Jill Yegerlehner

Jill is the owner and founder (or the "Big Bean") of Jillibean Soup. Jillibean Soup was started as a concept in the fall of 2007 and Jill launched their first products in September of 2008. Jill is proud to say that you can find Jillibean Soup product in 44 states as well as 21 different countries.

Jill got started paper crafting in 1999 when her family gave her a gift of scrapbooking products for a wedding gift. She wasn't too keen on getting started but once she did, she was hooked. She turned her love and passion into her full time job and loves designing new products for this industry. She is excited to have her first layout being published in Scrapbook Trends this fall!

Jill resides in Dublin, Ohio with her husband Eric and three girls Leah (6), Kami (3) and Brooke (2).

Below are some photos of what Jill will be teaching on Sunday, November 8th.



The above is a 12x12 layout which would look great on an easel at Christmas time to display your favorite Christmas cards or the photos that you receive in cards! After Christmas, place your favorite Christmas photos in the envelopes and display in an album.

In addition to the 12x12 layout for Jill's class, you will receive all the product to make 2 oversized ornaments, or 2 Christmas cards. It's your choice! Or you could make one card and one ornament. These oversized ornaments would look great hanging on garland! They are super cute!

The cost to take Jill's class is $22.00. The class is Sunday, November 8th at 10a.
Please bring your basic tool kit to class: adhesive, scissors, trimmer and brown ink pad.

CREATIVE JOURNEY 2009

This is looking into the back of the hotel. It is just a short walk to the dining room from the hotel and conference room.

This is the dessert bar that is available after lunch and dinner! Notice there is no shortage of awesome desserts!

Part of the buffet. You will always have a choice of chicken, beef, pasta, salads, soups, sides, and desserts. And there is always a chef on hand making something fresh. The day Amy and I ate lunch there they were making crab cakes! Yum! So basically, you will always have a huge variety that would satisfy any picky eater!
More of the buffet!

This is the living room in the double suite.

Pillowtop beds that we hear are quite comfortable.


This is what you'll find outside your cropping room! Always a beverage and snack available for your convenience.

These are the tables you will be cropping at. But just imagine them with only one chair per table. That's right, each cropper will get a 5' table to themselves. And just look at those comfy chairs!


Get your groups together and sign up soon! Call the store at 614-854-0709 for additional information or to sign up.
