     "I've made more progress on my layouts in 1 day than I have in months. I used to hate shopping for materials because I was intimidated by the aisles and aisles of supplies. Now I know I don't have to spend a fortune to create a marvelous scrapbook!"

Is that what all this is all about? LOL . . .

See the Surviving article for more from a writer in the United Kingdom describing what scrapbookers call "scrapbooking weekend retreats."

Then try one of our Scrappin' Retreats and see if you agree.

Hopefully, you'll come away sold on the concept of scrapbooking weekend getaways, you'll think they're better than the childhood pajama parties you remember, and you wouldn't even call it "expensive" . . .
