met the queen...

of papercrafts, that is!!! here's the story...

so we met up with traci and mary yesterday. it was great meeting mary and seeing traci again. we went to go tour the ck media offices that chelsea went to a few months (has it been that long???) ago. i didn't have many expectations other than maybe getting a free magazine or something. well they were totally blown out of the water!!!

we all walked up to the door of the ck media offices and who opens the front door and greets us? non other than lisa bearnson! yes, the queen of paper crafting and founder of creating keepsakes. she welcomed us in and we took pictures. she was so friendly and excited that we were there to go on a tour. also in the lobby was stacy croninger, the editor in chief of paper crafts magazine. we got pictures with her too. then we took a tour of the offices and we were introduced to almost every person that worked there. it was cool. we got a stack of all the new issues of papercrafts, simple scrapbooks, creating keepsakes and more. we also got to pick a few books. and we got two books that lisa autographed and one that stacy autographed. it was so fun! i heard an interview once with lisa and she said, "it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." and i think she lives by this.
