What is a Scrapbook Retreat?

If you have never been to a scrapbook weekend before – you’re in for a treat! The beauty of this weekend - YOU get to decide what to do! Feel free to craft away as long as you desire, take time to relax, socialize and meet new friends, shop at our vendor booths, take classes, play games, get a massage, take advantage of the onsite location amenities, or anything else you choose to do on YOUR weekend retreat. Special gifts are always included, as well as an opportunity to win some great raffle prizes! Relaxation, Creativity and Fun are just a few words to describe your weekend away.
