Stuttgart Scrappin!

While Burstadt had it's SpringFest, I drove about an hour and a half to Stuttgart Saturday for an all day/all night scrap-a-thon! I got on an email list when we first arrived because someone was having a weekend getaway scrap and it was advertised throughout several communities. I wasn't able to go to that, but then they all got together and got a website going and have scheduled some monthly crops. Since I was still on the list, I was sent an invitation to the board, and subsequently, the crops! I arrived at 11am and left at 8:30pm. It was 10a to midnight, but with the drive, I didn't want to stay too late.

The downside was that I had ordered over 300 pictures from skiing, the moms visit and the Spain trip that didn't come in in time. But the upside to that situation is that I had an unfinished album that I had started just before fostering, and had not added to very much since. Because T had his own book, and then the wedding followed with it's own, and then I started my Germany system with albums for everyday pictures and scrapbooks just for vacations, it was an unfinished mess wreaking havoc on my need for organization! SO, I got busy on that album and filled out pages and it is now finished and bound! I also made templates for all the pages for our ski scrapbook. It is a 7x7 (usually they are 12x12), so it was easy to know 1-2 pics per page and lay it all out. When those pics come in I can just stick them in there. And I am sure they will be in the mailbox Monday. Because that's just how it goes!

There is another one scheduled May 3. I hope to make it and have pictures in hand! :)
