Retreat at Timberline - How it Went

Well, Maria and I had a good time at Timberline - not much sleep for various reasons, but a good time. One of the highlights was meeting and getting to know Jessie from "Cherish the Thought".

I managed to get 22 pages done!! Not bad.

I have to say that pre-kitting my pages made a really big difference - both on the speed that I was able to get going on things and just the amount of stuff that I did not need to take with me. On top of that, I ensured that I used my stash first!!

Before the retreat, I had spent quite a bit of time sorting my pictures and gathering any cardstock and pattern papers that I already had on hand and placing them in 12x12 plastic bags. If I had enlargements, I included them as well - so all I needed to do was to pull out the next package and I was off and running.

I also used a form from Creating Keepsakes - a 'to do' form that had space for the title, and if the photos and/or paper was there waiting. I found this to be a big help as it kept me organized.

Now I just need to keep going and I might even catch up to 2006 or even 2007 this year!!

Happy Scrapping,

Brenda
