| road trip! |
A few months ago, I found out one of my favorite teachers
Traci Bautista would be attending the
Great American Scrapbooking Convention as an instructor. I could not believe it would be happening while I was in the states & in my backyard. I asked Grandma & Grandpa if they'd watch the kids while I took a little road trip.

It's always something for me to meet someone I've taken classes with online or "met" creatively via swaps or blogging. Traci did not disappoint! Her class was fun & she shared lots of ideas, techniques, favorite things to do & supplies. It was so sweet that she remembered me from the online classes I've taken. She sent me home with some mixed media supplies knowing I don't have access to much in Kuwait.

So I still have to finish my journal. I have all the pages done. I'd like to add more to the cover & I have to stitch it together. I'd really like to complete it since I'd like to use it as my summer journal. I'm thinking of titling it "3 Months, 3 Countries". Yep, that's the summer for me & the mini-men!

If you have the chance I highly recommend taking a class with Traci. The class time flew by, but I learned so much & had a chance to experiment with some new techniques & supplies. She is a creative soul with a very kind heart! I am so happy the timing was perfect for me to take a class with her.
The following are pieces I worked on during the scrap night. This was what I posted on
my FB page:
So I don't scrapbook & didn't even go to the convention. I just wanted to take a few classes. I even
went to an evening scrap session, but I made canvases. I always just do my own thing...
I just want to be around other creative people, that's all!
