Thank you so much for having me... your kindness... your words. This event was just a fun "girls weekend" filled with creative goodness.
The event was held at the HYATT REGENCY in downtown Calgary. The hotel staff was the best I have ever dealt with. Agent 59- was always coming in and taking care of all our needs. It was just a beautiful place to have an event.
The weather was perfect and reminded me so much of SLC. The hardest part was going through customs into Canada. I think telling them I was going to a Scrapbook Event was something they did not hear alot. I was questioned quite a bit. They wanted to know if I had ever had a DUI, or had a record in the USA etc. I was a little scared. ha! Luckily I passed all the questions and I was able to stay.
I loved every moment in Canada. What a beautiful country. The girls I met were so sweet!!!!
I loved getting to talk and share with each of the women who came. Lori has a large group of girls that are more like family then friends. They truly support each other and I being able to talk to each of the girls.
Yes, we shared many laughs and many good memories.
I was able to visit the store The Scrap Yard in Calgary before we went to the hotel. I will honestly say that the store "blew" me away. I had NEVER been in a store like Lori's. It was like going into a Shabby Chic furniture store with art, paper, and the coolest projects adorning the furniture and displays. It was very eclectic and cool. They have classes every day of the week (Sundays off). I was a fan of all the unique vintage tags, buttons, and they carried so much TCD and everything mixed media, Tim Holtz Ranger products and more. I looked through the projects because I was so impressed. Lynn and Susan are the girls who teach and work with Lori. If you are in Canada you MUST go visit the store and see the workshops and crops they host. I would in a heartbeat be in the workshops if I was close. This is Lynn and Susan- they taught at the event with me. It was so much fun. I loved their projects too!
This is Lindsey Bateman. She drove with her friend Sherri- 6 hours to be at the event. I loved the girls. They are so cute, so talented and we were able to spend some great quality time together. So much talent!!!!!
This is Lynn and I. Can't wait to see her again at CHA Winter... isn't she cute?
Just a few of the projects....
I am now home until CHA Winter show. It's time to get ready for Thanksgiving and having all my kids home this week. I am so thankful and full of gratitude. Life is so good.
Thanks again Lori and all the girls at the event. My heart is so full of love and appreciation for what you each gave me.
