In a Cabin Up North.....

Happy Friday to me!!!  I am off tomorrow morning for the whole weekend, to spend some time with the girls, scrappin' it up!  I have been waiting to tell you about my big scrapbook retreat until it was closer, and now I'm running around my house like a crazy woman trying to get packed :)  I am SOOOO excited to get away and to spend 3 days catching up in my scrapbooks.  I have been so behind this year, but I've spent lots of my downtime in the last few weeks, trying to catch up and printing pictures like crazy.  I am now only 1 year behind :)  But, after this weekend, I hope to be caught up or at least closer!  

I used to scrapbook so regularly, but this last year I've really "fallen off the wagon."  It all started one year ago, when I went to another scrapbook retreat and got sick (like throwing up every 30 minutes) within the first 6 hours of being there!  Travis had to drive there to pick me up and bring me home because I was so sick...and the retreat was in Wisconsin!!  Here's hoping I do not repeat that scenario again.  It sort of soured me on scrapbooking for awhile :)  Anyway, I'm certain this will be a fun weekend and a great time to hang with some friends and relax.  I will most likely not be blogging this weekend, although I may surprise you!  

Travis and Ryley will be having a boys weekend while I'm gone...pray for them!  Although, they aren't being deserted, I've gone to great lengths to fill up our fridge and cupboards with lots of food and meals for them to survive on.  And, as I type this, the timer is beeping on some cookies I made for them.  So, I better run so I can get to bed soon.  

Hope you have a great weekend too!!  I'll share some pictures with you when I get back :)

  5. Stephanie,
    I have always wanted to do this. I love to scrapbook, but a couple of years ago got rid of most of my scrapbook stuff and now I try to do albums as I go. I just got so overwhelmed with it all, and didn't have the storage. So this seems to be working for me and it makes for some cute, organized albums.

    Hope you have a fun, blessed and no throwing up kind of weekend =)

    Dawn
