The Baird Family: National Scrapbooking Day was a Sucess!

Thanks to everyone who came to my very first, solo, National Scrapbooking Event.
The very first event I held, as a consultant, was with my entire team in Evansville.
I had 3 people. At this one I had 5!!!!!!

I know many of you wanted to come and were either on vacation, had prior committments
etc. but we missed you!!!! I hope you'll be able to attend my next event.

Thanks and a special "hats off" to my two, loyal, customers, Rose and Tammy who have made
both of my events. I really enjoyed catching up with them and enjoyed looking thru their
albums. They shared a wonderful family trip to St. Louis with each other and their families.
I enjoyed hearing all about (and seeing pictures of) the St. Louis City Museaum and now, plan on taking a trip, this summer with my family.
St. Louis is so rich in educational museams and places like, The Magic House (Jamie highly reccomends this place), for families to enjoy. A perfect place to
visit for living and experiencing life with your family....and then recording them in scrapbooks
for years of enjoyment and reflection.

I also want to thank friends Abbie and Jamie, who came from the Evansville area. They were
the first to arrive and the last to leave....and by golly....they were impressive. They managed
to complete pages and pages of memories. Abbie got caught up on Macie's album and Jamie
completed a complete 8x8 (or so) sized "family winter album".

Jamie brought her cricet (sp) machine and I fell in love with it. I'll have to put that on my list
of "things" I'd like to get. It spiced up my, vacation project, with all the fancy lettering I was able to include.

Very good friend, Valerie, from Henderson and daughter Anne attended as well. They worked
on and completed organzing photos that have been in envelopes for some time. They used the Creative Memories, Sort Boxes to help them with their goal. It was nice
to see how helpful Anne was to her mother. Anne showed some of her creative side by experimenting with some of the tools that I brought. I think she really enjoyed using the
journaling templates. I so enjoyed a "treasure" that Valerie brought and has been talking about. Her great, great grandmother, had completed a "scrapbook" that was dated in 1886. It was full of delightful poetry, letters, name cards, newspaper clippings etc. A true testament of the date and times. I was amazed at how well preserved it managed to stay in. Especially since
in those years they didn't have acid and lignin free paper, tape and glue. Thanks Valerie!!!!

I'm already looking forward to my next event and sharing more memories and fellowship with
you all, whom I am proud to call, not only customers but FRIENDS.
