I found a great spot and got set up - I was not quite as organized as I planned to be so ended up pretty much taking everything that I thought I could possibily need - just in case!
I remembered my camera this time! (What kind of scrapper forgets their camera - me - that is who! The last major retreat that I went to, I remembered dang near the entire house, but forgot my camera!! Had to get pictures from my pals to use for my scrapbook!!)
I tried to take a picture every hour on the hour for the main 30-hour crop - just to see the changes happening over time -
completely empty at first and then as it filled up and then died down over the wee small hours of the night and filled back up again the morning. Most of the time I remembered, but sometimes I got so engrossed in my scrapping that I forgot... I did get some sleep at Maria's house - from about 4 a.m. until 7:30 a.m. - about normal for a serious crop! During that time, Dianna, the owner of Remember Me, very kindly kept up the hourly photos, and even added some extra of the die-hard scrappers who carried on all through the night!The crop was not quite as productive as I would have liked, inasmuch as I am still working on the "Lost Pictures" and it entails a lot of undoing layouts or lifting layouts and redoing or inserting other pages - so very time consuming for not a lot of progress.
I really, really want to finish these pictures - so that I can carry on moving forward, instead of one step forward, two steps back.
So the crop was lots of fun - there is another one in April that I will probably sign up for - depending on whether or not I go to an 'away' retreat!
Now, back to my scrapbooks - got to get those photos finished - at the rate that I am taking new pictures, I will never catch up!
Happy Scrapping!
