Going to my first scrapping expo ... help!

[alleghator]

Hey, everyone ...

I'm going to my first scrapbooking expo this Saturday. There are two classes, plus a bunch of vendors. It's a CK event. I'm very excited, but afraid to be caught unprepared. What should I take with me? What should I leave home?

Their basic list of supplies includes a trimmer, adhesive, black journaling pen and micro-tip scissors. What else should I bring along?

Thanks in advance for any tips and tricks!

I am so jealous Plan pages ahead of time, have all the pics, paper, stickers, etc. together. This cuts down on taking all your paper. I always take alot to my crops I go to. Markers, chalks, some punches (or pre punch them for a space saver), CM circle cutters. That is if you will be cropping. I remember I went to one of my first crops and took a little bag of what I thought I needed, boy I was unhappy. I wanted everything I left at home. I wasn't very organized at all.

HAVE FUN!

Hey, I'm going on Friday....My first too. I'm a little nervous because I'm a newbie at scrapbooking.

I'm not a scrapbooking newbie, but I've never expo-ed before. I don't know how much free cropping I'll be doing, as I didn't register soon enough to get into the big crops (next year!).

But, I'll need stuff for my classes, but light enough to lug it when I'm shopping the Vendor Faire.

Snacks? Water? Anything else?

Are you going to the one in King of Prussia?
How can we plan a little meet?

I'll be at the one in Valley Forge this Saturday throughout the day. My classes are at noon and 4:30pm.
