I'm thinking about going. I've been reviewing the classes.

I am thinking about it. I will check with my aunt and see if I can stay at her house. If i can and it works into my summer schedule I hope to go.

I and a bunch of friends are going. Some are staying at the hotel next to the convention center...but since we're from West Palm Beach....most are driving back and forth....more money to spend on the goodies!!!

 

[Faerie]

My boss will be in Alaska so I'm thinking of taking Friday off and going. It looks like fun (and a good excuse to buy more stuff)

I registered today for 1 crop and some classes.

Which crop are you doing Rebecca? I'm debating on doing one. I'm also debating on the Disney class on Friday

 

[rlovew]

I am doing the one on Thursday night- the album one. I am thinking about the others but I don't really want to travel to my aunts after them as they end fairly late. I didn't register in time to get the Disney Board book but I am registered for the Disney pages on Saturday.

I only can go on Fri. I signed up for My Simple Truth with Lisa 8:30-10a, Basic Grey-11:10-12:10, Then I will have lunch,then shop, shop and shop followed by the Heirloom Recipe Box 4:30-5:30. We should all wear our Home Depot Green Mickey's.

I am going Thursday through Saturday. Here are my classes:
Thursday: 6-7 Simply Paint;
7-10:30 Album Crop
Friday: 9:50-11:50 Disney Board Book (It just opened up)
12:30-1:30 Little Black Dress Basics
1:50-2:50 Through the Years
6:00-8:00 A Clearly Cutting Edge Album (it was recently added)
Saturday:8:30-9:30 5 in 1 with SEI
11:10-12:10 Latest and Greatest with Basic Grey
1:50-2:50 All about Heritage

Between times I am shopping. I am staying near the convention center at a hotel since I have a 2-3 hour drive to get there. I decided if I was going I wanted to learn lots of techniques and I get bored shopping very easily so I left myself some time for shopping but not so much time that I would go crazy.

I will wear my Lime Green Mickey Head (although I will make my tags I have never gotten any from Home Depot).

I would love to meet some of you who are going.

I think I'm going to try to do the Latest and Greatest on Saturday Rebecca... I have had a bunch of stuff come up so i'm holding off on registering since money is tight..... I'll go by to browse though (probably)


Okay, thanks to my darling BF, I'm now registered for the Latest & Greatest on Saturday and have a pass for Saturday

 

[rlovew]

I look forward to seeing you there.

Rebecca were you in the album crop last night?

 

[chiefdragon]

I am not going to the one in FL, but I am attending the one in Valley Forge, PA. I am so excited....I went last year and had a blast...can not wait for this year.

 

[PigletsPal]

Had a really great time today, took 4 classes and spent some $$$ on shopping also. I wasn't to crazy about the Basic Gray class I took. But really enjoy'd the Sweet Little Girl album and the Heritage Recipe Box class.

 

[Faerie]

I think I'm taking that basic Gray class today Piglet so glad to hear it's good!

 

[rlovew]

I went to all my classes and spent lots of money on the vendor floor. I learned a lot although some people around me in classes complained about what they learned. My favorite class was the one with SEI and I learned to make the best element- this cool slider that lets you put 3 pictures in the space where one should be. My head is still spinning from everything I learned and took in, I still haven't unpacked the car either.

I really enjoyed the basic gray class. I wasn't impressed with my little black dress class. I've heard they are coming back to Fort Lauderdale next year!

I spend exactly all the money I brought on the vendor floor - I'm glad I only brought cash!

 

[PigletsPal]

Didn't some of the vendors have some really good sales. I also only bought cash and spent what I brought including lunch and the $11 for the parking.

 

[Faerie]

Piglet are you in Broward? I hit a couple of LSS that I didn't know existed until this weekend and came away quite impressed. I'm looking forward to next year's convention!
