What a whirl-wind of a weekend! Stacy Julian flew in Friday morning and the next thing I knew it was Saturday morning and I was taking her back to the airport!
She is just as genuine in person as she is in her books, on her blog and on audio! What a treat to get to meet, as Delaney would say, "a Scrapbook Rock Star"!!! How else do you explain all that Stacy is to the scrapbook industry. Those who don't scrapbook have no idea who she is and even some that scrapbook still don't know who she is (which is shocking to me but oh well).
She visited with my LOM Group at my house which was so awesome to ask her questions in person about her own LOM system. She brought sample books (remember the "food" one?) as well as a section of her category drawers - so cool!
Then on to dinner with Christine and the other store employees. Where we have officially coined the phrase, "put it in a bubble and blow it away" - thanks Stacy!
Her lecture that evening was phenomenal. It was about so much more than scrapbooking. People left excited, energize and enthusiastic about life (and their scrapbooking). I have never received so many calls and emails from an event at the store. Stacy is a terrific speaker and her message is one that everyone should here.
I for one had an enjoyable two hours alone with her Saturday morning on the way to the airport.
I'm still a little star struck!
don't you just love stacy's laugh she gives after she first tells you to put it in the bubble & blow it away?! she's so contagious!! i got to meet her a couple months ago, and you're so right, she's just as genuine IRL.

Molly, it was truly amazing to have her with our group one on one. Thank you and TM for hosting Stacy Julian. This is an experience I will never forgot.

hey Molly girl..I came across your blog off of Stacy's site! This is really cute!
I'm so jealous you all had a LOM group together. I was totally out of the Big Picture loop until I heard her speak at the store. I was so motivated and moved afterwards. Girl, you did a good thing bringing SJ here to the Conejo Valley.
So now I've read all the books and I'm utterly, and completely overwhelmed. How the hell do I get my scraproom reorganized? I had to do a mini chipboard album the other day for my two y/old's PT going away present and I came unglued trying to find the pics (if I'd already had a category system it would have been a breeze)...trying to sort through all my crap (where IS that blue ink pad??).
ANYWAY, I'm rambling here and sorta dumping on you, but any hints, tips or ideas you can send my way, I'd SO appreciate it.
Well, if you ever get another group going, or want to do some sort of class, I'm totally in. Just had to let you know. (ever thought of that?)
well, you must think I'm crazy, but for some reason, I thought you'd get it.
