Scrap Sistaz created in 2008 when two friends who loved to scrapbook started talking about their monthly late-nighters and how much FUN we had but never seemed to have enough time to get anything done besides talk and eat. We decided that what we really needed was a "break" from our daily routines and some time with "the Girls". After bouncing around ideas, we realized that we needed to plan a weekend long scrapbook retreat so we could hang out and scrap a little or a lot and just have FUN!

Summer Retreat Recap!!!!
Wow....we have finally gotten some sleep and just wanted to thank all of you who attended our Scrap Sistaz Summer retreat at Hytatt Gainey Ranch this past weekend. WE had a BLAST!! We hope that you all had a lot of fun hanging out with old friends and meeting some new ones too.
When the doors opened at noon on Friday we were ready for a stampede and by 2:00 we had about 20 scrappers already getting to work. EARLY BIRD PRIZE WINNER was Melanie Volz, who won a basket of stamps, paper and other goodies. We kicked off the weekend at 6:00 and played a little Getting to Know you game later on the evening. Lee Gillingham won the GETTING TO KNOW YOU GAME and received a shirt appropriately titled "What Happens at the Crop Stays at the Crop"
Saturday morning started with the group photo outside in the 90+ degree weather. Thanks for putting up with us guys...next year we'll look for a spot indoors! Susan Mast had a fabulous mini album class, Patti from I-Scrap did a Sure Cuts A Lot demo and we had lots of make in takes sponsored by Devine Memories, Krista Koenig and A Scrappin Affair throughout the weekend.
Congrats to our SCRAPBOOK BINGO WINNERS: Lee Gillingham, Lisa Carlin, Kristi Villa and Marla Husovsky.
Congrats to our June Birthday girls: Peggy Reyna, Gale Asberry, Brenda Schonig, Connie Glancy and Reaj Roberts
We also had some AMAZING CONTEST ENTRIES this year: Congrats to BEST HOLIDAY/BIRTHDAY winner Stevie Lockhart...BEST VACATION winner Josie Pakula and BEST OVERALL CREATIVITY Reaj Roberts
GRAND PRIZE WINNER Christine Prezant was happy to get our beautiful flower pot and then thrilled when she realized that there was money hidden in the flowers totaling $100!!!
