What happens at camp . . .


I know that many (most?) of you don't live anywhere near Club Scrap (in Wisconsin), but I've just gotta give you a glimpse of our fun scrapbooking weekend at Silver Birch Ranch!

It's beautiful "up there".

Kay, Rita and I piled into our vehicles and drove just 90 minutes north to camp on Thursday afternoon. We packed our flashlights and sleeping bags, casual clothes and a few snacks. Unlike the vast details of our own Club Scrap retreats, we had just three things on our minds:

1. Setting up a small on-site "Pro Shop."

2. Teaching a total of seven workshops. (Two workshops to three different groups, and one workshop with everyone.)

3. Getting our own scrapbooking projects completed.

There were eighty fabulous ladies in attendance, and the entire weekend was a blast!

I think I finished almost 100 pages while I was there. Kay made a few prototypes for future Club Stamp projects, and Rita completed quite a few of her 700-plus ALSB layouts awaiting photos. (Yep, you read that right. 700. Just sayin'.)

For workshops, we completed the Passport to Fun mini book . . .

Jac's awesome "Letters on the Wall" project . . .

And an 8-page ALSB sampler . . .




Plus, there was an awesome group of excellent staff and volunteers that did all of the cooking, baking and dishes for the entire weekend! Hallelujah! Gotta love that.

So, if you're in our neck of the woods, think about coming up to the ranch for their stamping retreat on March 21-24 or mark your calendar for November, 2013! It's a blastie blast! Oh, don't forget to bring your golashes. Red polka-dotted golashes, if you have them.

Retreatingly yours,
Tricia
