Dallas Stamp & Scrap Show?

Just in case anyone would like to know what it was like, I went this morning. It was small, but there were more than enough stamps to keep me happy. Not as much scrapbook stuff, although there was some.

It was worth going (for me). I wanted one of the Marianne house dies. One vendor there had the one I wanted. It wasn't cheap, but those dies come from the U.K. Amazon wanted double the retail price. I have seen some adorable cards done with this die.

I went next to Heartfelt Creations, where I bought some stamps and matching dies. Then I went to Rubber Cottage and bought a bunch of card sayings.

All in all, I spent more than I thought I would, but felt it was definitely worth the hour drive to get there. If I didn't already have far too many stamps, I probably would have spent more, but I didn't spend much time at most of the stamp booths. I was looking for specific things,so once I found them, I was done shopping.

I spent two hours at most there. The admission was good for two days, although I think those who would return for a second day probably just wanted time away from kids to scrapbook, or spent a lot of time at the booths learning techniques. Several booths had demos or make and takes. I didn't want to take the time this time.

I also posted this on the Scrapping Board, so I did an update there as well.
