Retreat Minus One Week!

 Happy Friday! 

Can you believe that it is ALREADY one week until the retreat?!?  I am so excited to be at this Fall Retreat and I can't wait to spend the weekend crafting with my favorite people!  

As you start packing, I want to share my handy dandy packing list!  This list is compiled by suggestions for you all and is a great last minute checklist to make sure you didn't forget anything.  The voice of experience (ME!) will tell you that it is a true bummer to have to purchase a new trimmer because you left it at home.  

So, without further ado, here is my famous, time tested, packing list! 

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 do recommend packing for warm or cold rooms. You never know what the weather is going to be like in the ballroom and it also can be different from the front to the back of the room.  For me, it is really hard to scrap and focus if I am hot or cold :) 

Please make sure you also pack headphones!  There are lots of people in the room and you want to be able to hear your tutorial or Netflix special.... and your neighbor doesn't want to hear yours!  

I can't wait to see you all there!  Be sure to be watching your email for announcements about the retreat coming AND join the Facebook group for the Retreat!  

Now, go get packing!
