Fall Retreat was Awesome!


We had an amazing weekend with 21 croppers at the Mesa Hilton. We got to see our old friends, new ones and just hang out and crop all weekend long. We started at 9am on Friday and cropped non stop till midnight and then the Crop room opened at 6:30am and believe it or not we cropped until 6:30am Sunday! Deb Adler won the Early Bird prize...Kristi Villa won the Getting to Know You game on Friday. On Saturday Nichole from A Scrappin Affair came and brought us a lot of new stuff that had not even hit the stores yet...and of course we were all like vultures trying to get the "New Stuff". Our miracle worker Thelma came to massage us all Saturday afternoon to keep us going.

We played Bingo and had 5 winners all at once...I mean really who gets that lucky! Anyways after drawing names the top three winners were Michele Shipp and Susan Singh and Kristi again.

The contests entries Saturday night were also amazing. I was so glad that me and Karen didn't have to vote! Roberta Baker and Kelly Mueller tied for Best Travel/Vacation layout....Sherry Petrelli won for Best Cricut use and Kristi Villa won for Best Overall. Man Kristi was on a role!!! I'm thinking she shoulda bought a lottery ticket.

The Grand Prize went to Roberta Baker and special prizes went out to our 3 biggest supporters....Michele Shipp...Deb Adler and Kristi Villa for attending all 4 Scrap Sistaz events since we started this last year.

After midnight we tried to get the group going with some more sily games....Janet Meza and Rhonda Jones tied for "How Well do you know your Scrap Sistaz"... Janet also won the Word Jumble game at 3am in the morning!!!! I think I had 2 brain cells left at that time.

And Jody McNelis and Julie Lucian won our Last Man Standing Prize after staying up with us for 24 hours till our crop ended on Sunday at 6:30am!!!!!

Whew....we were beat but had a Fabulous time as usual and can't wait till next year.

We will be checking out hotels again in November and making decisions by the end of the year for our Summer 2010 dates.....Happy Croppin for now and thanks to everyone who came this weekend..We had a blast!!!
