The Scrapbook Expo

Twice a year I get the privilege to attend the Scrapbook USA Expo. This is my time to spend the weekend with just the girls and for the most part, NO KIDS. I think this year's spring expo has to be up at the top as far as expo's go thanks in large part to my mom. She decided to purchase VIP tickets for Alisha and me. My friend Tina also did the VIP with us. There were a lot of perks from being a VIP at the expo. We got to sit in the audience for a live taping of Good Things Utah. Ya that's right, we were on tv. We got to an awesome goodie bag filled with $50 worth of scrapbooking supplies. We got to attend a fun make and take class. They provided breakfast, lunch, and snacks. And to top it off we got a 5 minute massage. After a long day of shopping and a little bit of scrapbooking it felt wonderful.
Alisha and I had our names drawn out to be participants in the Boggle competition. As most of you know the Roberts family is very competitive. There was a lot of smack talk, but in the end I didn't disappoint the family. I was the WINNER!!! I won a purse from a vendor there. It was worth $60. I gave the purse to my Aunt Trish to say thanks for letting us stay at her house Friday night. She is an awesome hostess. I would have rather had some scrapbooking stuff, but oh well. I am happy just with the satisfaction that I am the Boggle Champion of the Scrapbook Expo. My friend Michelle played in Musical Chairs. It came down to her and the chick in the brown shirt, but the other chick won. Michelle played hard and had her elbows and booty out, but the chick in the brown shirt wanted it a little more I guess.
Saturday we were just normal people instead of VIP, but we still had a good time. We got some awesome deals, had some good laughs, and even scrapbooked a little bit. A big THANK YOU to my mom! She watched my kids so I could go to the expo. Thanks mom I love you!!! You're the best. Now we just have the countdown to the next expo which is September 19-20. The only problem that I foresee is that Jeremy and my 10th year anniversary is September 18th. I guess I need to start the planning now.
