Scrapbooking Weekend

Well I went to the Scrapbook Dream Vacation (SDV) this weekend. I went for Friday - Sunday and my sister-in-law went for all day Saturday. I give her a lot of credit, she is 8 plus months pregnant and sent close to 12 hours scrapping! That's impressive.

I have lots of layouts to share (well not as many as I should after being there for three days, but still quite a few.

Well Friday I should have been at the venue at about 9am but I didn't get there until about 7pm. I had finished up my work for the week that morning but I hadn't planned out any pages to scrapbook yet. So besides that most of my stuff was still in boxes from moving I had to plan pages and rifle through my stuff to decide what layouts to do and what embellishments to add.

I got on the road at about 4:45 pm and got to the venue in time for dinner. Dropped my stuff off and went to eat. The food was really good this year! Bonus!

I got to scrappin' and worked until about 12:30/1:00 and then went to Steve and T's house to sleep. They live about 10 - 15 minutes away. Bonus! I didn't have to pay for a hotel room!

The next morning I got up and kibbitzed with my brother and played with my nephew for a while. I got back to the venue about noon and then looked at all the vendor booths. I settled down to work at 1:00 pm.

Here are some layouts that I accomplished on Friday and Saturday:






We stopped long enough to have dinner and do a little bit of shopping. I think I did pretty good, not buying a whole lot of stuff, I think I kept it under $100. Well, make that under $150 ;)

We stopped around 9:30 for a snack, ice cream and chocolate.....they go perfect with scrapbooking. Then back to the scrap table.








To save some time I did a similar layout using the same papers for both the girls and just journalled them differently. "Print in Pink" and "Big Sister Syndrome"

Some layouts I didn't have a chance to journal yet and the following two I didn't have pictures for yet, as I want to get a couple of nice recent pictures of "The Man" and I as I really don't have many of just the two of us. For some reason it keeps turning on the side, sorry about that.








My sister-in-law left around 11 or so and I keep chugging on. About 2:30 I lost steam but was too tired to drive to her house so I went out in the hall, played some games on my computer, went back to my table and fell asleep a couple times (I hope I didn't snore) and then went out to the car and slept in there for a couple hours. Yeah, now I'm a hobo for scrapbooking...I really am pitiful! Had breakfast at 9am and got back to scrapping, but since I only slept about 6 hours the entire weekend I didn't accomplish much on Sunday. Packed up at about 2pm and got home about 4pm. I got in bed at 5:30 pm and slept until 10:30 am on Monday! It was a great weekend, but my body is paying the price now! Can't wait for the next one. LOL.







Sorry about the sideways pictures. That is so annoying and I don't know why it is happening. I rotated the pictures on my hard drive so they should be the correct way. It's something with blogger I am guessing. Can anyone shed light on what I need to do to fit this problem?
