2014 Cookie Cutter Collectors' Club Convention

I went last time and had a great time!

Econlady, Is it worth me driving from NY? 

Also, were there a lot of vendors?  Thanks.

I wish I could make it this year but we are dealing with schooling issues with my son and we are celebrating my daughters birthday this coming weekend! have fun and maybe I will see some of you next year!!  

The conventions are every two years.  At the last one we had about 6 vendors, but 5 of them were the tinsmiths who make cookie cutters.  I got to see new cookie cutters before they were available anywhere.  Is it worth it?  the woman are nice and meet new people and buy cookie cutters.  I dont know who will be doing presentations.  I am flying to Pittsburgh from California.  I enjoy the people and the cookie cutters.

My husband says I have to much cutters, I always say they are never enough.  I show the pictures to my husband and he toldme now will, you go to a cutter hunt again?  Yes, I hope security in north mexico will be better and in november to go to a hunt, because last year I went in december and there weren't nothing to hunt related to christmas.   All years I found sales or not sales but a big variety of cutters and pan molds to  buy, but last year I found nothing, nor books, nor pans, nor cutters.  I visited Walmart, Michaels, Target, Heb.

If you love cookie cutters the convention is your place. They have something called a scramble, where people bring extra cookie cutters and sell them.  It is a great way to find obscure cookie cutters.  There are people in the club that have 15,000 to 20,000 cookie cutters.  I only have 1,400 cookie cutters, but they are catalogued and I try to buy ones I will use.

 I would like to go but I can travel right now.   I would like a way to catalog and easy to find cutter I have stored.  I use drawers too and ziploc bags but I always forget what I have.   I sore it for themes like christmas, Halloween, flowers, baby shower.  But it is  not easy.   I want them in paper or digital or something to help me know quickly if I have a cutter.

I had to design and build my own database by categories. I bought a set of drawers at michaels and used a label maker to name the type of cutters. I have 5 sets of drawers.
