Great Gathering

Every six months my sisters and I go on our scrapbooking weekend. It's held at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Ogden. It's huge. They have just recently split it up into two weekends because it was always so packed. You have the option of renting a room at a discount, which we always do. It starts at about 5:00pm on Friday and you can stay up as late as you want and then it goes all day Saturday until 9:00pm. It's held every spring and fall, and we've gone for the last three years to every one.

Gayla and I got there at about 4:30 on Friday, checked in and set up all of our stuff. Sara got there a little after us, and my friend Wendy (who has joined us the last two times,) got there about 10:00pm. They fed us pizza for dinner, and had tons of munchies. Wendy and Sara made it until about 3:00am and Gayla and I were at it until about 4:45am. We woke up at 8:00 am, hoping to make it to the free breakfast they provide, but ended up talking in our room for about 4 hours. It was soooo much fun. Then we went to lunch, so we didn't start scraping again until about 2:00pm. Then I went home about 6:30pm. I didn't get as much done (three layouts complete, 4 more started) as I usually do (about 15-20 layouts,) but I still had so much fun.
Working on Lake Powell pics.
Almost all the group. Wendy left early on Saturday, so we didn't get a picture with her. Me, Gayla, one of Gayla's friends that she used to work with, and Sara is in front. I usually only scrapbook twice a year when we go to these things, but I think I'll be able to work on it and finish all of Lake Powell when Kara and I get together to scrapbook.
