So last weekend I went on my first scrapbook retreat. It was fabulous. I can't wait to go back. Heather from Younique has a wonderful thing going there. She has done a fantastic job. Not only can she accomodate 8 scrappers for the weekend (2 nights) she can accomodate a few scrappers through the day as well. She makes terrific homemade meals and has all the little extras, like chocolates on your pillow, a Tassimo machine and lotions/bodywash to take home. She also has a scrappy store in her house. If you ever get a chance to go, I would highly recommend it! WARNING! Be prepared to have lots of fun, not get alot of sleep, and either get lots of scrappy layouts done, or maybe not! ;) LOL
So here is what I got done. I can actually say that this retreat was a good thing for me. Quite an accomplishment for me actually, I got 7 layouts done and started an 8th.









The following are photos I took of this marvelous country retreat, the bright yellow school bus, (I mean Scrappy room) , the store, the friends I went with and a few home decor details that I loved.

So that's it in a nut shell. Another busy weekend ahead, Easter plans and all. I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend!
