I had such a great time at Bouchercon and visiting San Francisco in general. My dear friend Camille Minichino was in charge of the craft rooms at Bouchercon, and she just did a bang up job.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Bouchercon, it’s the conference named for Anthony Boucher, and it’s the largest mystery conference in the world. The setting rotates from town to town, and since I’d never been to San Francisco, I was happy to have a great excuse to visit.
Another friend, the adorable Angela Daniels from Fiskars, presented two crafts at the conference. Gosh, Fiskars was so incredibly generous! They sent along scissors, tape runners, supplies and bright orange bags.
Angela’s first project was covering a composition notebook. I took photos of the results. I’m always amazed at how given the same materials, people put their own creative spin on projects. Aren’ t these wonderful?
Her second craft was to make a “secret safe” out of a paperback book. I wasn’t able to hang around for all of that because the date coincided with my 28th wedding anniversary, and I wanted to have dinner with my husband.
But I must admit, I’m eager to try that project now. Everyone can use a good safe!
