Creative Memories with Mary Jo and Laura

Wow what a fun weekend we had on September 25-28 with Mary Jo and Laura. These ladies scrapped the entire time and Mary Jo and Laura showcased great projects from Creative Memories. They also gave away some great prizes. There was even a little bit of trading going on!!!
These ladies chose Halloween and Mexican fiesta as their theme choices. They really knew how to liven up the party when the games were played! I wonder if anyone can tell me what the capital of Mexico is?? I loved seeing Mary Jo run around the sombrero whenever the word "trash" was said. Or the fact that someone who didn't drink repeatedly asked for a margarita!!
Thanks again ladies for a great weekend!! Check out all the great photos on the shutterfly site!

Mini Album Weekend

What a great weekend we had working on mini albums with the ladies of EMI. It was a rainy weekend, but all the ladies worked hard on the 5 mini albums. Michelle and Genia did a great job teaching the classes and everyone learned so many new techniques.

Saturday night, we had so much fun celebrating the 80's and watching the classics (80s films that is). Marsha and Darlene did some dancing of their own and Laura and Krystal tried to reenact a famous lift and failed miserably. And don't forget Lori and Vanessa's hilarity, Donna's handmade creations, or Megan's determination to turn Misty into a scrapbooker (she succeeded)!!

Ladies, we loved having you guys with us last weekend and we hope that you all return for another great Scraphappy Retreat!! Check out all the great pictures on the shutterfly site!

Another Scraphappy Weekend

What a great time we had the weekend of July 10-12 with Deb Heimler and her friends. I don't know that we've ever had a group that was quite so enthusiastic about the themes. Their 80's night was one that will be hard to top. Someone wore their sunglasses at night, one person wore a coat similar to a Karma Chameleon singer, and someone spent all day making sure that their hair was as high as possible. But we are not naming names. Laura tried to stump everyone with her impossible to answer trivia questions!! Below are a few pictures from the weekend. To see all the pictures of these fabulous girls visit the photo section of the site.

Our special thanks to Deb, Wendy, Monica, Johna, Aimee, and Jamie for just being willing to have a great time no matter what and for making us laugh more than we ever thought possible. We will be sore for days!

Mommy Weekend- July 31-August 2

Calling all mommies!!! If you are like us, you have a ton of photos of your new bundle of joy. Sadly, you are too busy changing diapers, feeding, staying up all night to scrapbook your sweet baby. Normal scrapbook weekends are not right for you either because you can't leave your baby for a second!!! Now you can do both in a great weekend. Bring your baby for a great weekend of scrapping and mommy/baby time. That's right bring your baby so that you can do all the regular mommy stuff of changing, feeding, bonding with baby and scrap at the same time. While you scrap, your baby will be cared for by volunteers. Yet, you will still be available for all the normal bonding opportunities for mommy and baby!! If you are interested in having a great scrapbook with your baby visit our shutterfly site to register. You can contact us for more information or any questions.
