear our favorite pajamas (I chose to wear my lucky t-shirt for St. Patrick's day..whoo-hoo! And yes ladies! (and gents!) there was a manicure,pedicure tech there too! Isn't that great?! Definitely something I would like add to my next crop...along with all the yummy cake-pops!...We always love to check out the showroom and jump on a few great deals on supplies and tools. Make-n-takes are fun and they had some interesting demos and classes there too!
In the midst of all this fun I was able to create a mini shabby chic album and ill give you a sneak peak at it in these photos, be sure to check it out and tell me what you think before I put the finishing touches on it...8)
Capturing every precious moment life has to offer, with my trusted camera by my side is pure joy! Then turning those photos into art is my passion! I can always be found spending every spare minute in "Rana's Nerd Corner", as my husband calls it, having an absolute blast doing what I love making something out of anything. Finally! Here I am hoping to inspire you in the way my favorite artists have inspired me. Be Creative. Be Optimistic. Be Inspired.
