Many of the scrapbookers I know spend lots of money on tags, paper, and scrapbook albums as well as plenty of time taking pictures to use for scrapbooking. However, many of them become frustrated with the fact that they have enough scrapbooking inventory on hand to open a store, and they have enough pictures to create several scrapbooks, but they don’t have much to show for their efforts. The most common reason I come across is the time investment that is required for putting together a finished product. They just can’t seem to find a break in the day-to-day family rearing action to compile everything into completed scrapbooks. Scrapbooking retreats provide a good opportunity to catch up on completingthose scrapbooks that you’ve been putting off for so long.
Scrapbooking retreats come in many shapes and sizes, and you can likely find one in a location close to where you are. If you do have to travel, then hey, all the better opportunity to get away for a night or two. To find a scrapbooking retreat close to your area, just do an internet search for “scrapbooking retreat” or “cropping retreat” along with the city where you live. You will likely find several alternatives.
Most people who attend scrapbooking retreats bring a friend along with them so they are more comfortable going, but if you don’t have a friend to bring, you will most likely find someone there who’s glad to get to know you.
If an organized public scrapbooking retreat doesn’t sound like your favorite place to go for catching up on your scrapbooking habit, you may consider organizing one yourself. Talk to your friends about renting a cabin for a night, and go have some productive fun.
