December Crop?

We missed those of you that couldn't make it on Saturday and hope you can join us next time. We were happy to welcome Jessica's friend Stephanie and Karen and her daughter Nicole!

As always, we had some great food which was only surpased by the great company. We enjoyed a DJ compliments of the party next door. In fact he was so good we contemplated inviting him back for our next crop. ;)

I know that Christmas is a very busy time for all of us. I personally have some presents I would like to work on and several other people have mentioned they have gift projects as well. If you are interested in coming to a crop on Saturday, December 13th, please let me know.

Lastly, some you may remember Jeanie Luke from when she joined us to crop one time or you may know her from church. She is very ill and I know she and her son Wes would really appreciate our prayers for them right now.

Have a great week and don't forget to respond regarding the 13th.

Thanks,
Lydia

Retreat Pics!

Here are a few pics of the retreat. When we arrived it was cold and rainy so it was very cozy our first night with a fire in the fireplace! Many people brought snacks to share and the coffee was brewing. It took us NO TIME at all to get all our stuff out and start scrapping!We were blessed that Lydia felt well enough to come as planned. Everybody chipped in to help out with setting up, etc.
After dinner everybody started breaking out the pajamas. Some people stayed up until the wee hours. I think the record was 5:00am!

We even had a row of ditital scrappers.


Once the rain stopped, the rest of the weekend was beautiful! Here are some fall pics.



We had a lot of fun and can't wait 'til next year!

November Crop

Well the scrapbook retreat was a blast. We enjoyed spending time with old friends and making new ones. We had 11 out of 17 people report numbers and a total of 1,630 photos scrapped!!!! One person cropped over 500 pictures! Other than some really spicy lasagna, I think a great time was had by all. We will definitely plan another next year so stay tuned.

Our November crop is planned for Saturday, November 8th from 5:00 - 11:00. Due to a scheduling conflict, the youth room will be in use that night so we will meet in the foyer. Please enter through the glass doors on the sanctuary end of the church. Please let me know if you plan to attend so that the correct number of tables are set up. I hope to see you on the 8th.

On another note, I would like to say thank you for all the prayers. I am feeling much better and hopefully will be as good as new soon.:)

Thanks,
Lydia
