The Atlanta Scrapbooking Adventure

Oh boy, we really had a great time in Atlanta. Lynn drove and we picked up Sally's sister, Sue, in Lake City. Our first stop was Marietta, Georgia and the Rubber Stamp Fantasy store. This is a really great stamp store. I bought my Christmas card stamp that I used last year here last summer and the baby bib stamp I used for the announcements I made for Frances for Francois's birth. We all bought several cute stamps there this year. Then it was off to the Marietta Diner for dinner.

That place is something else. It is impossible to finish all the food they give you. First thing, they give you a piece of spinach pie. Then you get your choice of soup. Next comes your salad, and then your main dish with two sides. There is definitely no room for dessert. Did I mention the 12 inch high cakes that are at least 15 inches in diameter. They are the first thing you see as you come in. They have 3 huge display cases right at the door.
After rolling ourselves out to the car, we drove to Deluth, Ga. to our hotel. Lynn and &  I had adjoining rooms with Sue and Sally. The hotel was great and only 2 miles from the convention center.
The Expo was wonderful. We all took lots of workshops-I took 6.

We did make and takes and shopped, shopped, and shopped at the booths for 2 days.

Lynn has been tooting the values copic markers to me for over a year now, so I finially had to break down and buy some. Actually I bought a lot of them. I also bought a bunch of page kits. I made a lot of pages in the workshops too, so now I need to fill them up with pictures.
Friday night we ate a fabulous local Italian restaurnt. Then we went to Archievers to shop some more.

We did some make and takes at some of the booths too.. We did a really cute owl card. In one of the workshops we made this card. It still needs words on it to finish it up.

I wll post more later. James and I are in Tallahassee and we are getting ready for dinner.
