This past weekend my sisters and my Mom had a "Scrapping and Stamping Getaway Weekend".
We all met at a hotel in Indianapolis (the mid-point between us all) and spent all of our time working on our scrapbooks and Christmas cards.
My Christmas cards are just about finished, which is way too early for me. I'll probably change my mind about the design and decide to do new ones two weeks before Christmas.
This was my second 'hotel-crop', and I would strongly suggest this if you can get away for a night or two.
We met at the hotel on Friday night and left Sunday at noon. All of the hours in-between were for scrapping, stamping, sleeping or eating.
If you plan a getaway like this, I have a few suggestions:
- Choose a hotel that has a nice lobby or common areas. After working for a couple of hours, you'll need to get up and walk around.
- If you're going to share the room with someone, get a 2-room suite. This way you can work into the early morning hours in one room, and your roommate can turn off the lights and sleep in the other.
- Call the front desk and ask them to deliver a banquet table to your room. There is typically a small charge ($20 for my trip over the weekend) but it is well worth it to be able to spread your supplies out and have plenty of workspace.
- Make sure the hotel has a restaurant/bar that you'd like to eat at several times. You don't want to waste precious time leaving the hotel for meals.

Hey, next time you plan one of these, check out Creative Resort on the southside. We won't have hotel rooms (that's up the street), but we will have plenty of space and tools so you don't have to lug everything with you.
Thanks for sharing about your weekend. I've always thought it would be fun to do - and your tips sound very helpful. Have a great Christmas!
