NEW to Scrapbooking? 

or is this page GREEK to ya?

NEW TO SCRAPBOOKING or not a scrapbooker and unaware what retreats are all about? Well, imagine packing up luggage for a typical family of 4, full only with your scrapbooking papers, adhesives, embellishments, albums, tools, stickers, etc., then cramming one more tote bag in your van containing just your change of clothes & toiletries. Then you drive (usually with a couple of like-minded scrapbooking friends) anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to a location like a resort, hotel, convention center, bed & breakfast or the like that's ready and waiting for you and perhaps 10-300 others. You set up at a table on Friday and work on your album pages ALL weekend until Sunday, taking breaks only to eat & sleep a few hours. ECSTACY . . .

Review: "I have attended 2 weekend retreats at Michelle's Scrapbook Cottage in Richmond, Indiana. I had a great time, the food was wonderful, and Michelle is the best hostess. She has thought of everything. Each person gets 2 tables to work at and she even has a bell boy to carry your bags and supplies. -April Akers"
