What is this "Scrapbooking and Card Making Retreat"?
   Think of this retreat as:
        * a getaway to start or finish projects!
        * a great opportunity to meet others who share your hobby!
        * a time to share non-consumable items with others! (e.g.,: Cuttlebugs, punches, decorative scissors, etc.)
        * a short vacation from obligations to do what you love to do!
        * a way to be productive and spend time with friends -- at the same time!

        * Guesstimate your regular rate of work and plan accordingly.
        * Bring what you need for projects you want to work on (paper, ink, stamps, adhesives, markers, cutter,
               laptop, extension cord, extra lighting, yarn, etc.) ... and a tablet and pen -- in case you want to write
               down tips, techniques, inspiration, web sites, etc. others share with you!
        * Sweet and/or salty snacks and beverages for yourself and, if possible, a similar snack to share
               (please do not bring greasy or messy treats).

            God's Word! A challenge to memorize a Scripture verse or two will also be included! Here is the listing of
            Scripture verses we have been challenged to memorize so far: Romans 10:9; 1 John 1:9; John 10:24;
            Romans 8:28; Psalm 27:14; Philippians 4:6-7; Jeremiah 29:11; and Psalm 33:20.

            respectful, reasonable, and kind free-for-all.

Will there be a scrapbook teachers?
         * No, the attendees are scrapbookers or card makers who have set time aside to work on and/or complete
            projects. Although everyone is encouraged to interact with each other, we do ask that you respect
            each other's time and personal workspace. If you would like to be taught how to scrapbook, not merely
            get quick ideas from others, this retreat will not fulfill your need in that manner.

             in the demonstration and make the takeaways, please consider donating $5.00 to help cover the
             cost of the materials used in the takeaways.
