Last Friday, my bestie,
Sarah, and I went away for the weekend [Friday-Sunday] to a scrapbooking retreat about an hour away. There were about 30 ladies there. I have only been on one other and it was about 6 years ago, so I was very excited [especially have my 2 year scrapbooking hiatus] to get back in the game. After all, I have a baby that is due to arrive in 6 months and I haven't even started Moses' baby album. Did I mention he just turned 2?
I only do a first year album [paper] for my individual kids, and then a once a year album [use to be paper, now it's gonna be digital] for our entire family. That album includes pictures and stories from everyone in our family and all that we did that year. It's just too much work and not enough time for me to make 18 albums for all our current and future children. I mainly use
Creative Memories supplies, but also enjoy the occasional stop by
Archivers.

I'm a slow scrapbooker, but I got about 22 pages done over the course of 2 full days. I did talk, eat, and sleep a lot too. Did I mention I had to choose, print, and organize over 450+ photos in date order first?
I'd say it wasn't uncommon for women in that retreat to get between 50-100 pages done.
Moses' album will end up about 80 pages, here are the first 22.

A new trend among faithful scrabookers is to enroll in a scrapbooking retreat. What a fantastic way to invest time with other scrappers while having fun and obtaining away from everything.

ReplyDeleteNot every place for retreat has an enormous space for their activities. MBC is one of the best christian retreat centers in nebraska that you can go to. With our 40-acre location, our place is great for any indoor and outdoor activities. It is no question that we have a lot of activities that everyone would definitely take pleasure in. We even use the lake for our outdoor activities.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you waiting for? Take a visit to Maranatha Bible Camp now and bring your whole group for a one of a kind retreat that will change the way you look at them.
