Long time lurker here, but I have been around forever just reading. Just sitting here enjoying a cup of coffee before I finish packing for a crop. I am very excited to go scrap with friends all day, it does not happen enough, about twice in the last 3 years.
I have been on 2 vacations this past year and I have all my pics printed and paper all picked out and organized for each layout. I will not bring much other than that as I will do all journaling, titles, embellishments back at home after the fact. But I am hoping to get a lot glued down today. I will bring my iPad and create titles, etc on cricut design space as I go, but cut later. I have a ton of pics, so I am confident I will have more than enough to do.
Thanks for letting me share my excitement, I know you ladies can appreciate it.

I love to have long periods of time to get a whole lot of pages done. I have a 3 day retreat in 2 weeks and a Fri night/Sat crop next week.
Be sure to let us know how it goes!

Have fun! I understand your excitement. I usually do 1 weekend crop a year with a friend and I love it. We always have a blast. I have recently changed my work schedule and I hope to be able to squeeze in another one during the year. There is nothing like having time set aside for nothing but scrapping. We may also squeeze in some wine drinking and shopping.  |

It sounds like you're ready for lots of fun and scrapping.
My friends and I (eleven total) used to get together once or twice per year for a Thursday - Sunday scrappy weekend at a beach house. Everyone just got so busy it was hard to coordinate. I sure miss those weekends. Now I get together once every few months with one or two friends and make cards for the day.

I'm so jealous! Normally when my DH goes off hunting I try to have some friends come over to scrap here for a weekend, kind of like a little mini-retreat. But things have been so busy with DD's school, volunteering, Halloween, participating in a craft supply garage sale, etc. that the whole house is in shambles! Plus DD and I have both been sniffling and coughing for the last week so neither one of us is very motivated to do much of anything.
