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 . . . Typical scrapbooking retreat photos

With the advent of affordable paper, precursors to modern scrapbooks became available to a wider array of people. Beginning in the 15th century, commonplace books, popular in England, emerged as a way to compile information that included recipes, quotes, letters, poems and more. Each commonplace book was unique to its creator's particular interests. Friendship albums became popular in the 16th century. These albums were used much like modern day yearbooks, where friends or patrons would enter their names, titles and short texts or illustrations at the request of the album's owner. These albums were often created as souvenirs of European tours and woul...

Holy Mackeral Andy! I just can't imagine that there actually are scrapbooking retreats. My first BIG introduction to it was at Thanksgiving in Waycross, GA with hubby's family -- some of the coolest scrapbooks I've seen. We're heading there tomorrow. Terrific lens!
