A weekend in Whistler!!

 

Just spent the last weekend in Whistler holed up in a condo with 4 other women, a stack of movies, candy, chocolate, alcohol, good conversation, laughter, and of course tons of scrapping time. 4 of us took a break from 2:30 or 3:30 am until 9am. But one of our friends...2 hours of sleep each night, wow! Other then hitting the hot tub Saturday evening, and standing on our deck watching a bear meander down the ski hill....we stayed in and scrapped. Other times we have stepped out for a few hours at a time, walking, window shopping ect, but this time everyone was happy to stay put. I didn't mind since my walking tolerance is from the door to the elevator these days. So that many scrapping hours meant lots of layouts done! Also being {inter}National Scrapbooking Day on the Saturday, we had lots of challenges to keep us motivated. We even did a round of challenges where we gave each other a challenge hitting some of our 'weaker' areas. Whether it was use 4 pattern paper on a layout for the cardstock loving scrapper, or cardstock only for the pattern paper lover (me), or using circles for the clean and simple scrapper, or using a sketch for the non-sketch user, to lastly using stuff on your layout with the letters "whistler" (white cardstock, h-, ink, stickers, twine ect...see I couldn't even come up with a h thing...good thing that wasn't my challenge)...anyways we made it a fun day...and weekend!
