I just got back yesterday from a weekend filled with paper, brads, ribbon, stamps, eyelets, ink, staples and pictures and it was so fun. I went with my mom, my sister and a close family friend of ours to a place in Lava where we stayed the entire weekend indoors scrappin til our hearts content. We arrived on Thursday night and unloaded all our stuff, it was a miracle we got it all into one vehicle. Our overnight bags were so small compared to all the stuff we took along "just in case" we needed it for scrapbooking. We stayed up until about midnight getting things organized and ready to go before heading to bed. When we woke up we went straight to the table to start on out projects. I completed an 8x8 album with 20 pages from our Cruise to Baja and also did 23 12x12 pages mostly of the kids. I stayed up until 3 in the morning Saturday and got quite a bit done. Towards the ends of the weekend I hit a creative wall and couldn't' seem to get anything done. Everything I started didn't end up working or I didn't like it so I pretty much looked through magazines and watched everyone else there work. I was still pleased with all I got done. My goal was to get the 8x8 book done, so everything else I accomplished was just a bonus. We had a great time with lots of great food and made some new friends. There were about 25 women there scrabooking and sewing. It was a great getaway and a great birthday present! Thanks for letting me go Matt while you watched the kids!!
When I got home Matt asked if he could go golfing in Buhl with a friend...how can I possibly say no after he watched the kids all weekend so I could go. Nice timing Matt, you knew I couldn't say no!!
Today I have been busy getting the house back to normal after a weekend with just Matt and the kids. No matter how hard he tries he can't seem to keep the house out of shambles while I am away. So today I am working on 10 loads of laundry and picking up many toys and garbage that was left lying around. It will sure feel good to have a clean house once again!

sounds like fun! The only bad part to a girls weekend is coming home to a mess. Its the same here even though Ryan tries his hardest to keep up on it.
I am so glad that I am not the only one that does a scrapbooking weekend! I don't see the light at all when I go! I just stay inside and scrap away!!! I want to see some of your layouts! You are a great cook and I am sure you are an amazing scrapper!
