March Retreat

So...now that the next retreat is almost here, I guess I really should get the photos up from the last one :)

Mary (in grey) and Deanne (furthest on the right) were our awesome caterers. We definitely eat well at the retreats. Lot's of amazing yummy meals!
The first night of the retreat happened to fall on St. Patricks day. These ladies came prepared for the occasion!
This was the welcome gift that everyone received when they first got to the lodge. The albums were so pretty with the white stitched flowers. We are so excited about the gift we are giving at our November retreat, everyone will LOVE it!
One nice thing about the lodge is that there is plenty of room to bring ALL YOUR STUFF and spread out.
Part of our mini store that Heartfelt Creations provides for our guests in case they forget something they need!
Our bottomless snack table. Tons of yummy goodies to take back to your table when you are in need of chocolate or other snacks.
Our attempt at a shamrock, after all, it was St. Patty's Day!
One of our fearless leaders, Lindsey, all ready to clean up after an awesome three days of scrapbooking!

Thanks ladies for making March's retreat so much fun, we always have a great time. We love being able to see all of our old friends each time and meeting so many new ones too! We are really looking forward to November's retreat. See you soon!

March 2010 Layouts

Mini book

Hey Ladies! We are super busy getting ready for the next retreat in March and are so excited! I just have a quick question for those of you coming. At the last retreat we talked about how fun it would be to do a recipe book for the mini album this next time. I just wanted to get a rough estimate of how many of you are interested in doing this album so that I can start getting packets put together. I want this to be a really neat project so I am trying to get it put together with lots of time in advance. If you think you are interested in doing this book, please email me and let me know, you don't have to commit yet, just let me know if you think you might want to do this project. Thanks! I am looking forward to seeing you all!

We are so excited to head up to Hidden Springs Ranch and have another fun filled weekend!

Here are some pictures from November's retreat, we had an awesome group of ladies and had so much fun scrapbooking, laughing, watching movies, and eating incredible food thanks to our caterers! We counted up all the layouts done over the weekend and found that there were over 400 layouts completed in three days, incredible!! So if you are worried that you won't get much done at a retreat, you can see that that isn't the case!

This little guy (actually he was huge!) decided to join us at the retreat the last night we were there. He tried to get into the lodge several times and even tried to join a group of us out in the hot tub!

Sunrise at the lodge, it is so beautiful there!

This group of ladies had a cute custom made scrapbooking shirt for every day at the lodge. Malinda Andrews designed them and they were so cute! You can check out her awesome stuff at her etsy shop, Malinda's Designs.

This shirt said "I run with decorative scissors"

Our awesome caterers, Mary McKee and Deanne Hanson. Everything was delicious, and it was so nice to have someone else cook and clean up!
