Was a big disappointment!!! Howdy, folks! I just got back from 3 hot days in Las Vegas with the family. We planned this trip surrounding me attending the Creating Keepsakes Convention. This is the first time Creating Keepsakes has held a convention in Las Vegas. I figured with Nevada's relative proximity to Utah, the scrapbooking capitol of the United States, there would be scores of vendors and I would be so glad for my giant mommy car as I packed all my loot to take home. Boy was I wrong!!!
There were so few vendors there, I couldn't even find things to buy! On the top of my "To Purchase" list was an ATG Gun.
I figured finding this, being a favorite scrapbook adhesive, would not be a problem and I would be able to get it at a great price. No one had it!!!
I also wanted to stock up on paper for the upcoming sketch class over at www.inspiredtoscrap.net but there were only 4-5 booth's that had paper and the pickings were slim. I had my photos all ready to match up to paper and I was only able to get paper for one layout - this adorable On the Go collection from Bo Bunny that will be perfect for my Touch-a-Truck pics.
The last on my list was some dorky, matching scrapbook t-shirts for Deborah and I to wear when we head to the convention in PA in July. It was a no go on that one too.
So I'm keeping my finger's crossed that the PA convention is a better attended event. In the meanwhile, I am off to my LSS this week to stock up on paper!

Bummer it was a bust. For some reason, I was thinking that the CK conventions were more for classes and crops? I LIVE in Utah and there aren't even hardly any scrappy stores.
ReplyDeleteI took three classes which were pretty good. The class schedule was pretty slim because there were barely any vendors there to host classes! I have never done the crops. Deborah and I have started doing our ow crop in the hotel lobby:-) ~ Hil
DeleteDarn. I wanted a dorky shirt! LOL I'm confident we will have better luck next month. I think part of your problem was not having the paper ho in tow!! I'll enable you better in Lancaster. ~ deb
ReplyDeleteI love my ATG - i saw the pink one at Michael's and you could use a coupon :D
ReplyDeleteI'm out of tape for it... which says a lot since I haven't scrapped in eons. I went to use it to wrap a present and bam, it ran dry....
Dorky shirts work - i have a non-dorky one that I love.
