This was our second year to attend the Scrappin' at the Beach Retreat. Pat, Libby and I left on Thursday loaded down with (most) of the materials we needed for a fun weekend of scrapping.
You can't see all the stuff because we deliberately sat in front of it. :) The first afternoon we got unloaded and settled down to "getting ready". That night was "PJ Night" and everyone came back from dinner dressed in their pajamas ready to scrap for the long haul. We stayed until midnight. I overslept the next morning and Libby got up to see the sun come up. We scrapped all day and went to dinner about 5:30. We were told by Gina to be sure to be back by at least 7:30 or 7:45 because it was a theme night [40's, 50's, 60's, etc.] and there was a special surprise. I told her to please just don't resurrect Elvis!! They told me there would be a cardboard cutout but not to worry! Well, guess who just told me a fat fib??!! After the "Hippie Chicks" (employees of GiGi's) performed--yes, Elvis showed up!!
What part of God's creation isn't beautiful? Just look at this gorgeous blue water and white sand!
This guy is the Assistant Principal of the Foley High School who does this as a hobby--he was ok, but he definitely needs to keep his day job. We kept on scrapping as he performed and all of a sudden I looked up and this is what I saw--
He snuck up on Libby and I grabbed my camera. BTW, he has a surger and makes his own scarves! We thought that was funny! The "Hippie Chick" in the white glasses is Gina who owns Gigi's Scrapbook Store in Foley and the girl in the pink hat is Jamie. They are both sweet, precious ladies. They were dressed up for the 60's night. We only stayed till 11:00 PM that night!!
This is a painted canvas class we did today. It's 16 x 16 with a red heart, ribbons, silk flowers and tags. The only thing left to do is use black marker and go around the green. We did this on a lark and it was fun. We also did an altered HUGE clothes pin with beach paper and shells. Each of us did page layouts--some more than others--but we enjoyed it tremendously. We're thankful to have family that will allow us to get away together for fellowship and girl time. Our tablemates took this picture.
This afternoon (Saturday) we left Pat to take the last class and Libby and I went to the grocery store. We bought steaks, asparagus, salad stuff and ice cream for supper. After a wonderful dinner we watched "Mama Mia" and sang and laughed along with it. What a great way to end a weekend.
