While I do admit I love scrapbooking and all things crafty, I never thought I'd actually spend money to fly somewhere to scrapbook. But I did and I'm so glad I did. I met the coolest chics around. Many of them I've already been emailing and blogging with, but to meet them face to face, hear about their interesting lives, have happy hour, laugh so hard we had the front desk tell us to shut it, getting lost everywhere we went, talking in southern accents, spending way too much money here and here and here, not getting enough sleep, food or scrapbooking in (but made it up with margaritas), totally worth it all!!! I can't WAIT for next year!!
Patty and Sandy, I just adore them!!!
love me some Big Dinners. Here's BP/BD and me, we made each other Sis yearbooks. She's the sweetest tart ever!
Here's a picture when Heather kept rubbing up against me...but I sort of liked it...Okay, I loved it...
Patty, we just couldn't keep her out of the bushes...she loves to bird watch...
Coolest gang
Hey! It's Jen Renee, Amy (so talented) and Sandy (Paper Poopies,I mean Poppies!)
here's the layout I did for Amy (her picture-long story). She did one for me, I'll have to take a pic and post it. It's super cute! The funniest thing is I only had 4 photobooth strips at Sis, no real pictures...Who goes to a scrapbook convention without pictures??? Did I mention we had margaritas though?
me and Vanessa, the PA girls!
Me and Martha, here's the layout she did for me (she didn't seem to remember the restraining order against me, so that was cool...)
Amy doing her Beyonce dance, so cute!
(stolen from Jen) doesn't JJ look thrilled to be there with me?
Yes, I take scrapbooking VERY seriously, people! "Now, should I put poop head or poop face, what did Amy tell me????"
me and amy=me happy!!
I stole this from Mandi, my newest idol! Man, she can jump!
Vanessa, AW and Mandi
What did I tell you? I had a problemo,pero nada no mas...
Mandi and Michelle
as Patty said, the 4 Georgia Peaches...
holy crap Big Dinners, put 'em away now!!! Oh, I LOVE her!!!
SHHHHHHHH!!!! Pillow fights in undies happened right after this!
well, right after this, I mean...
do not try this at home!
then it was nighty-night time...
I pretty much spent the entire weekend attached at the hip to 3 of my newest favorite girls (Sandy, Patty, Jen), and totally fell in love with a few more (Big Dinners, Mandi, Vanessa, Amy and Heather). We all mentioned doing another girls weekend sooner than later and I'm totally ready! I can't imagine only seeing these chics once a year!
The last day the fab 4-some went shopping in Nashville at Anthro,
ate lunch and then headed to the airport where we sat at each person's gate, saying good-bye one by one until we all flew off into the sunset (insert sad violin music here)...
This is my famous "deer in the headlights" look, feel free to use it...
Bye Jen!!! And Patty!!! And Sandy!!! Hasta Luego! Until we meet again...soon, oh, yes, verrrrrrryyy soon....
