The Sweet Retreat was SWEEETT!

Well, what can I say?? I great time was had by all! This weekend, the MAGS decended on The Sweet Retreat which was put on by Scrapbooks Invitations, & More!



It was so much fun hanging out with Laura and the MAGS laughing and cutting up!



We cropped, shopped, and giggled a lot! We even won prizes! Janell and Cindy both won drawings and I won the mini book contest! I was so proud of my little book! (blush).





We also hit one of our favorite shops, Matte Magic for their NSD sale. Wow, Ms. Rose hooked us up! 50% of for the first hour! I spent waaaaayyyy too much and our new Archivers isn't even open yet! Yikes!



However, the best fun of the weekend was Janell discovering that she had forgotten her suitcase! She had every scrapbooking supply known to man in her scrapbag, but no clothes! Oh did we tease her! Luckily her super sweet hubbie drove over and brought her the suitcase!



Now it is time for big naps and catching up on silly stuff like housework,... yuck!

Can you believe tomorrow is the day! Everything begins bright and early in the morning! Time for that last minute freak-out packing. Remember, we only have one room and we are only going to be there 2 days, so no need to bring everything you own! You should see us slepping all our bags and items to show everyone each time we get together.... I only have 2 words... Luggage Cart.

Today the top 10 comes to an end....

Top Ten Things That Will Make the Sweet Retreat SWWEEEETTT:

#1: Finished Goods.

Yes, there isn't much better than walking away from a weekend full of scrapping with finished projects. In our everyday lives, we only get an hour here or there (unless you are Janell, hee-heee) to work on our pages and projects. There is something sooo fulfilling about coming home with a newly finished project. Sigh... Can't wait!

Part Deux!

How did we get to #2 already??? Seems like we were just on #7 or #8! Well, the packing is well under way and I know everyone is getting excited that it is almost time to go!

#2: Fondling new scrapbook supplies!

Who doesn't love to turn the bag upside down and watch all the fun items fall onto the floor and one by one examine all the new sbing gooding that are inside?? Are you with me on this on? If not, you might want to give it a try! Very self fulfilling!! :)

3 Is the Magic Number

You know you remember the old School House Rock song. Why does everything seem to come in 3s?? Well, evidentally this is a very cosmically pleasing number. So the planets must be aligned for scrapbooking today(maybe that means we will get our Ali Edwards Everyday Beauty Kit from CK... but I won't hold my breath). So, on with the show!

#3: New Friends!

Since we are in our cosmic happy place today under the influence of the magic number 3, we will talk about new scrapbooking friends joining us for our hijinx! We are all very excited that Laura from CKMB is coming down to join us for the retreat. It will be great to spend the days with her cropping, shopping, and eating chocolate! New friends are magical!
