What is a SCRAP POOL?

Scrap Pool, huh?  Well, I can tell you that some people are going "huh?" and some people are literally jumping up and down!

Who doesn't have scrapbook stuff they have bought and have never even opened?  Or bought a scrapbook tool and MAYBE used it... once?

Well if you fall into this category AT ALL, the SCRAP POOL is for YOU!!!

Gather up your new and gently used scrapbook items, clearly label them with your NAME and PRICE.  Bring them to the Retreat where there will be a couple of tables set up for you to drop off your stuff and watch them sell like hotcakes!

Oh, and don't forget to shop early AND often because let me tell you... this stuff goes FAST!!!
So, come on!  Get into your scrapbook stuff and clean it out and bring your stuff to the retreat where you will "clean up"!  You'll be amazed how much stuff you can get rid of!

Busy Tonight!

My "retreat mode" has had me working on the seating chart tonight.  I am really excited about it.  I think you are going to really like the room at this new place.  But, I want to mention a couple of things.  (Remember, I was forced to change venues AFTER I already had registrations coming in for this one!)

The room is a little smaller than at Cobblestone, but I think we are still going to have plenty of room.  PLENTY!  I have a little concern, though.  The ceilings are low and the lighting is not great.  Can't do anything about the "lowness" of the ceilings, but it does make the room look small, but I am getting used to it!

As for the lighting... all I can say is YOU have any concerns, just bring yourself a workstation light.  My contact at the hotel has said that's what everyone else who has attended scrapbook retreats there did that and were just fine!  So, we are going to go with that.

Outlets are plentiful, but it never hurts to put and extension and/or a multiplug surge protector in just in case.

Don't worry... I'll be reminding you of all of this as we get closer!  I was just sitting here tonight planning and I have to put my "thoughts" somewhere!!!  So, if you are a blog reader, you get to read my mind!

Reminder to self... put out email/blog entry about...
Scrap Pool
Food wants/needs
Snacks/drinks
Tool Table
Prize Ideas

Ok... that helps clear my head.  I'm gonna go take inventory of prizes.  Wish me luck!
