looking forward to...

guess where i am going...
i will be going somewhere this weekend where yoga pants are a requirement,
tho there will be no yoga.
i will give you another hint; a place where 8 women bring armfulls of crap, ahem crafts.
we will be punching, cutting, and slicing.
give up?

i am going to a scrapbook retreat!

guess what i am looking forward to?

time with good friends
laughing so hard i can't breath

inspiration
praying together
seeing their children grow through photos
lots of rest and relaxation

oh, yea, and we will be um, scrapbooking ;)

also looking forward to...

no laundry

no dishes

no cooking (except one meal) for four days

no exploding diapers to change

no bickering tweenagers

did i say no laundry?
no screaming, fit throwing toddler

kinda makes me sad... a little,

but mama needs a break.

it really is good for the whole family!

CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!

here's my pinterest scrapbook inspiration board 

i printed out and am bringing with me: (+ a stack of scrap mags!)

i just never know what i'm going to need 

so i have packed enough supplies to create 100 albums (oh dear)

but i will only be doing the second half of '07. i hope to finish it. 4 days should be enough. 

i have been scrapbooking now for almost 12 years! since my oldest was six months old :)

this is my 7th scrapbooking trip. i guess you can say i love it. hmm, let me see paper? yep, love it. photography? yep, that too. and design... well, there you go i guess it adds up to a scrappy love affair. luckily i have accomplices who are addicted as i am 

and we have inadvertently created quite lovely friendships. sigh.

i will have lots of photos from my trip to share with you next week!

xoxo,
