Retreat Packing List!

 Happy Friday everyone!

We are so close to the Back to the Future crop and I can't wait to be there with you all!  If you haven't joined the Facebook group yet, you will want to do so.  There is all kinds of information in the group, including a tentative schedule, t-shirt ordering, and more.  

Today, I wanted to share with you all my tried and true packing list!  We always have a mini-store with us, but I hate buying something I already own (like a paper trimmer - true story)!  I always use this list to pack, so I hope it helps guide you - be sure to comment with any extras you may also love packing! 

Retreat Packing List - Scrapbook Things

o Paper trimmer (extra blades too!)
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
o Small Desk Shelf

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 The Great British Baking Show!

I can't wait to see you all - be sure to add anything we may have missed in the comments!

Now, go get packing!
