CKC 2009 - 2 Other Classes

So I did two other things at CKC 2009 this year. My last class of the event was 1 Stamp, 10 Techniques, sponsored by Creating Keepsakes. Definitely not my favorite class. It could have easily been two hours long; I didn't come out of the class with ANYTHING finished, we spent the whole class stamping out the images we'd need at home!

The other event I went to at CKC this year was the Fun-Filled Friday Night crop. DEFINITELY not as good as it was last year! SO MUCH TALKING! Very annoying. People were jabbering on at the microphone about nothing of importance...and they even had a Skinny Cow mooing contest and a Rock Song singing contest (Julie and I didn't stay for that one).

I didn't get much done at the crop; my mojo was pretty much gone 2 hours in with all of the talking. I did get to see everyone that I met last year, though...Patrice, Tonya, Tricia...it was great to see them!

The vendor fair...great as always. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Spellbinders Wizard Die Cutting System. SUPER good price! To supplement that, I bought a labels die set and a set of four dies. I had also hoped to buy a Scor-Pal Deluxe package, but no one was selling them! (the horror). I bought another set of 12 Copics this year, as well...the prices at CKC beat stores in person and on the internet; it's great!

We left the hotel and made ONE more stop before coming home. I really wanted Suzanne to see The Paper Tree in Manchester, so we stopped by there and checked out what Michelle had available. She'd rearranged things since Julie and I were there last. I bought two sheets of patterned paper, a cupcake stamp, and Liquid Applique to try out. I'm excited to frost a cupcake!

All in all, CKC 2009 was a HUGE success. Absolutely fantastic to share my hobby with a bunch of other fantastic women. Staying at the Radisson ABSOLUTELY MADE the experience and we will be continuing on with that tradition for many years to come!
