Scrapbook Heaven

By Scott Cousins

Some people come to the annual scrapbooking convention at Collinsville's Gateway Center because they love it, or are addicted.

But for some, like Rob Rose, of St. Charles, Mo., it's payback.

"I came here with my wife, Paula," he said while standing in line at one of the show's booths Saturday. "I'm tolerating it.

"She has to go with me to Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop; it's payback," he said.

Unlike the fishing, tool or gun shows at the center, the CKC-St. Louis Scrapbook Convention draws mostly women who come to take classes, learn new techniques and shop during the event, which ran from Thursday to Saturday.
