What a weekend! ❤️ After a few years away, it was so good to be back at the Creating Keepsakes Convention in Lancaster, PA… and what a way to return! This was our most successful Lancaster convention ever.
I had the privilege of teaching our travel-themed class twice to a total of 120 amazing scrapbookers, and both classes sold out. Thank you for the smiles, hugs, kind words, laughter, and conversations. You reminded me why this community is so special.
And then… there was the fire alarm! 🚨😂 For the first time in all of my years attending Lancaster, the entire convention had to evacuate. I guess that means we officially need to design a firefighter-themed scrapbook spread now!
As bittersweet as it is, we won’t be returning to Lancaster in 2027 because the convention dates overlap with our own Create & Inspire: Doodlebug Style Croptacular. We’ll certainly miss seeing so many of you there, but we hope you’ll come make new memories with us in Noblesville.
Thank you, Lancaster, for such a warm welcome back. Until next time… happy scrapping! ❤️
