Hmmm...

I'm thinking seriously of attending a weekend scrapbooking retreat.

This is "serious biz," as I've not really scrapbooked since we've lived in this house (that's over two years now). I don't even know where to BEGIN to find all the things that I would need for the projects I would want to take/work on... because I can't even remember what I was last working on!

I am going to email her and ask if I could do it for just one day since I don't want to be away from John for the whole weekend (and I don't think Shane would go for it).

REALLY?! OMG! *bounces*

That would be awesomesauce! I didn't want to ask, because I knew that you couldn't be baby-less for so long, but even in considering it, I was already sad that you wouldn't be there.

(That was a long, awkwardly-worded sentence.)

I could barely get through that sentence ;)

*points to your icon* there's a lot of stuff that hasn't happened lately.

I emailed to try to get an email contact for the other consultant. I'd really like to tackle some of these pictures. I ordered 800 pictures from Shutterfly a few weeks ago. That was only from Catherine's birthday until now. And I forgot to order from the pictures that you and Heidi took of the party :/

Do it! I find scrapbooking to be one of the most revitalizing and therapeutic things I can do for myself, and I always feel accomplished after I put a page together!

Don't worry about where you left off. Pick some pictures you'd like to work on and start there. :) Do what you feel, and you will have a fantastic time!

(And then post pictures of what you did so we can all see!)

*HUGS*

And to think... I used to actively post pictures of my pages...

YEARS ago. Ahhh, memories! ;-)

I say go for it! Don't worry about where you left off - start fresh. If you can't find all your tools, etc, then just take what you can put together easily. I've gotten some of my best scrapping done when I have a limited arsenal to work with. Besides, I'm sure there'll be ladies there willing to lend you some of their stuff!

Ooooooo.....so jealous. Would love to do one of those. Someday.

What a coincidence, I am having a weekend scrapbooking retreat at my house, on...uh...when did you want to scrapbook? That's when I'm having it. :D

GO GO GO!!!!! I can't begin to tell you how incredibly awesome it was to go for an entire weekend! As for projects.... pick something current and fun - say a bunch of pages of the boys.

I had two very specific projects to work on at my retreat last weekend - my FIL's birthday album (the pics had been printed for a YEAR) and then starting Creighton's CREW album. I was beyond thrilled to get 57 pages complete!!! I almost wish I'd had everything ready to start his senior album which will be an overview of his first 18 years.

*needs another retreat*
