I'm the same way, I usually don't scrap for awhile after a good retreat!! Usually because my brain is tired.. lol I always try to extend my retreat days to arrive on Thursday evening.. so I feel like I can get more done. I have only come across one time I couldn't arrive early.. I always feel coming in on Friday is just a tad not long enough! But if I start Thursday, it's perfect. Most of our group does it this way, too. I leave work at noon. If I am there by 4, I am unpacked and ready to go by 5. It feels like gaining a whole day. Exactly!! I usually take the whole day off and my girlfriend and I head out in the morning (typically it was a 2 hour drive, depending on the location, but always in the mountains). We would stop for breakfast, maybe stop at a LSS (if there was one) and then get to the house. We were always the first ones there and ready to go by early evening. I had some friends who wouldn't come up till Saturday mornings.. I call them NUTS.. hahaha. My other girlfriend who is on this board (Serial killer are you reading this?) she generally headed out kinda early on Fridays I think..  |

thanks, guys- it's nice to know I'm not the only one who deals with this issue. I was dead-tired for the first couple days of this work-week; I was practically falling asleep at my desk at work a couple times! I think I'm going to take a good part of Sunday afternoon to re-group in my craft room, straighten and organize, and see what's what. I was thinking about doing part of the Memorial Day weekend crop (12-hrs each day) at the SB store, but maybe it would be better NOT to do that after all, and just refresh somewhat, figure out what I've got going on, and what I want to work on.
One thing I HAVE realized is that I really don't keep many printed photos on hand, and the ones that I DO have, aren't organized very well. I'm good at making the page kits, but then I don't have any photos printed to put on them. So I think I need to split my time better between 'actual scrapping' and 'preparation for scrapping.' (In addition to the ever-present issue of cleaning up my scrap space, of course...)

Am I the only one who feels like this after a creative weekend or a creative episode in general? Sort of let down, disappointed, depressed / sad? Yes! My scrap space is used for other purposes Monday-Friday. I'm sad I have to put everything back on Monday. Going to crops though? The idea of one kind of gives me anxiety. The page planning, packing, going somewhere new, feeling the need to converse with other people.... I've gone to classes in the last 3 years and met with people that I have things in common with and it wasn't so bad, so I'm more open to the idea.  |
