SCRAP WEEKEND AWAY

I'm off on a scrap weekend away, late this afternoon, with my bestest scrapping buddies!

I can't wait to get there.

I'm not taking a lot of my own scrapping stuff with me - just a couple of half done off the page projects - as I've got a lot of school work to catch up on. 

And I'm taking the shop of course!

We're going to stay at a lovely cottage in Lancefield which we've been to several times before.

For those of you that don't know, Lancefield is here. 

And once I get there I know that I am going to go from feeling like this,

,and this,

and this -

 to feeling like this,

and this, 

just by doing this,

  

and lots of this!!!

 

I'll post photos of our weekend away, and my hopefully finished off the page items, next week!

As I keep telling you - it is much cheaper than a therapist!

I WANT TO GO - PERHAPS 2013!!!

I was just looking through some of the Archiver's photos on their facebook page and drooling. I would love to go to this!!! It looks absolutely fantastic. I'm assuming that there is accommodation at the mall of America so everybody stays there as well. Wow!

Well we were supposed to be in the US for my birthday this year, in January, and it just didn't happen. The finances were under way too much strain so we had a week in Warrnambool instead.

 Now don't get me wrong, I just love Warrnambool and would move there tomorrow, (Warrnambool in Victoria, Australia for those of you that don't know) but it was a bit of a disappointment for my big birthday!

 This is Honeysuckle Cottage where we stayed! :)

So what about next year! Well, I can dream, can't I?

Have you ever been to this event? Please leave a comment and let me know what it was like. Or have you been to another scrapping event that was fantastic? I'd love to hear about it.

Archivers Scrapfest

Did you get a chance to attend Archivers Scrapfest?

As always, the buzz from the event was huge! The event took place September 14-16, 2012 at the Mall of America in MN, and featured classes, make & takes, shopping, celeb sightings and more. Here are links to some reports & photos from the show:

·         Heidi Swapp reports that ScrapFest Was Amazing!

·         Archivers Facebook Page - Photos

·         Doodlebug shared some photos snapped by fans

·         Tim Holtz shared some 'behind the scenes' photos from ScrapFest

If you have links to additional ScrapFest 2012 photos, share them in the comments! Meanwhile, the ScrapFest for 2013 date has been set for September 20-22, 2013 so go ahead & mark your calendars!

Well I'm off to a fabulous weekend of scrapping in Lancefield in a few weeks on a slightly smaller scale that the Mall Of America event - I think there are seven of us - and I just can't wait! 

 This is Sewjourn where we stay. A gorgeous little cottage on the main street of Lancefield.

And this is the studio where we scrap which is a few steps away from the cottage in the yard.

I know from previous experience we will have lovely food, because our personal chef is a legend, and we will scrap feverishly, and laugh, laugh, laugh until we cry! It really is better than therapy - and cheaper too! I will post some photos of our event as soon as I can. Perhaps just as glamorous as when we all had homemade facemasks and cucumber slices on last time!!!
