Weekend Update: -- Scrapping the day away
I went on my semi-annual scrapbook trip with my friend, Megan from New York. Actually we had a heck of time getting together last year because of our busy schedules and this year we had to reschedule twice because of the weather. So maybe I can't call it a semi-annual trip. It's more like a oh-please-let-this-happen kind of a trip.
Anyway, I'm happy to report that I got 35 pages completed! It was a great escape from my daily routine and my face still hurts from laughing.
I'm having computer issues and i can't post any pictures right now. But I will try to update the post later with a few of my favorite layouts.
Happy Monday to you all.

Weekend Update - VA Beach Trip
Only Lisa M. is missing...she actually left early. WHY????? BTW I'm the one in blue.I'm back from my beach trip after a road trip from HELL yesterday. Instead of taking us 5 1/2 hours it took us 9 hours. I mean...can you say ouch. The highway was bumper to bumper, we tried an alternate route, we missed a road, we came upon a closed road. We just couldn't catch a break. Needless to say we were soo happy to be out of the car!
We had wonderful weather, tons of laughter and my sister and I even filmed a craft show...LOL It was so funny, but unfortunately I accidentally deleted ALL of the videos. There were four of them. I'm still trying to restore them, but so far I'm not having much luck. You may never know just how funny they were. I'm hoping that someone out there in cyberspace may be of some help.
Our toes and our cool socks. I'm the only one who picked orange....LOL
If you have ever deleted anything off of an SD card and wanted to restore it what software/freeware did you use. I had much luck with ZAR. It recovered all of my photos and for that I'm sooo thankful for, but unfortunately I only have a few seconds of each video. I'm not sure why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Weekend Update - Tons of scrapbooking, Loads of Fun
I made it to and from my weekend away safe and sound.
The trip didn't start out that well. I made it to the highway before I realized that I forgot all of the cricut cartridges (GASP). That added 20 minutes to my 2 1/2 hour trip. Traveling through Harrisburg on Friday never works out the way you want it too and then there was an accident on 81N that caused me to sit still much longer than I wanted too.
It took me almost four hours to get there, but I made it.
Shortly after we arrived, Megan and I learned that the closest Chili's was 56 miles away. Seriously!
So we took a chance with a tiny little Mexican place not far from the hotel and WOW...it was wonderful. I had a Pina Colada, Meg had a Margarita. There was even a mariachi (don't think I spelled that right) band!
We slept when we wanted to, ate when we wanted to, and drank what we wanted to. It was a very relaxing time. As usual, on Sunday, we stopped by the local Ms for some scrapbook stuff we needed and then had lunch at Wendy's.

My chicken fajita was EXCELLENT! When we got back to the hotel we stopped by the jacuzzi.
I completed 34 scrapbook layouts. I still need to add a few stickers and journal on a few of them, but otherwise...they are done! YEAH!

Friday High Five -- What I'm doing this weekend
Here are five things I hope to do:
- Go to Chili's for dinner tonight. I really like their mushroom Jack fatijas....not to mention their giant margaritas.
- Scrapbook six months of photos. That is not really possible, but it's good to have goals. LOL
- Get in the hotel jacuzzi! Self-explanatory.
- Call my sister every 15 minutes on Saturday to find out how things are going at the Walk to Defeat Juvenile Diabetes in Greenville, N.C.
- Sleep as long as I want!
P.S. Everytime I've clicked on my blog lately there has been a new follower! This makes me uber happy. If you aren't following, what's stoppin ya???

Gearing up for my scrapbook weekend, virtual walk!
I'm going away this weekend with my friend, Megan. She lives in upstate New York and we meet half way and scrapbook all weekend in a hotel. It is so much fun. The best part: We use our husband's travel points and stay for FREE!We try to do it twice a year. But in 2008 we were only able to meet once, in May. It's almost been a year since we've seen each other. I can't believe that.
Anywho, because of this, I'm getting excited. I'm packing up some of my stuff tomorrow. Getting my bag ready, making sure I have enough pictures and paper; Just got an order of adhesive so I should be set there.
My hubby is coming home a little bit early on Friday and then I'm gone.
Plus I'm "virtually" walking with my sister on Saturday at her local JDRF Walk. The walk is in Greenville, North Carolina and though I would love to believe that I have the ability (a.k.a. MONEY) to travel that far numerous times a year, it has become clear to me that I do not.

So the next best thing: I'll be staying with a dear friend and checking in with my sister every 15 minutes or so via text.
I WISH I COULD BE THERE!
