I'm sure you'll have a great time. This was my first time to go to a scrapbooking convention and it was a blast. Of course I spent WAY too much money. There were so many neat things there that was hard to decide which to invest in. There were also a few things that I'd question putting into my scrapbooks but would probably be fun to use on cards or something else - wood die cuts (isn't that where the lignin that we're supposed to avoid comes from???) or fragrance. I'm just now going through all my purchases, workshop goodies, and give-aways. Boy did I bring home a load.
