A couple of weekends ago, I got to attend a scrapbooking retreat with a bunch of friends. I really enjoy scrapbooking but I hardly ever get around to it because it takes so long to even get all of my stuff out, let alone to sprout an idea for a lay-out. One of these days I'll probably have to switch over to digital, but for now, I'm still doing the old-fashioned "by-hand" method. I went up to a little conference center called Glorietta just north of Santa Fe. They gave us a room to sleep in, all our meals for the days we're there, and a scrapbooking room where each of us gets our own table. It's perfect. We bought up all our scrap crap (Brian will appreciate that term) and left it all out until it was time to go home. We stayed for two and half days and scrapped, talked and shared ideas and supplies to our hearts' content. I came home with ten two-page layouts! Yahoo! I think I have the best husband ever. Thanks Arthur for holding down the fort while I got some creative outlet time. You are AWESOME!!!
Above is one I actually did before I left. So this is all the scrapbooking I've done year to date. One layout in the first three months, and ten up at Glorietta in under three days. The following pics are not as clear because I'd already put them in their sheet protectors and was too lazy to get them out again. But you get the gist.
This one will look better when I get that left picture enlarged.
