Scrappy Weekend

My mom and two of my sisters came up to Idaho to scrap with me all weekend long, with no kiddos (except 5 month old Caleb). It was so much fun. We've done it before and it was still such a blast. My mom and sisters all won stuff! My mom won an 8x8 album, Carrie won a tearing tool, and Julie won an 8x8 paper pack. I guess it will be my turn next year. We went to bed at about 2:00 a.m. and I got up at 6:45 a.m. I had to get ready earlier than everyone else because I had a voice student who was singing for a state solo competition. When I came back, everyone was back to scrappin'. I had to leave early because of the Stake Musical practice, so all in all, I lost a few hours of scrapping. I finished 5 two-page layouts which isn't too bad for me.

This was my favorite layout from the weekend:


Mom and Carrie. Gotta love my mom's look--I think she was gluing something down. You know, it has to be totally straight. She did fabulous and got done as many pages as I did.
Julie and sleepy Caleb. Scrapping one-handed is tricky.

Tara and Amber: Amber won a prize too. We had quite a lucky table. Next year, I call the space across from Gina.
Gina Lynn: complete with all the crazy work space. Oooh, check out the brownie next to her right hand. It was D.VINE. I'll have to search for a recipe to make them.
Do I look tired? This is me on 4.5 hours of sleep just waiting for the inspiration to hit me.

Off to lie awake in bed as it's a non-Ambien night for me.

I am very sad I missed it but Avrie isn't completely done nursing...so that wouldn't have worked. But I would have loved it! Maybe next year!

Do you have a Creative Memories friend? It looks like that's where you were. I used to go to those things too. Fun times!
