Creating Keepsakes

Someone should be at the front door directing people where to go to check in. We asked a couple of people on staff and they had no idea. Told us to stand in line. After standing in a long line we were told we didn't have to do that but that we could have gone to the table down the hall and picked up our bags and tickets. Very unorganized. Bags were handed out and not one person gave directions. Two wrist bands were offered so we put on the early bird one and checked our bags to find out that we needed BOTH on. Had to go get our bags and the other band. Thankfully we are not new to conventions / Expos and figured all of this out but a new person would have been lost and frustrated at this. I was very disappointed. Also, MOST of the vendors were very weak and selling mostly old stuff to unload for regular pricing. Only a couple of current relevant vendors. Try better outreach for larger vendors. Also, a few of the booths weren't even set up yet due to not receiving their pro

Shopping closes while classes are still in progress and early bird sales close during the first classes of the day on both days prohibiting those in class from participating. Everything else was super.

This conference is shrinking each year. The vendors are also declining. Possibly 10times can improve the marketing of this site for next year ? We only heard about it by word of mouth ... where is the marketing money being spent ? Possibly reconsider where budget is applied and focus on increasing attendance ?

Technique class on Thursday night was terrible. Four vendors, only 2 were worth it. All that money for what? Horrible elevator situation. Treasure Box was a good class as was Debbie Lucas Meeting Minnie and Mickey. Petticoat Parlour Cruise and travel classes were good. Need more inexpensive food venders.

I only took 1 class with Kim from Keller's Creations, but it was the best class I ever took! I will take any class offered by Kim next year!

I was disappointed as it seemed it was all about scrap booking, and not card making, plus I was a disappointed in the Creative Bee classes, did not teach you anything, it was all about there products, which did not cut the job

Would help if the vendors were fully stocked like they are early in the year. Several told us they were low on stock due to other shows they were at.

I was amazed on how much scrap booking is alive. Makes me want to get my act together and start doing this again

This was my first visit and I will definitely be back. Well organized, great selection of vendors. Loved it!

I love it but I also realize that the price s were much higher there then any plac else much higher..
