Great time planning events 2008 and scrappin' staff

2008-01-08T10:56:00.000-08:00

Wow! What a beautiful weekend to have a staff retreat and planning time.
We have a great year planned for all of you with more in the making for our VIP members.
We were warm by the fireplace, yet enjoyed sitting outside on the deck. The weather was just to pretty to stay in all the time. Janett and Scralett got mud on their shoes as they walked on the beach. They really did wade in the water.
I think we did about 40 pages abd a couple of Bind it all albums. Food was great and the love of the staff is so very special. What a blessing to have staff work together. Look at the website soon for all the dates and events you will want to write in your calendar.

Family Time

2008-01-01T08:03:00.000-08:00

I loved having the family in the home this Christmas. Debbie, Steve,Scott and Ashley pulled in and the thrill of family moved in too. The music went on the other "real" tree went up. The family receipe for cookies got rolling and the camera flashing. Mike got me a Sony video camera (watch out everyone.. I am likin' it)and the family history is going live! The day they left my wonderful son Rick and one of my grandsons, Johnny arrived. More food, fun and laughter. I took him out for a special grandson shopping trip.
Things I loved about the visits: evening prayers with the family, making more memories, going to the tea house with the girls, seeing Santa and being family. Spending time with my Mike before everyone got up and enjoying our time together. Things I am looking forward to in 2008. More time with him. I plan on being in his boat on the lake early in the morning with the coffee and enjoying us. Travel will happen more.

Son Troy update

2007-11-20T06:03:00.000-08:00

I talked to Troy yesterday and because he can slowly walk with his cane and because he can now squeeze a ball (but can't hold a cup or move his arm) they shut down therapy. Insurance stuff. He's scared, not happy but continues to try working at home by himself. Keep him in your prayers. He is alone way to much when his wife is working and the kids in school. Depression has set in. I am talking with him daily to touch base and keep him motivated. mama Bonnie

The Fall Scrapbook Village Retreat was FANTASTIC!

2007-11-12T08:27:00.000-08:00

Oh my gosh! The retreats just get better with every one that passes. As the gals started coming in it was like a great reunion. Seeing old friends and making new ones, catching up on your families and your lives was great. Just like the scrapbooks we are making, looking back and sharing was wonderful.

The TV station WPBM was there Friday night with Jann Saulsberry, star of "It's what you make it". She is fun, delightful and everyone that took her class loved it. She has agreed to come once a month from Tennessee and teach a fun class.

Lisa with Kaiser crafts and Bazzill also came and spent the retreat weekend with us. She taught a class and did many make and takes at no charge. Her recipe book class was just fantastic! She will be coming back this Friday and Saturday with Bazzill.

The classes, laughter and amazing scrapbooking and paper crafting that took place was awesome.

Our Saturday night Pajama Party was silly and crazy as always. Each group had a style of their own, made a name for their group and had PJ costumes. Larger groups that participated were the "Prisoners of Scrapbook Village", first time attendees "Bo Bunnies" from Barbourville (winner), "Scrapin Deers" from Louisville, "Scrappers Anatomy" (following a theme from Gray's Anatmony) and the "Scrappin with the Stars" were just a few of the outfits. Watch the website for photos coming soon.

The Queens and Princesses were the winners of the page contests. We had a Queen of the Crop for each category: Beginning scrapbooking, intermediate scrapbooking and advanced scrapbooking. Fabulous entries from everyone. Thank you to all who participated!

We the staff at Scrapbook Village just giggled and enjoyed all of you . . . all the time. You are awesome!!!

It is a blessing for me to see all of you. Your support and your love and sharing your life with me, fullfills the mission God has for me at Scrapbook Village.
