The Scrap Cabana Weekend Retreat November Wrap-Up

The Scrap Cabana hosted another wonderful Weekend Scrapbook Retreat in November at The Hampton Inn & Suites in Aurora. We had a great response to our event, with over 49 Cabana Croppers! (I borrowed that new name from a group of returning croppers who created their own shirts to celebrate our weekend event! Check out their picture!) How cool is that! I’m so glad that everyone enjoys our weekend events and that they took the time to create such wonderful custom shirts celebrating our time together! I’m thinking of expanding on their idea to create our own special “Cabana Cropper” paraphernalia to honor their creativity. They say “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery!” I believe in spreading this concept during out events as it pertains to scrapbook layouts & card creations!

All in all, I believe everyone had a great time. Lots of fun was had creating wonderful scrapbook layout creations. We also had a new group of card makers that are so talented! I only wish I could be so creative. I have included a mixture of phenomenal layouts that our scrappers created during the weekend.

Our event is open 24 hours, therefore we offer 50 hours of scrappin time for those die hard scrappers who actually take great advantage of this time. Anita was our die hard scrapper at our September event and she definitely lived up to her reputation at our November event. She was our late night die hard, scrapping into the wee hours of the morning once again. If only we had her stamina! She is not able to attend our March event and I will have to find a suitable die hard replacement. Any takers?

Overall I believe everyone had a great time….our Sunday Raffle was also a big hit with lots of winner! Check out all our photos.

Due to our growth, we are seeking another facility to hold our events. While everyone had a great time, we are quickly running out of space and my number one concern is that everyone is comfortable and has enough space to spread out and focus on scrappin! We have adapted the motto “No Worries, this is your time to focus on scrappin” so I need to be sure to accommodate that motto! Check back often to follow our adventures in scrappin! We really do have a lot of fun and I’m so excited that our group of on-line strangers has grown into a scrappin family!

Check out our information regarding our 2009 Weekend Scrapbook Events at our on-line scrapbook store, The Scrap Cabana Weekend Scrapbook Retreats! I’m confident that you will enjoy our events and we welcome new scrappin buddies to join our growing scrappin family. Hopefully we will scrap with you in 2009!

Until our next chitchat…..Happy Scrappin!
