A Weekend of Scrapbooking

This was the weekend of our semi-annual trip up into the hills about Sonora, CA for a weekend of scrapbooking. Many Creative Memories consultants from the Tracy area invite their clients and friends to spend the weekend at Old Oak Ranch scrapbooking. This is about the 4th year that we've gone. My friends

Joni, Meggin, Nancy, Susan, Cyndra, and I all had a great time. Our goal was to leave Tracy at 4:00! Ha! We say 4:00, really mean 5:00, but Cyndra and Susan didn't leave until about 6:00! The rest of us went on ahead and we all met at Applebee's in Sonora and had dinner. When we finally made it up the mountain it was about 9:30. We cropped until about 1:30--some stayed up until 4:00 a.m.!!!!! We cropped all day Saturday and part of Sunday morning. I got a lot accomplished, but I could've stayed a lot longer! Most of the women go up on Thursday night and scrapbook all day Friday, Satureday and part of Sunday. We've decided that we're going to try to leave Tracy by 10:00 a.m. on Friday next time. Hopefully Meggin will be working out her childcare issue so that can happen. And next time Meggin's mom will be here from Kentucky again to go with us. We love having her because she's so talented and we can steal her ideas. The number one thing that we all want is a Cricut! We voted Susan the Most Likely to Get a Cricut, so we'll just wait to use hers when we need fancy letters.

Our picture was taken Sunday morning. I don't think any of us look our best after having little sleep and basically just sitting for hours and hours! Many of us needed a shower in a big way! But who wants to take time out to shower when your busy scrapbooking?
