Nothing like a scrap retreat to jump start the mojo and to refresh the mind. This year's retreat was at the Issiah Tubbs restort on West Lake. I am not usually concerned with the sleeping arrangements since I am usually only concerned with the crop space; but, this years accommodations were the nicest of all the retreats that I have been at so far. You have to understand that the first one that I went to was at a children's summer camp. The cabins were unheated. The beds were bunk beds with thin mattresses. The washrooms were in a separate building and I was okay with that because the crop space was fabulous.
This place was certainly a step up...actually many steps up. Carmen and I were in one of the refinished rooms with new queen size beds. This was the first place that had a flat screen TV in the room. The crop space was excellent. We, each, had a huge table all to ourselves. The price was excellent as well.

The place was picturesque. It rained most of Saturday which kept us indoors but both Friday and Sunday were perfect for getting out and for traveling. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. You didn't feel guilty spending your time inside crafting.
I managed to get 4 layouts completed and I have ideas for 2 more. I will share them over the next few days. Here is the first layout that I completed. I just had to scrap some of the photos from the Granby Zoo.
Graphic45's Bird Song was the perfect paper to use for this layout.
This weekend went by so quickly. It was nice to see Michelle again and to spend time with Carmen. I can't believe that it will be another year before the next one.
Have a good Monday.
