Thank you to all our new and veteran scrappers for choosing to join us!
The best thing about holding our retreats at the Timber Creek is the extra large table space. Each scrapper had their very own 8x30 scrapbook space. This allowed plenty of room for everyone to spread out and bunker down for a long eventful weekend. At each of our events, we offer contests and hold an Awards Ceremony on Sunday. This event our contest included the Late Nite Scrappin’ Queen, Layout Queen and BINGO Queen Awards. Our Layouts Queen was Brandi and she definitely took advantage of her time away….completing a total of 76 scrapbook pages! WOW…Way to go! We had two other contenders that definitely have to be mentioned, Geriann with 68 and Lori with 62. Not to shabby! Great going Gals! 
We also offer the Late Night Scrappin’ Award and this too was a competition. Rebecca H., Lori D. and Sara really battled it out for the honor of earning this title! Rebecca stayed up Friday evening until 5:45 and then never went back to sleep the rest of the weekend. Granted she did take a cat nap in the most convenient location, check out the picture, but she was our true Late Nite Scrapper! This photo brings a whole new meaning to “Crop Till U Drop!” I LOVE IT! 
Lori D. and Sara were also awarded the title for staying up till 5:00 on Friday evening and again 5:30 on Saturday nite. Hope you gals have caught up on your sleep!
At our Scrapbook Weekends, we offer the opportunity to play Scrapbook BINGO! You earn raffle tickets just by scrappin! It is a typical BINGO card but with scrappin squares. An example of a Bingo square would be USE RIBBON ON YOUR PAGE, or SCRAPPED FOR OVER 8 HOURS IN ONE DAY, or COMPLETED 10 PAGES. It is really a lot of fun and you earn raffle tickets that you can use to win Scrappin Giveaways. We had a few scrappers that almost completed the entire card and our BINGO Queen was Lori G completing her full Bingo Card.
New this retreat we graced our winners with Special Sashes that they get to keep and wear with honor. If you are an Awards Winner, you must bring the Sash back with you at your next retreat with us and wear with honor! Hopefully soon, we will have a room full of Sash wearing Scrappers…Can’t wait to see you in your Sashes at our March Retreat! Congratulations to all our Award Winners!

CONGRATS TO ALL OUR LUCKY RAFFLE WINNERS!
We had a great new group of scrappers join our retreat this time. Included in the mix were two Prego friends scrappers, April and Joanne both due in May 2010! We wish them the best of luck in the remainder of their pregnancies and look forward to seeing your new little ones in pictures soon! 
We also had a group of scrappers that used to work at one of my favorite Scrapbooking Store which closed many years ago. They brought lots of talent to our Card Creations contest and I hope to utilize their great experience, teaching classes at our future weekend retreats. We are so honored that our new scrappers joined our crazy scrappin group! I hope to see all of you at many more of our events! 
For each of our retreats we like to offer various contests or make-n-take options. For this event, we provided each of our scrappers with a 4X6 creative Nellie’s Garden pad from Pebbles, Inc. Each pad included 30 sheets of paper and 4 sticker sheets. Each scrapper was offered the opportunity to create a card creation to enter into our Card Creation Contest or just keep the pad to enjoy. Each card creation that was submitted into the contest was to utilize at least 80% of the creative pad contents along with any additional embellishments they preferred. We had a total of 12 wonderful, phenomenal, creative card entries into our contest. Each of the scrappers, whether they entered the contest or not, were allowed to vote once for each card they favored! Our Creative Card Contest winners were: 1st Place: Nikki S, 2nd Place: Abbey S. Thank you to all for taking the time to create such creative cards! Check them all out under our photo section on our Facebook account! 
We had a number of enhancements at our January Retreat….on hand was our Exceptional Massage therapist and our Embosser. We also offered the “Garage Sale Table” again and many were able to scoop up wonderful goodies! New this retreat, we had a Creative Memories Rep, Kristen Johnson available with CM Albums, Pages and Protectors. If anyone would like to contact her for supplies, please check out her website, Creative Memories/Kris Johnson
We will be adding a few new perks to our future Weekend Retreats….each of our Cabana Scrappers are given a lanyard and name tag so that we all get to know each other better. We will have new The Scrap Cabana lanyards at our March Retreat and we will also be introducing our “Loyal Cabana Croppers Awards”, cool buttons that showcase your retreat attendance! What a great, fun way to display your Cabana loyalty! Check back soon as we will also be introducing our New Scrapbook ReMix Contest….details to follow in a few weeks! It’s guaranteed to be so much fun and provide a lot of laughs!
Check out our information regarding our 2010 and 2011 Weekend Scrapbook Events! I’m confident that you will enjoy our events and we welcome new scrappin buddies to join our rapidly growing scrappin family. Our March Retreat already has 26 registered scrappers! Sign up today as we only have room for 50 scrappers! Hopefully we will scrap with you soon!
Until our next chitchat…..Happy Scrappin!
