So I decided to be there like 3 hours early. I heard from others that registration could be crazy and that lines would be long. The make and takes would be just as worse, the ones with popular celebrities would have really long lines. So I my plan was to hit the big names then everyone else. I wanted to do ALL of the make and takes. So... in the end, I managed to hit 25. I believe that's how many there were, but I don't know for sure. Lil Davis (Michelle Hill) was a hit. The page was very cute and lots of goodies from them. At Making Memories, I was disappointed with their layout. Not too great at all. But they gave us little purse. :-D So that made up for it. At Tim Holtz's table, I learned to use the ink dabbers. And I like it... so guess what I end up buying? :-P Scrapbook Oasis, Every After and the Oasis had very cute layouts... Oh yea, must not forget about the Scrapbook Depot. I think the LSS made the most fabulous layouts. Especially since they pay to be a part of CKU. I heard from a LSS (they were not involved this year) that the last time they signed up for CKU it cost $250 just to put their name in the ad thingy!!!!! Let see here, did Becky's make and take, it was cute. She did not have the brads for her page so we picked it up the next day. Rusty Pickle was nice. I learned to incorporate a digital designed page to a scrapbook page... what was it called... oh year hybrid. So I thought that was cool. In the end, did the page by Stemma. It was and ok page. We put it all in a bazzil album, but there weren't enouch pages so I had to put more pages in it at home. Skinny Cow was there giving out ice cream bar! I wish I like ice cream...
So... I was the first one to register and the first one in. I was cheering as I was running into the make and take room. :-P Also, I forgot to mention, we were swapping tags and ribbons. Not a lot of people swapped tags. I made like 28 and only swap a little less than half. I swapped a tag and a few ribbons for chocolate that came all the way from Switzerland! Gave the chocolate to my boyfriend, I don't like chocolate. Around 4 was the big paint can swap. We set our cans down and walked in circle. Well.... to be honest, the can I got was ok.... There were a lot of really great cans though. As I was walking over to do my calendar swap, a person (can't remember her name) didn't make it to the swap one time, so I was being nice and swapped her can. The can was not too super either... no treat. poo. At the calendar swap, everyone showed up by October. There were a lot of nice pages... made mine look like poo. But I worked pretty hard on it with the little time I had. I hand painted the flowers and hand colored the flowers and stuff... poo. I turned in my card for the greeting card swap. I think my card came out fantastic though. I like it.
Once again, I went to the Oasis. They had food!!! I was extremly happy because I did not want to do the double shuttle to get to my car and drive out. Plus I met Jeanette. She talked me into going. The food was great and it filled me up. Plus did a little more shopping at the Oasis. Thanks you for feeding us Scrapbook Oasis! You will now and forever be #1 in my book! :-D
Barely made it back to the Tailgate party. The dorms were doing their thing. We had Cowgirls, Chiefs and Scrappy Cat Dolls. All were very cute! We got a goodie bag with some goodies. Not really memorable goodies really, but got a 9' trimmer/laminator from the Purple Cow. Which is pretty cool... but I don't have a use for a 9 inch trimmer since I do 12 inch scrap pages... oh well... something for the garage sale I guess.
The campus crop was fun. I met more celebrities. All of us non-dorm pirates got together. That was when I got my treasure from the treasure hunt! Thanks again Charity and all of the gals who contributed to the loot. I would say that was the best prize I recieved from the event. :-D Took a dorm picture. But I didn't stay too long because I was tired and wanted to rest for the next day.... which were my classes! YEA!
