scrap goodness

saturday was my first visit to the infamous once-a-year scrapbook expo! it was national scrapbook day, so i just HAD to get my hand on some goodies! jen and i sped out, inhaled a quick mc d's breakfast and were on our way... here are my goodies!
it looks like i did major damage, but overall, i got great deals! can you say thickers?! we bought about 10 packs each, but they were either 40% off or buy 3 get one free, so we saved a bunch!
we were very economical, so at the $1 store, we grabbed one of everything & split it. i think we have enough buttons and brads to last us until next year (or the next 5 - haha). one of the best deals we got was on adhesive lace that we later saw at papertales for $8!
the "50 cents-a-yard ribbon" shop was the most fun! i took first prize ending up with 94 yards!! we got a ton of good quality felt and patterned pieces.
this is one of the few things i paid full price for, but aren't they lovely?
check out my new tote bag ($12 at the expo, $24 at everafter, thank you very much). loving the amy butler fabric!
and last but not least, i nabbed a few urban prairie elements (basic grey) for emma's baby book *yes, i know she is 3!
it was so much fun! i can't wait to do it again next year (with lees & nette too!) ok jen, this will have to be a tradition :)
