I just love that twice a year my local scrapbook store, Scrapbook Generation, has my team and I come in to show off two of my newest collections that will be released at CHA just days later!
We always have a blast together and the SG "ladies" always treats of with open arms
and cupcakes!
Heather, Katrina and I hosted 3 different mini classes with my new collections!
Heather, (Me), Karin and Debbie (the owners of Scrapbook Generation)
This sweetie-pie brought me chocolates! Yum Yum!
Here are the cupcakes... so good!
These are 2 of the layout classes using my new "School is Cool" paper collection!
Aren't they so cute! The ladies at Scrapbook Generation created them!
Two ladies that were in the morning classes!
These two cards were part of the mini classes taught through out the day!
(Idea for card came from Scrapbook Etc Magazine, July Issue)
My papers stocked on the store shelves!
I think I see someone carrying around some cute papers...
Samples: by DT Diva Liz Qualman
Hmmm.... must be break time?
I had the best surprise today... these two ladies stopped in to say "hi" and asked if I knew who they were? They looked so familiar but I could but a name to a face then they said "Jamie & Suzy" from elementary and middle school! I haven't seen these two for over 24 years! As soon as they said their names I knew exactly who they were! Such a wonderful treat for me!
Thanks so much Suzy & Jamie for stopping by to say hi it was truly wonderful to catch up with you both!
As always it was a great day at my local scrapbook store!
Thanks Scrapbook Generation!

This makes my heart so happy! Nikki you are the sweetest and most generous person! Have fun handing out those goodies! I know the ladies will be thrilled!
Wow wow wow! I have tears in my eyes on how much stuff you got!!! That is awesome! You are such an awesome person for doing this! Your SG day looks like fun and CONGRATS to the winner! :):):):):):)
I know that losing our scrapbook materials would seem trivial if we lost our house, but as a scrapbooker, you know just how healing and spirit lifting scrapbooking is for so many of us. The ladies of Joplin are so blessed to have you help them. It's so thoughtful of you do all this.
wow what a fun class!! loving those school is cool layouts! sooo love this line!
wow how amazing with all the products! congrats
Awesome what you did for the woman in Joplin!!!!
And it looks like you and Katrina have a lot of fun at SG.
Greetings Lea
Loved hearing about this, reading about this and seeing all your hard work in pictures. What an amazing way to give back.
Thanks so much for delivering the stuff we sent:)And I am thrilled that so many others rose to the occasssion. It means so much to us to know that a real live person is delivering it and it will actually get put into someone's hands rather than ending up lost in a warehouse somewhere. My prayer is that all of the Joplin scrapbookers will find a moment of happiness as they get to play with their new things:)Thanks again for doing this! You are an inspiration! http://visionsofpaper.blogspot.com/
