I came home yesterday from the latest YSGW at Mountain Meadows Lodge in Killington, VT. with a sense of accomplishment and the memories of many great conversations with my friends. This past weekend was a great mix of friends I see often, friends I don't get to see often enough and new friends that I had never met. People who have never been to a weekend crop always ask the same question, "How do you scrap for 50 hours without getting bored?" And my shameless plug is, "You have to go to a weekend to see for yourself!" But seriously, for most of us a weekend crop is only partly about scrapbooking. The rest of the experience is about sharing stories and ideas with others and getting to know your friends just a little better. This weekend I got to see scrapbooks and hear stories about Rebecca's recent wedding, Karen's first road trip with her husband almost 30 years ago and Christine's exotic honeymoon trip, just to name a few. I also found out the Laura is a fellow South Park Fan, Carolyn's new cat is adapting well, Trish can make any embellishment just by free-hand cutting some cardstock, and Liz has enough songs on her ipod to get through about 46 hours straight with no repeats! And what an eclectic mix those hours were - I heard songs that I had forgotten all about! Weekend retreats aren't for everyone, but if you have ever thought about going, you should really give it a try. You just may make some new friends and finish that scrapbook that you've been working on!
