I'll be there on Saturday as well. I do have to go out of town on Friday for business, but I am hoping to get an early flight back on Satruday, so I plan on going straight to the expo center.

See you all there!!!

Oh I thought it was that weekend! I'm leaving my kids for the first time overnight to go Water rafting with my DH for his bday. I know he will not want to rush back in order for me to "Buy" more scrapping stuff. Shucks!

Erika I live in Montgomery County.

My LSS is running a bus trip. They will all be warring light green T shirts with Second Floor Scrapbook and rubber stamp Store on the back. I wish I were going but I have to work. Have fun

I just went to the GASC in Arlington, TX last week and had some wonderful classes. I really enjoyed the Making Memories classes - both "Beyond Attachments" and "Beyond Metal". MM is a very generous company too. We got tons of supplies to work with, like full packages of rub-ons and charms, and only seemed to use one or two out of each package so lots to bring home. I also took "Magical Memories with EK Success" and loved the projects we did - frame, couple of 12x12 pages, and as a take home project an autograph book. We used lots of the new Jolee's Disney 3-D stickers and Phrase Cafe' stickers. Again, plenty of extras to take home.

Those are my recommendations if you're interested in taking any classes. Have fun there whatever you decide.
