I'm using it up by sharing it with friends! Check out this challenge!

I managed to clean out some papers and other things to take over to our neighborhood scrapbook store.  They are having a "garage sale" there this saturday and whatever I sell, I get a store credit. So in reality I'm exchanging old stuff for new stuff.  Which is totally more fun to play with.

Some Pics from the Retreat & Some of My Pages

60 PAGES DONE! YAHOO!

I'm back! I had a wonderful time scrapbooking and just hanging out with all my friends. I finished about 60 pages, 8-1/2 x 11, 5 x 7 and 12 x 12. I think that I definately brought too much. I was feeling overwhelmed at times because of all I brought. Next year I am going to be more focused on what I plan to do and try to bring only what I need. I'm putting this down in writing so that when the time comes to pack up next year, I'll read this and remember. I still had a great time making some really fun pages, and hanging out with my friends. I also love going around and seeing what everyone else is doing. All the ladies are very talented in putting pages together, and they inspire me. I love it!!

SCRAPBOOK RETREAT TIME!!

Hey Everybody,

Tomorrow is the day we leave for our scrapbooking retreat.  There are 10 ladies including myself meeting at a nice hotel about 3 hours away.  This is the third year of our retreat.  We plan it around Columbus Day weekend each year.  With 4 suites rented we got a large conference room for free.  Can't wait, I'm very excited to be creative with no interruptions for 4 days, yahoo!!!!  No cooking, cleaning or laundry for 4 days!!

Now, what do I pack?  The hard part is to remember clothes, and food.
