I ended up heading out to the Creating Keepsakes Convention on Saturday at the last minute! I took Drew along, so Gee wouldn't be stuck with the whole crew at home, and I actually thought he would have fun too.
My online friend Mandie, who just became part of Rusty Pickle's design team (woohoo!), had posted on our message board that she was going to be there, so I was hoping to get to meet her in person.
The ride wasn't bad at all, only about an hour and a half, but I wish I would've had more time to browse. Drew was really good, but he really just wanted to buy some paper and EAT! :) I somehow, completely missed the Basic Grey booth - ugggh! But I did find some Doodlebug stuff I had been wanting, some more Thickers (LOVE!), some Fancy Pants crocheted flowers, SEI sparkler stickers, and some paper from the American Crafts Craft Fair line.
Drew had brought a dollar with him and was thrilled when I found a .10 paper box!

We did get to meet Miss Mandie and she was so super sweet! It's so funny putting a real voice with a face you've only known online for so long.

I had a great time - definitely too short - but I hope to go to another one soon!
