Scrapbook Expo and the Cozy Days of Summer!

By: Sheila Rogers

From: The Cumberland Creek Mystery Series
Author: Mollie Cox Bryan
Book 3 Title: Death of an Irish Diva

 Summer is here! During June and July, we're celebrating the Cozy Days of Summer by giving away a book every day. Today, you can win a copy of Death of an Irish Diva by Mollie Cox Bryan. Just leave a comment before midnight — with your email address so Mollie can reach you — to be entered in today's drawing!



Summer has been great so far—well, after the pie incident (which you can read about in  SCRAPPY SUMMER, ). I spent a whole weekend at a huge convention called the "Scrapbook Expo." I met with some of the vendors, learned a lot in classes, and shopped until my feet and back ached. But it was so worth it. I love scrapbooking and the people involved in it.
I took some photos to share with you.
In the mean time, leave a comment today and win a copy of DEATH OF AN IRISH DIVA.
So much paper, so little time!

But it's not just about the paper!

Lines of people waiting to get in at 7:30 a.m.

Funny t-shirts!


So much shopping !

Embellishments, anyone?

Stamps!

"Nuff said!

    Looking forward to reading this. It would be great to be able to attend a scrapbook convention. We only have 1 small store which offers scrap book supplies. dbahn@iw.net

    I have only been scrap-booking for just over a year but have enjoyed what I have learned so far.

    Used to scrapbook with my girls when they were younger, but we've all given it up these days. Can't wait to read this new book!

    Although I don't scrapbook, I am a card maker and rubberstamper and participate in other paper arts, though I haven't done much lately.

    My scrapbooking consists of "cut-and-paste" back in the 50s/60s. Maybe I should give this "new" stuff a try - or just make up 3 boxes and pass them on to my boys!
    Book sounds terrific!

    I don't scrapbook and considering I work in a craft store the temptation some days is really hard to control. I'm afraid if I start I'll go crazy with it. I have two sisters that are into it and do some beautiful pages...I know that I'm going to cave in one day, LOL.

    Scrapbooking seems like a lot of work but if you lots of kids and grand kids I guess it would be worthwhile. My family is way too small for that. So, I will just have to win books to read instead. lkish77123 at gmail dot com

    My mom made family members, including myself, beautiful scrapbooks as keepsakes. She would have went CRAZY at that expo!

    What fun!!!! Love doing genealogy research and making memories for my family. Every year at our family reunion I share what I've learned and the cousins love hearing about our roots.
