Now for all of you who don't know what I'm talking about, let me explain! After annoying my husband trying to figure out what to do for ScrapFest 2007, he finally said just invite that famous scrapbooker you met at the airport to make an appearance at your party. I laughed, but after a little thought, decided maybe he had a good idea! So after writing and re-writing an email that I hoped she'd even read...then waiting 2 days to just press send (it felt awkward), Becky Higgins replied. After a few emails back and forth, she graciously invited the girls and I over to scrapbook. Can I just tell you, keeping that secret from my girlfriends was really hard! They all suspected, but weren't quite sure. We all met at Gecko Grill for a yummy dinner and I swear everyone was so nervous. Did anyone actually eat their dinner?!
As the plates were being cleared, I presented each girl with a gift bag.
In the bag was Becky's new Sketches book (if you don't have it, GET IT), and a little rhyme that said:
"We're going to Peoria, for book signing and more. Becky Higgins wants to scrap with us, need I say more?!"
After being a little too loud, we quickly paid and got the suburban all packed up (thanks Pam for letting me borrow it). We made the long trip (no joke it's totally on the other side of the valley...in the middle of nowhere) to Becky's.
After a few funny mishaps as we pulled up, Becky greeted us at the door, and introduced us to a few of her friends.
We all got right to work busting out some adorable pages! Becky shared a few ideas with us and the organizer in me was just screaming to pick her brain about a few things! The time went all too quickly, but every minute was worth it! Here are a bunch of pictures!
As we were packing up, Becky so generously gave each of us a rub on saying for our walls, and she let us take from her freebie boxes! Thank you, thank you Becky, the entire night was AMAZING!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! When are you coming back to Utah?
Holy cow!! So jealous!! I didn't even know that she lived here in AZ. How fun for you!! Glad you had a blast!! :o)
Wow, how fun is that? Seriously, so freakin' fun.
I've said it before & I'll say it again: Becky Higgins is one of my most favorite scrappers. Her style is like completely timeless, clean, and to me, what scrapbooking is all about: preserving memories. The original sketches lives on as my favorite idea book to exist.
Great seein' ya in the store! You are so cute!
Whoo hoo!! It was amazing!! Thanks again for the surprise lovely lady!!!
