Everything WLCA @ CHA

OK, THAT would be virtually impossible. I just learned about an organization called 'Everything Mary' at the World's Largest Crop Attempt at CHA so it became the inspiration for my title! ;)

This was a fun crop!

First off, this is an enormous room!



Something over 300 people were there to spend up to 13 hours of creating, socializing, doing make-n-takes, watching demos and experiencing various products all organized by Scrapbook Royalty and the amazing volunteers in that organization.

Oh, and CHAs Craft Supershow was going on downstairs too if you wanted to browse the hall.

I was invited by some great people from the Crop in Orange to sit with them. I was amazed to realize that I actually knew quite a few of the folks who came to participate.

Some of my table mates..




I participated in some of the demos & make-n-takes like this two page Birthday layout:



Overall, it was an amazing day and everyone seemed to have a great time.

Will you be in Chicago next summer? Want to help us try again for the World's Largest Crop Attempt? Sounds like it will be at CHA again so keep a look out for that one!

Update 1/27/10: I learned that Scrapbook Royalty raised $10,000 for Kids in Need! Bravo SBR!

Scrapbook Expo!

I realize that things have been kind of quiet around here lately...

I was kind of sick a few days THEN I spent a goodly amount of my time getting ready for the Scrapbook Expo in Costa Mesa, CA and helping out Scrapbook Royalty with their CHA work - the Worlds Largest Crop Attempt and being personal assistant to Elena during the trade show portion.

SO, I'll report on the Scrapbook Expo a little bit here (more good stuff coming as i tried something new i want to share with you!) and I'll work to keep on bringing fun blog posts to you!

OK, this is the second time I went to the Scrapbook Expo and I intentionally went to enjoy the experience with no particular order to what I looked at or did and I actually did some shopping! One of the very best reasons to GO to the SE is to find good deals; and I did.

I stopped at Craft Fantastic and made this beautiful piece:



I'll post more about this later too.

I stopped by the Storytellers booth (i'm a member!) where they had a giveaway at specific times. Because I'm a member, they offered me a second set of the "Double Page Kit." So fun!


Happy Scrapper!

I saw some new things that I'll get into a bit more later too. One thing that was just fascinating was a Ribbon Organizer & Dispenser which Lou took a lot of time showing me how it works (video to come!):



Well, I could sure go on, and I was only there on Sunday. I want to get this out and I'll be relating more of what I experienced in a future post.

Did you go to the Scrapbook Expo in Costa Mesa, CA? Somewhere else? Do you know that they appear all over the country now? Have I excited you enough to check it out for yourself now? :)

Thanks for stopping by,

Pam Hoffman

Please Help Spread the Word!

Scrapbook & craft enthusiasts are going for a World Record in Anaheim, CA this month.

It will only take about 1000 of us to break the record for most crafters at a crop at one time!

Please help spread the word and if you can be there, Join Us!

The blinkie on my blog, upper right, can be snagged to help you spread the word.

If you can't get ahold of it for some reason (right click - View Page Source - copy/paste it) let me know and I'll send it along for you.

Thanks!
