Puerto Rico was ah-maze-ing. Collin and I arrived a couple days before the event to hang out at the beach, eat yummy food and basically just relax. It was kinda tricky to switch gears from our regular routine of go-go-go... but definitely worth it. We missed our little munchkins so much but they were having fun with Auntie Charity, Auntie Mimi, Yaya, and Gigi. Thanks a million for taking care of them!
With out further ado... meet my friend Yamille:
Yamille is the owner of the Memory Box store and ran the Puerto Rico scrapbook event I taught at. I met her a couple years ago at CHA and was thrilled when she asked if I would teach at her first event. We've been emailing and chatting on the phone but I didn't know how spunky and fun this girl was... she makes the Energizer bunny tired. I've never laughed so hard than when she jumped on one of the tables while singing karaoke at the crop! :) She put so much heart into this event and helped unite scrapbookers all over their little island to make one big family. Thanks for everything Yamille!
More photos of the event... Collin & Camille were my TAs. Loved the students' enthusiasm & meeting bloggies! Thanks for the sweet gifts & laughs. It was a blast. Where will you find scrapbookers dancing to macarena when they win a Silhouette?
... only in Puerto Rico!Where will you find scrapbookers lip syncing Ricky Martin when their name is drawn for a prize?
... only in Puerto Rico! Can't wait until next year.
Next stop on the event express is::: CKU Provo

Hi my name is Barbara and I had a lot of fun on Saturday. I went with my two daughters and they had a lot of fun too. Yamille is full of energy i really don't know how she can do it. She always helps us in the store and in her classes. I am very proud of her because she put our PR very up. We are small island but huge in energy and good people. Hope you had the same fun and great memories as we.
Regards,
Barbara Ortiz

I love Puerto Ricans! Of course I'm biased since my cute son is PR. Glad you had a great time with them. Ok, so could you do us a huge favor and PLEASE PLEASE tell us ONE MORE TIME where you get your incredible flower headbands? I believe you said it was an Etsy site, but I can't remember. You look darling, as always!

Elizabeth, for me it was a pleasure to meet you and Collin. You are an excellent couple. Thanks for all your techniques and your knowledge, you are a wonderful teacher. God bless your family. Thanks for everything!!! See U next year. :) ONLY IN Puerto Rico Enjoy your family trip to Hawaii.
Hi Elizabeth, I wanted to thank you and Collin for the wonderful time we had on Saturday only in Puerto Rico. My lord, Collin was competing with Yamille. He also carries the energizers with him. He was extremely helpful during the event. You two make an awesome team. Thank you for your tips, ideas, and creativity. If I were to use adjectives to describe the event, I would say it was extraordinary, excellent, magnificent, phenomenal, incredible, singular, and fabulous just to mention some. The truth is Yamille and Juanca are something else. Let's see what they have for us next year. Whatever it is I hope they include you. Take care.
HI ELIZABETH, MY NAME IS ENID, I WANT TO THANKS YOU FOR ALL THIS BEATUFUL LO'S YOU DID FOR US, WE REALLY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME WITH YOU AND COLLIN, WE HOPE SEE YOU SOON HERE IN PUERTO RICO, AS YOU SAID YAMILET AND JUANCA ARE SO SPECIAL TO ALL OF US, ONE MORE TIME THANKS, FOR EVERYTHING.
I really had a blast during the event, specially the class on saturday, the new techniques you taught us I hope to use them again soon :) You are a really sweet gal, and your husband is as helpful as one can be.
Hope to see you again and share more memories.

Thanks for coming over.. and thanks to Yamillet too! I loved your class and learned a lot from your techniques; (fresh and cool ideas on how to scrap my memories!). I look forward to the monthly scrapnight with my girlfriends to put into use all I have learned. Hope to see you & Collins next year. Ah... keep being yourself!
I am very happy for all, and thank you Elizabeth and thank you Yamille...
Hi, I have 10 years doing Scrapbook, and I have my room of Scrapbook. I buy my first album in the store Michael´s in Carolina, but sometimes I have not ideas to continue doing. But after Saturday I was able to draw further strength and willingness to continue and I am very happy about that. I have a facebook group is called the Adictos al Scrapbook, that all you want to be, this welcome. Elizabeth I congratulate you for visiting and have a super husband who supports you in what you like and that is very good. Yamillet Like you, I am glad that you can make this great event. I am not going to your store because i am from Carolina but if you need my help for the next event you know you have my support for what you want. My email is gloriglow77@hotmail.es. Thanks and thanks Yamillet Ely
Elizabeth and Collin
Thank you for the wonderful time and for being so sweet teaching us the classes. I'm really impressed with the scrapbooking knowledge of Collin. He is a value asset! Next time you need more time for enjoying the beautiful places that PR has to offer. See you soon.
Hi Liz & Collin
Me & my friends Lucy, Kim P. & Kim H. had a wonderful time at the Scrapbook Event in PR. I was very excited about it when I heard about it a few months back. The whole Event was absolutely WOW, more WOW than what I thought ; I felt like a kid on Christmas morn !!!Everything was so much fun specially the Crop Party. I was "singing" with Collin
that Queen song.(He also surprised us with his Spanish singing).
We attended your class on Sunday & WOW(again!),it was very nice to
follow along your fantastic seminar sharing your art & tricks!!! Thanks to Yamille & Juanca from Memory Box for having you guys & having such a THRILLING experience. Can't wait to see you again.
Lots of love
Nannette
Hi Elizabeth,
I really had a remarkable experience at the Scrapbook Event. Like you said, Yamille put so much of heart into it, and the results were more than great.
I admire you so much. Since you were elected scrapbooker of the year I had follow your blog, and I think your work is amazing. You and Collin make a perfect match. God bless you, and your familiy.
Hope you can fill the (PR-Butterfly) mini-album with sweet memories.
Love,
Gloribel
