Wow!!! I was a CKU virgin... but no longer am! YEA! But I am a bit sick though from the experience... my body couldn't take it... but lets start at the very beginning... I may put this post in several post because I want ot post a lot of pictures and I don't think this blog will let me do it.
Tuesday.... I was excited... couldn't sleep.... had to get swaps done!
Wednesday... didn't get much sleep. We were meeting around 6:30. I was afraid that I would oversleep, so I kept on waking up every hour. I got there at 6, and I was the first one there in the lobby. So I sat and listened to music, about 10 minutes later, a few other ladies showed up. Jessica, Alison, and Nam came down with boxes. In it were goodies for us! YaY for goodies! We got a paper holder and in it was a pattern paper made specifically for the trip. Oh yea, by the way, these ladies did a super job and I was sooooooooooooooooo glad that I decided to go on the the bus tour. It is a must!!! And these ladies got a lot of sponsors to donate stuff. I say, hip-hip-hooray to the ladies! :-) Now back to the event. My bus (the Jessica Rabbit bus) arrived a little late, but thank goodness we had no traffic all day!
The first stop was at Scrapping Good Times in San Dimas. They had a cute make and take for us. I spent a lot of money there. They also gave us a tote bag with a water bottle. If we had the bag and bottle at the CKU's make and take and stop by the Strictly booth, we were recieve a bracelet (and I did...hehe). Got a whole bunch of goodies on the bus, such as stickers and My eye book. I like it and may get one for next year, year in review album. Also, needed to add that Scrapping Good Times fed us. Food makes me happy.... hey I need to put that in my Happy Things Album.
Next stop was to Timeless Treasure. Nice place, lots of stuff. I got myself a Heidi Swapp 9x9 album with paper kit they put together for $17.50!!! They had a father's day card make and take.
Afterwards, the surprise was a visit to the MAMBI warehouse. Very cool! For $25, MAMBI gave us a $75 value pack (with really good stuff). For all of the money they had recieved they will donate it all and also match it and donate it to CHOC hospital! Very cool!
Next up was Angel's Garden, home of the Zutter. They gave us a really cool tote bag. It has a crazy lady in the front that says "Scrapping Nut" or something like that. I like it! Can't wait to use it. hehe Because that is all me! They had a dollar section for us to go crazy for. Oh yea... everything was 30% off to us!
Next is Red Bee. They had sales and goodie bags for us. I love mat papers... so they had a DCWV stack on sale... buy two get one for free... well you can guess what I bought!
Lastly was Strictly Scrapbooking. My LSS!! Oh yea! Lance was there for a cute mini-file folder album, with a pirate theme. They also had another make and take, a door handle thingy (can't think of what it is called) using the Mariah Johnson's paper. It is soooo pretty!!! They had goodie bags for us and a raffle for a really big prize. They were great! :-)
So yea... I did a lot of shopping and got a lot of things! Thanks Jessica, Nan and Alison! You ladies rock!
Oh yes... I met a lot of ladies from the board. It was nice putting a face to a name. My seat partner was Sheila who has cute kid name Fox. :-) (I think it is a spiffy name by the way!) For a short time it was Hailey.
Afterwards, Sheila and I decided hey, lets hop on the limo to the Oasis. And did exactly that! My other LSS! Alright! They had a really, really, really, really, cute good bag they have out to all of CKU students for stopping by and shopped there. It is made out of felt, but hand made by them. And it is soooooo stinkin' cute! Yes Karen, I am going to sport it! :-)
Ok.... well... I have stuff to get done right now... so I will talk about day two later.
