111712 A Peculiar Date Day

Today the Deer Widows Weekend Scrapbooking & Stamping Show 
was right up the road at the Birch Run Expo Center. 
With only a 2 hour window to be gone from home it was a bit of a scramble.

This was Martha, one of the greeters! 
She really dressed for the occasion, lol


And every time I hit a scrapbook event, I run into my friend, Becky!
(I am really, really bad at selfies, btw...)



The crop area - with shopping right at your elbow.

Well, sometimes these hold-the-camera-as-high-as-you-can & 
hope-for-a-decent-shot photos don't exactly do the subject justice. 
This is just a small sampling of the smorgasbord of scrappy goodness.

This was totally my favorite booth - 
all the yummy stuff: Prima, 7 Gypsies, Jenni Bowlin...

My haul - some older stuff but all inspiringly good deals.

My fave? These charming ladies! I have the PERFECT photos to use these with - 
some fashion shots my mom had taken when she was, if I remember correctly, 19.

I'm tempted to send one to the first 3 comments left on this post - 
email your snail mail addy if you're interested!

My knight in shining armor/chaffeur hung out with a Starbucks double caramel macchiato 
and some magazines while I was shopping, then off to Menards to look at 
anagalypta wallpaper for the kitchen ceiling & E6000 to repair some broken china. 
Take out lunch from Red Lobster rounded off our date day!
