My Visit with my BSF's and Taylor of Taylored Expressions
I can't believe after all that waiting I'm already back from my trip to Minneapolis and Des Moines, visiting, playing and shopping with my BSFs from my Yahoo group. I flew to Minneapolis last Saturday and stayed over night with my friend Lynette. On Sunday we drove to Des Moines, Iowa and met with most of the group for lunch in Valley Junction. After lunch we went to the Heirloom Scrapbooking Store for some shopping therapy! On Monday we spent the day at Archivers. This is the 3rd year that we've done this - we use one of their classrooms and we share techniques, shop and stamp from 10AM-9PM! I had arranged a visit to Taylored Expressions in Taylor Van Bruggen's home for Tuesday morning. I met Taylor at the winter CHA Super Show and we talked about my group visiting this summer. She had planned a make and take, gave us a demo using the Companion Workshop templates with Maya Mist and then opened her store for shopping! Here is Taylor in her classroom and store:

And the icing on the (cup)cake - Taylor had cupcakes, lemonade and a goodie bag for each of us!
What a wonderful visit we had and we hope to go back again next year! Thanks again Taylor for such a fun time!
