What a great thread! I've only gotten through the 1st page but will read the rest later when I have more time. I've been scrapbooking since the late 90s and while some of the scrapbook celeb names sound familiar, I didn't get into that aspect of it. I was more about the manufacturer names like Bo Bunny, Graphics 45, and K&Co. Scrapbooking isn't the hobby it once was which is probably why so many of the designers left. My personal opinion...the celebs who loved scrapbooking will probably eventually return to some degree, or are still active. Scrapbooking will always be a part of my life, no matter its current popularity, because I love it. I've often wished that one of my ancestors had kept a scrapbook. Maybe one of my descendants will be glad that I did. I know!! Wouldn't it be great to read what our grandmothers did on a daily basis (for example)...

My mother kept a scrapbook. Completely different than how we scrapbook. But she drew a lot. She even has matchbooks, cigarette packaging, and pressed flowers. Ribbons must have been big as well. I like reading her little tidbits. It was nice to receive, as my mother passed away in 1988.

Megan Hoeppner still scrapbooks. I follow her in Facebook and she posts pages occasionally. It also sounds like she does classes for local people where she lives and I *think* she is on a local tv station weekly (she mentioned once or twice). She taught a class at CKC in Manchester I think it was 2 years ago? (I took). Boy I miss the CK classes at the CKC conventions. I really don't care for the classes that are being offered at the CK convention now. I thought her name sounded familiar! I did some searching and found her blog. She has some fun projects. Makes me want to buy some of the stamps! www.meganhoeppner.com/blogAlso, if you want to check out crafty tutorials, this is a local TV station show in the mornings. You might see other scrapbook celeb names. I'm bad at remembering them though! This is the project category of the website. studio5.ksl.com/?nid=53&sid=1042732ETA: I think that's the TV show that mich0222 mentioned.

That's exactly why I keep my PL going (and tuck silly things like supermarket receipts and other ephemera in there) One of my favourite things is an old day to a page diary that my grandmother barely used but instead filled with random notes and clippings. Thanks to that notebook I know how much my dad and uncle spent on their cars, both the cost of the vehicle and things like replacement tyres (and how many kms they got out of that set of tyres), along with random observations that make me laugh now - my favourite is "can of peaches - 49 cents!" next to an old newspaper clipping - it was obviously an ad she found on the back while sticking the clipping into the book.

H-m-m... I'm wondering if that 49 cents was a sale price or if she was shocked at the "high" price?

I have a large shoebox dating back to middle school packed with concert tickets, newspaper clippings I thought were important, various awards, cards and notes from friends...this makes me want to sort through it and scrapbook some of those memories!

I seem to recall pictures of a ton of products being sent to winners for the CK contests.It was so fun to see how much they won - boxes and boxes of stuff. I don't know if they won cash as well. someone brought their Chatterbox album for the $10,000 contest. This is quite vague, but didn't someone get their album stolen at CHA one year and it was a huge brouhaha? I still have a Chatterbox suitcase in my basement that I've been meaning to get rid of. I'm just going to donate it to Goodwill, I doubt I can sell it on Kijiji. I had the set of 3(?) of them but I have no idea what happened to the others. They didn't work well for crops I quickly learned - everything just fell to one side when you rolled the cart. I have the big pink one... I just can't seem to let it go.. I still love it although not very practical. I do use it for storage though. I don't remember the CHA album brouhaha... but it wouldn't surprise me.

Teresa Collins had an album stolen at CHA. I'm sure there were others. I still have my pink Chatterbox suitcase and I have used it to travel and for storage. It makes me feel like Barbie when I travel. Note: I do not remotely resemble Barbie in any other way. My favorite time at CHA was when I decided to create a blog post that was reflected my soldily snarky observations about an industry that took itself far too seriously. Thanks to a link from the original 2peas, my hits jumped to astronomical levels and I was almost famous for a minute. Holy crap, I can't believe that link still works. That was a freaking long time ago. I miss seeing the layouts from Katherine Brooks and Kelly Anderson.

What was the product the company wanted you to demo but that would be sold at big box stores? Inquiring minds want to know! (Pretty please,)

I remember a Saturday night crop at CKC in Bellevue (Seattle) several years ago one woman had her whole craft tote taken during the crop.

I wonder about that when I see all of the items that people leave at their work tables at the Expo crops. I haven’t heard of anything getting stolen there, but I don’t leave things out, even if I just go get a quick bite to eat. And I take most of it with me at night, especially albums.

Man, it was ages ago but I am pretty sure it was some scrapbook software. Colossal waste of our time, as I recall.

I can't remember who wanted to know, but I think the "other Stacy" you were thinking of is Stacy Croninger. She has the basset hounds. I met her at a CK event about 6 or 7 years ago, and she was a real sweetheart. I had a hound mix at the time, and we talked about them for awhile. I follow her on Twitter, but I haven't seen many tweets from her lately - unless I'm missing them. I don't check Twitter often.

Kelly Crowe had a fun style. Just another name I thought of but I hadn't seen anyone bring up.
