Hi there....I asked this same question over on NSBR....Who have you met in person ? I've had lots of fun meeting some PEAS in person; but it's been many years, so I'm guessing the numbers. 1. Creating Keepsakes University -2001 : met at least 5 Peas, maybe more. 2. Great American Scrapbook Convention (Dallas)-2001 : One 3. Great American Scrapbook Convention (Arlington, Virgina)--2002 ? ? ? : None 4. Weekend Crop thrown by a Pea : (Los Angeles) ---2004 About 10 Peas, but more people from another scrapbooking site ("Cropper's Cottage") 5. At local scrapbook stores (those FUN days when there were SO MANY STORES!!!) ---met a few pea at various crops. How about YOU?  -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The entire thread for those that are interested 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/51450/peas-met-person?page=3&scrollTo=1371810 |

I was in the LSS in Kamloops, BC one day and met a lady who had just been named a Memory Maker's Master. She was very talented. I haven't seen her over here but she told me she was a Pea and she was fun!

Probably more than I realize. I know for sure I met 2 at a scrapbook expo and several at a CKU I went to because people wore Pea badges. I've met a lot of people at classes and the events I mentioned who may very well have Peas and the subject never came up. Maybe next time I'll 'casually' work it into the conversation. I'd love to meet my fellow Peas IRL.

None yet, but I have plans to meet one soon. Maybe more if anyone else will be at the Carson Stamp Show. I've found Peas to be a little shy about meeting others of their own kind, myself included.

We had a Twin Cities meet up at least ten years ago, I'd guess. I probably met 10 or 12 there. Then I met up with iamkristinl16 at Crafts Direct in St Cloud for crop. That was great. We met up again, and need to do it again sometime! |

oaksong .....that's interesting. I've never met a pea who was shy about it---but--that was a so long ago. I like your choice of words: " their own kind"...hee hee;) Delta Dawn....that's nice that you two had fun You brought back memories of how fun it was when new scrapbook magazines arrived in the mail

scrapincin .....I'm sure that not only did y'all have a blast meeting, chatting, and scrapbooking together, but I have heard that mall is amaaaazing!!! Was Scrapfest at a scrapbook store in the mall, too, or another store? And this may sound like a silly question---if it was an actual scrapbook store, do you know if it's still open? I wouldn't normally even ask; HOWEVERrrrr, even though almost all of the ten (or more?) scrapbook stores in my city closed  several years ago; there ARE two that are still open, which does amaze me !

Lots! I was lucky enough to be able to go to one of Kaitlyn's Crops a long time ago and met some wonderful ladies. One was even nice enough to host me for the weekend!

The Scrap Fest was actually sponsored by Archiver's which has closed its doors nationwide unfortunately. They had representatives from a lot of the scrapbook in companies like Echo Park, Heidi Swapp etc and there booths and there were classes you could take, and exhibits. There were a lot of scrappers there as we waited in lines for demonstrations. nylene was there with us and a lot of the Calendar Girls group. I do not remember how many times we walked that mall. We all stayed at the same hotel so we would talk and share what we did all day. I believe it was 2011 when we went. |

I thought this WAS the other thread! I just copied and pasted from the other thread and made one change. Two and almost met a third. GeorgiaPea, met her years ago when she still lived in Roswell. guzismom and I met a year ago tomorrow when she came up to the Christmas Jubilee, a big shopping deal we have in the civic center every year. I was supposed to meet another pea when she came to Ruidoso several years ago but she didn't call. And if I'd moved back to Louisiana 12 years ago when I planned, I'd have met eebud. Even though she lives elsewhere, we grew up fairly close to one another and she still had family in the area as do I. |

I briefly met @myboysandme at Expo last year, she brought me a slice of cake for my birthday! She was so sweet! I don't believe I have met anyone else though, oh wait I remember meeting a pea at one of the local (now closed) scrap stores, but I can't remember her name (sorry!)

I met acd at a crop last year. There was a former pea there also that acd knew, but she wrinkled her nose when we mentioned the refupeas so i don't think she's a current member. We polled the whole room looking for others (i believe attendance was 100+) but mostly we got blank looks. I know there are other peas in Omaha but have not met them. I'll be at the Busy Scrappin' "Bizzys" crop the end of February if anyone is attending. i'll have to post a sign to break the ice for any shy peas. |

Gluestick Girl is a neighbor, but I don't know her and I doubt she's a practicing pea. It's weird to see her layouts with photos from my neighborhood.

I have met quite a few - probably about 20 or more from the old 2 peas and from this board, maybe 3 or 4.

While we were still on Two Peas 12 of us met at the Mall of America for Scrap Fest! We had the best time ! What a wonderful time we had together! They will be my forever friends. I also met one from Texas who came to Utah, 2 other semi-local peas, and one on a trip to Florida. Peas are the nicest PEAple. Save |
