For the past several years, several scrapbook stores in the Tampa Bay area have hosted an annual Treasure Hunt. I have never participated before, but this year, Connie, Kim and I took on the challenge of visiting 9 stores in 2 days. (You technically have a little over 2 weeks to visit all the stores, but we were trying to tackle them all in one weekend). You have to buy a bag for $10 when you register for the hunt. Our "bags" came will all sorts of goodies worth a lot more than the $10 fee. (6x6 album, 2 sheets of double sided paper, ribbon, chipboard, brads, chipboard album and stickers) The bag also included beads for us to wear (they were pink much to Connie's dismay) and a passport that must get stamped at each store after you make a minimum purchase of $5 (we also received a 10% discount at each store). Once you have visited all the stores, you turn your passport in and you are entered into a drawing w/a grand prize of $900!!! WooHoo!! Here's how our adventure went...
Store #1 was The Stamping Studio in Spring Hill, FL. It was a small store that definitely was more stamp geared than scrapbooking. I found a cuttlebug embossing folder 2 sheets of paper and a skull die cut to meet my minimum purchase requirement. (I was really trying to behave and not overspend on this little adventure).

That's all for now...I have to go get some work done!
