Well ladies Dallas was WONDERFUL!!! Tammy did such an awesome job of running and coordinating this swarm that you just couldn't help but feel special. I only wish she had coordinated my flight too and I am sure it would have been perfect too. The only regret I have is not taking enough photos but I do want to share with you the ones I did take as they are so special to me! I already plan on going next year and I hope to meet you there!
Here is Teressa Collins, Shannon, Cindy Royal, Pam and myself. This was Friday night at the circle meeting after dinner. Do you believe I got to meet all these scrapping stars? 
Here is our little group of four from left to right; Pam of The Bug Bytes, Elizabeth of 217 Creations, myself, and Melissa of Melissa Made. I can't even tell you how excited I was to finally meet in person eash one of these ladies, they are all so special to me. This is one of Pam's photos that she was nice enough to share with me!
These are some photos of the wonderful scrapping room that was open around the clock. The only time we weren't in it was meal time! It was just amazing to see all the beautiful creations that people did. Some people even decorated their tables and room doors!
This is my friend Melissa of Melissa Made and she was my room mate.... poor thing had to put up with me all weekend. She is such a sweetie!
And my friend Pam from The Bug Bytes. I cant' tell you how tickled I was to finally meet her in person and spend time with Pam. She is a wonderful lady and I look forward to seeing her again next year!
And look I even got to meet Tracy from Craft Junkie Too! Lovely lady it was wonderful meeting you.
And here is Karen aka Flywhistle, such a wonderful southern lady.
And look I even got to meet Linda, the Tulip Collector!
These are such great photos, I just have to share them with you all.
And this photo I stole off Pam's blog! I figured ah, what the heck I am in it and knowing Pam she won't mind. We had soooo much fun together I can't wait till next year! I have only 1 regret for the trip... I did not take enough photos!
Tammy of Creative Critters and her crew did a fabulous job of organizing and running this event and I will return may I urge you to go next year too!
Thanks for joining me today, I sure hope you enjoyed the photos and thank you for your sweet sweet words.
Glad to hear you had a great time at the Cricut Stampede! I am curious to hear how your scrapping tools and supplies did with the flights. I have never flown with my scrappy stash and really appreciated your packing video. It made me think I might be able to do that next year! I just wonder if you have any tips or suggestions to add once you completed your travels.

This is the note I mailed back just in case any others want to know how the trip went with my baggage.
ReplyDeleteThank you for you sweet comments. My bag was overweight at the last minute I threw in 10 bags of candy to share so I had to move those to my suitcase. I too was a little nervous as my side pockets were just Velcro so i took a little out of there and placed it in the zipped section. Nothing was was lost or broken all arrived safely. Now I had direct flights also so I was pretty confident that as long as it was placed on the plane I would get but nervous about things like the embossing tool but it made it just fine. Oh, when I came home I tossed the packing around my MS score pal and placed it between my scrapping envelopes and it too traveled well. I took so much that I never got to the mini albums as I took the 5 hour Teressa Collins class and it was worth every minute. All and all I came back confident about how I packed and will fly again next year!

Looks like so much fun! Can't wait to see some cool new stuff you learned... BUT... we are totally jealous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos. I didn't attend for the entire weekend but did attend a Pink Stamper class in the morning and Teresa Collins class in the afternoon. Which class did you attend? When can we see photos of your completed project. I am still working on my Emotions book.
