Alright, so first I have to say; I never thought I would be so tired from a scrapbooking weekend. It was all relaxation, scrapping, massages, food, and fun girl talk! LOL. One big pajama party, but an exhausting one at that. I came home and actually had to take a nap!
I had such a blast this weekend. I did a lot of creating and actually learned a lot about myself as a scrapbooker. I realized that not only am I an organized scrapbooker but I scrapbook as a therapeutic outlet. I enjoy the soft, soothing music on my iPod- it inspires me to let my inner self come out on my pages.
I got to the hotel (which was beautiful and luxurious!) at around 4 p.m. on Friday. I created my menu for the meals we were given (that was the best, we got to order what we wanted. All from great places, one of my favorites being Panera Bread Company.) Then, I signed up for my massage for Saturday. Once I got situated I started scrapping (getting used to my new creative space for a few days). It was so great to see everyone having such a great time.
Each day we were given little surprises. When we arrived, they had a packet with our name (it contained all the information we needed for the weekend, i.e. the itinerary) There was also a goodie bag awaiting us, which had a beautiful insulated mug (mine is pink!), chapstick, popcorn, Certs, and gum. It was perfect. Saturday's gift was a little photo organizer box, it is darling. Sunday we were given a hand-made thank you card complete with a note to each of us AND a bunch of stickers. The whole thing was so well organized and thoughtful!
I am a little sad that it is over, but I am happy to be back with my hubby! He got back from the Jeep Jamboree at around 6. We both had fun weekends to share stories about, his being a bit more adventurous then mine!
Here is what I accomplished!
This is my sketch book that I have been wanting to alter for a LONG time! I tend to sketch out my scrapbook Layouts so I wanted my book to be a creative piece to hold all of my ideas too! It has a section for LO sketches, journaling, and quotes. It also has pockets in case I need to slip pieces of inspiration inside!
"Perfect Family"
(One more LO to come, I have to finish the journaling and then I will post that too!) TFL!
