Girls Weekend

When we went to Duluth in the spring I saw a scrapbooking store advertised where you could go and scrap with friends for a weekend - a scrapping retreat!  I thought that sounded like fun.  Then I thought rather than travel to northern Minnesota, I'll have it at our house!!

A week ago was the first annual Girls Scrapping Weekend.  One of my bestest friends in the whole world, Linda, came for a scrapping weekend, as well as my daughter Liz.  Both arrived Friday night, well Liz actually arrived right after midnight Saturday morning.  Linda is like a second mom to my kids so it was fun to have the 3 of us together again.

Saturday we got the dining room ready and got all of our supplies out, put up another table to give us plenty of work room...and the scrapping began!

Liz started by making Green Bay Packer dog collar covers - a project she needed to finish up.  Linda worked on pages for her scrapbook, and I worked on greeting cards.  Soon Liz had switched to working on cards too. 

 

It was so much fun to sit, visit, be silly, and share ideas with one another. 

We took breaks just long enough to make a run for some scrapbooking supplies and to get a bite to eat. 

We had another friend, Angie, stop in to say hi and visit for a bit.  Nothing is better than getting friends together in one place. 

It was a relaxing, fun weekend filled with

friendship

giggles

trips down memory lane

lots of catching up

a little wine

and lots of love.

We are already planning to do it again next summer.

I can't wait!
