We have a group down at the church and we get together once a month in the Fellowship Hall to scrapbook. It's very casual, some come for a couple of hours, some stay 3 or 4. Whoever wants to leaves their stuff there and comes back on Saturday morning. Some wear pj's on Friday night. We listen to music and gab, some are making scrapbooks, some are making cards, we ask for advice on our projects, and just have a laid back, good time. Oh, and we eat! Some bring homemade goodies, some shop at the store, and some bring nothing (me), but we ALL eat. I usually run late from working all day, that's why I don't bring anything, but that's okay.
Last night was our night, we all look forward to it. We had a great time and went back this morning and cropped a while, cleaned up, hauled everything back home, until next month. I try to plan my layouts in advance, so I don't bring too much and bring the right stuff. And once a year, in the spring, we go on a weekend scrapbook retreat. The last two years we have stayed at the Snowbird Retreat on Smith Lake in Crane Hill, Alabama. A beautiful house, 3 levels, decks overlooking the lake, and a hot tub. The proprietor comes in and cooks our 3 meals a day, cleans up, and all we have to do is crop, sleep and eat! It is a perfect way to spend a weekend, as we did in April.
