This weekend, my friend, Kirsten and I attended a scrapbooking retreat at the Embassy Suites hotel not too far away from home! The last time I did this same thing was right after I finished breastfeeding Brynley at 13 months, so 2 years and definetly something I needed again! Such good therapy!! We share a hotel room, its put on my some Creative Memories consultants and there are about 200 of us here on 2 floors I believe. We have big desks in our rooms to scrapbook the weekend away! Your welcome to do whatever you wish! I did not choose to scrapbook this weekend. With finishing the basement, my stuff is packed in tons of boxes and I just did not have the time to get it all together before it started. That was totally fine with me. I was so far behind on this blog and a few other projects I just can’t seem to get done at home, so it has been the perfect weekend to get caught up so far! I didn’t get here until about 8 last night, so a little of a late start. We stayed up until 1:30 Saturday morning and then slept in until almost 10 Saturday morning!! I can’t tell you how much I needed this and have enjoyed myself so far! Kirsten’s such a great friend, we share so many of the same ideas and think alike and both are moms, so we are totally enjoying ourselves! Wine, gluten free/dairy free snacks (except a few pieces of toffee Kirsten is forcing me to eat, ha! ;-) tv, music, uninterrupted work and sleep, no chores, someone else cooking for us, socializing, you can’t beat that!! They do this 2 times a year, I need to do this more often!! I was able to catch up on my blog and typed 9,000+ words, now that’s a productive weekend! I love that its at the Embassy Suites, its my favorite hotel to stay at! We stayed in one in MI for most our trip. They have a free happy hour in the evenings and a cooked to order breakfast in the morning, plus very clean, roomy rooms, its been perfect! There is a cheese festival and wine/beer tasting here as well this weekend, oh how I’d love to be at that too! Its funny to see people that aren’t here for scrapbooking and they had no idea how huge of a hobby this really is. All this scrapbooking is making me want to pull mine out again, I can’t wait for the basement to be done, so I have a little space to do it, I’ve barely got Bray’s album started. Yikes!
