After having driven in fog and rain we finally arrived at our exquisite accommodations! The condo was just awesome and perfect for all of us. We each got our own bed, and General Scrappy was honored with her own personal King sized bed and private bath!!After getting thing unpacked and set up for scrapping we kicked off the weekend with a Pear juice and Champagne toast! Delish!
Scrappy was a little upset after unpacking to discover she had forgotten the
power cord for the Cricut!!
But it all worked fine without it. Our pages are even more creative!!
Here's Helen scrappin'. She was very productive and got 15 pages done.
So, for those of you who think we just goofed off, think again!!
Our first stop the next day was to check out Gigi's scrapbook store, after all that was how we got into this!!(The picture above is actually on our second stop at the store. Notice the wind!!)
The store was awesome. Decorated so cute and had great things we had never seen!!
This one was made on our first day which was beautiful and sunny!!

We then went to check out the actual Gigi's Scrapbooking Retreat. We were able to
shop the vendors and do a make and take with Close to my Heart.
We all decided we made the right decision to do our own thing!
Oh and by the way this was the view on Friday. It was a beautiful day.
Now I can get through January and February!!
Here's Edith and Martha without whom none of this would have been possible. Thank you so much Martha. You are great and we are all happy to have a new friend!! Thank you so much!!
