Countdown to Scrapbooking Retreat!
OK, the official countdown is..... 15 days! WooHoo!
Getting down to the 2 week mark is very exciting since it feels like just yesterday we were at the 2 month countdown!
Since I only have about 2 weeks left, it also means that I have a lot to get organized and ready to go. So far the only thing I've managed to get done is sort through my scrapbooking stuff and get rid of anything I don't need (that was actually done a few weeks ago) and I finally placed my order for prints on Winkflash. Thankfully they were having some sales and specials so my order was much cheaper than it normally would have been, which I'm very happy about because my order came to about 40 bucks. Yes, I spent that much on prints! But you also have to know, it was 200 4x6 prints and a few 8x10s and then about 30 5x7, and the ones I'm sooo excited to get back..... the 2 - 10x10 prints!
My big to-do while at the retreat is trying a new technique called photo weaving. Its where you take 2 copies of a photo and cut them into strips and then weave them together. It looks very cool. Since this is a new technique for me, I made sure to order some photos to try it on first. If it all works out, then I'll use that technique on the 10x10 prints (which is a beautiful landscape photo of the snow and trees in northern MI) as a title page for our Winter Weekend in Wolverine. I can't wait!
My other project for the retreat will be to finally start our wedding scrapbook! That will be fun!
Be sure to check back after the retreat for some pics of people and pages!
