Scrapfest

I know that this post is like so last month, but I have never claimed to be a current blogger and I tend to post things according to the mood I am in, and not necessarily chronological order. This little retreat was last month and it was so fun and I wanted to share even though it is late. The last 2 years my friend Sarah Barlow has organized a getaway for women only called SCRAPFEST. It is a weekend in St. George dedicated to scrapbooking, shopping, eating out, visiting, staying up all night, sleeping in, working on any unfinished projects, or doing whatever your heart may desire which might include just doing nothing. Everyone pitches in a small fee and we rent out the conference center at the Holiday Inn, which is also the hotel, were we all stay. The conference room is just lined with tables for all your project working needs and you just come and go as you please. This year 76 ladies attended. I traveled down with my mom and sister and then we met up with my mom’s sister Annette and my cousin Kimberly who came from Salt Lake. I made some 60 plus hair bows for my girls and a few other people while my mom, sister, aunt & cousin scrapbooked away. Min and me spent most of Friday shopping all the Great stores that St. George has to offer that Vegas does not like Roberts & Tai Pan, and also visiting several stores we Do have in Vegas but don’t get many chances to go to without kids. We ate at the St. George Restaurants we love like The Pizza Factory & Iceberg (for their yummy milkshakes) and just enjoyed eating without having to cook, clean up, or cut-up any ones food. The laughed hard and just enjoyed being girls together. My calendar is already marked for SCRAPFEST 09 and I am defiantly looking forward to it.

P.S. a BIG thank-you to my Wonderful husband who played Mr. Mom all weekend so that I could go. He even got all the kids ready by himself and went to church on Sunday and they got there on time proving that it IS me who makes us late week after week. Also he and the kids had the house cleaned spick-and-span from top to bottom for me when I arrived home. Thank-you so Much. I LOVE YOU!!
