For about 10 years of my life, I traveled around the United States (+ a half a dozen other countries) to teach. I have a lot of fond memories meeting thousands of like-minded people who have an interest in getting their pictures and memories preserved, and I am thankful for those experiences.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a scrapbooking convention of any kind. While we were in St. Paul, Minnesota for The Creative Connection two weeks ago (you can see the video here if you missed it), we heard that Archiver’s ScrapFest was going on right there in the next town over. At the Mall of America.

Scrapbookers? Mall of America? Sure!

David and I jumped in a cab and went to check it out, and say hello to some friends who were there. You may see some familiar faces here in the video (links to each of them are below).
