I spent an incredible weekend with incredible people! Have you ever had one of those weekends where you loved every minute of what you were doing and who you were doing it with???
This was my annual get away scrapbooking retreat with my friends and this time, my family too! We were in Mystic, CT at the beautiful Marriott for 3 days of scrapbooking. As always there was delicious food, lots of vendors, loads of time to be creative, goody prizes and more. Since it was the end of school vacation, my husband and the girls came down for a night along with another family and we had a nice dinner out. The kids used the indoor pool and watched some movies in the room.

I was working on my California  album from a San Diego/Anaheim vacation we took in 2010. I love reliving the vacation through my photos…probably 500 of them or more. I completed 30 pages while I was there which is about standard for me at one of these crops.

This was a Croptopia Getaways retreat and the woman who runs it is fantastic. Susan is friendly, helpful and always ensures that we are having a super time! Susan gives back at each retreat by having a basket raffle with proceeds going to a local charity. The chocolate basket photo is of the basket my group of friends put together. I’ll be podcasting on this soon experience soon.

Right now I’m headed to Joann’s and AC Moore. I need some border fabric for the landscape quilt. Here are some photos from the weekend that one of the gals at the retreat took. The first one is of my friend, Heather (on the left), and myself. Don’t we look like sisters? LOL.
Have a great day!
