One Reason I Live in Utah

I love to scrapbook. Utah is like the scrapbooking mecca of the world. Many of the major scrapbook companies are located here and there are lots of really cool stores. Also, twice a year, in the spring and the fall, is the SCRAPBOOK USA EXPO.
The EXPO puts on a crop, which is a chance to sit and scrapbook (added that for all you non-scrapbookers). The crop begins at 10:00 am and goes until midnight. There is a DJ playing "The Hustle", "YMCA", etc...(you get it :), there are prizes and contests. All the while, thousands of "die-hard" scrapbookers are furiously shopping and madly working on scrapbook pages. LOTS & LOTS OF FUN!!! I have been to this scrapbooking extravaganza four times since I moved here. The first year I went with Erin (miss you, Erin!). I think we were both a little overwhelmed at the size of it. The second time I went alone. I sat at a table with women whose husbands were stationed at Hill Air Force Base. Really fun group!!! Last year I talked Emily into going with me. I think she was a little surprised at the size and all that went on. This year I didn't have to talk quite so hard to get her to go - (I AM SO GLAD I HAVE A CUTE LITTLE CHICKIE TO DRAG ALONG WITH ME TO THINGS LIKE THIS!) We got there about 4:00, found our table and joined the throngs of other creative seeking women who express themselves and their love for their families through the art form of scrapbooking. Yes, I really am glad I am a scrapbooker!

I wish I could have been there with both of you, it looks like you had a lot of fun!! I'm in the process of setting up a scrapbook room and am excited to get some scrapbooking done!
