OK…  plans are in the works for the Croptoberfest Retreat!!  We are going to Lincoln City for the weekend of November 21st-23rd.  Cost is $75 + shared meal assignment.  Let me know ASAP if you are interested or need more information so I can finalize plans.  Once I know how many people are coming along, I can book the house, collect payment, assign meals, etc.

Check with your girlfriends and see who wants to join us for a weekend away at the beach:)  It’s gonna be fun!!

I am currently planning our Croptoberfest Retreat.  It will either be in Government Camp or at the coast (Lincoln City, most likely) and I’m still not sure if it will be in October or November.  I know…  not a lot of information:)  but…  any feedback is good and/or if you have any contacts or places that you may think will work well (or places you’ve liked in the past), I’d love to hear it.  As soon as I have dates/prices/place/etc. I will let you all know:)

This is my Annual FREE Customer Appreciation Workshop to celebrate my 9th Anniversary with Creative Memories!  Friday, Sept. 12th, 7pm-12 midnight at Queen of Peace church (on the corner of Friendship and Lone Oak in Salem).  Registration is required so I can plan accordingly.  Please let me know if you can come celebrate with me:)

I am only have one workshop per month this summer as I know it is a busy time of year!!  I am taking sign ups, so if you can make one or two (or all 3) let me know and I can put you down.

All workshops are 7pm-12 midnight and cost $10.  Let me know if you can make it:)

So, there was 8 of us who participated in “A page a day…” this year.  Together we completed 197 pages!!  Awesome!  That’s almost 200 pages that may not have been completed without this challenge.  I know I didn’t get to it EVERY day, but I tried to make up for it on the days I did scrapbook.  Lana Doyle (mom) was the winner with 42 pages completed!!  Great job!  Katie Gillentine was a close 2nd with 40 pages–with 4 kids including a baby, that’s pretty impressive!  Heather Collver came in 3rd, beating me by one page:)

Great job to everyone who took the challenge!  We’ll do it again next year!

Yes!  I am doing the “page a day….” challenge again this year!  If you don’t know what I am talking about, let me know and I can fill you in:)  If you already know the details and want to participate, let me know and I will put you on the list.  This is a great way to get caught up before summer!

I will be placing an order on April 15th.  If you need anything for the retreat or want some of the New Products from March, let me know.

My workshop dates for May are Friday, May 9th and May 30th.  I am now taking sign ups for these workshops, so let me know if you’d like to come.  The cost is $10 and they go from 7pm-12 midnight.  Hope you can make it:)

This year for National Scrapbook Day we will celebrate at the beach retreat. Creative Memories has also set up a “Million Page Challenge” for all NSD events this month. So, even if you are not attending the retreat, get your scrapbook stuff out and let me know how many pages you complete (April 25th-27th only) so you can be a part of the challenge! I do have 1 spot left to fill for the retreat… I have someone who wants to come for just Saturday night, so if anyone would be interested in splitting the cost and just coming Friday night, let me know asap:) We are staying at a new place as the other one booked up before I could book it.  Check it out ~ “SeaDrift” at www.seahavenrentals.com
