Retreat Packing List!

Happy Friday!

We are getting so close to the retreat!  I don't know about you all, but it is time to start packing so you don't leave anything important behind!  We will have all the basics and some goodies in the mini-store, but it is so frustrating to not have what you were wanting to have - like that 5 year old line from Crate Paper you have been waiting to use :)  So, without further ado, here is my tried and true packing list!

Retreat Packing List - Scrapbook Things

o Paper trimmer
o Scissors
o Adhesive tape AND liquid glue
o Journaling pens
o Project kits
o Thickers!
o Embellishments
o Paper lines (stored in class bags!)
o Stamps
o Dies and inks
o PICTURES!
o Cricut or Silhouette
o Cutting mat
o Ottlite or small table lamp
o Power strip
o Selphy printer
o Trash container
o Album and page protectors – a place for those finished layouts

Retreat Packing List - Non-Scrapbook Things

o Blanket or jacket

o PJ’s

o Flipflops or slide-on shoes

o Slippers

o Tissues

o Nail clippers or file

o A wide variety of snacks

o Checkbook

o Lunchbox to keep drinks cold

o iPad/Laptop/Tablet AND headphones

I highly recommend packing for a variety of weather!  Sometimes, ballrooms are really cold, sometimes they are super hot.  I don't know about you, but I have a hard time working if I am on either end of the temperature spectrum. So, plan ahead and tuck a jacket and a short sleeved tshirt in there.  Also, because it is such a large group, we do ask that you wear headphones while watching that Tim Holtz tutorial or latest season of This is Us (in which case pack a lot of other tissues)!

Now, go get packing!
