Celebrate Good Times...

Once a year, sometimes twice, me and some of my girlfriends who scrapbook get together to spend the weekend scrapbooking. We have been doing it for 9 years now and it is something we all look forward to. My friend Michele's parents have a cabin in Greenwood Lake, NY which is the location we go to. It is about 30 minutes from my house. In the past we have made a couple road trips out of the weekend to Maryland and Pennsylvania to friends homes who join us each year but have moved away.

It is a weekend of getting away from everything, scrapbooking our memories which is digitally for me, eating some of our favorite snacks (we even have some food traditions we have to have) and being with the girls.

We had a lot to celebrate this year, hence the party hats, blowers and leis. We always like to make our group shot fun. Our friend Lisa just came through 4 months of chemotherapy for a rare form of cancer called gestational trophoblastic disease. Plus, 3 of the girls are pregnant (Susie, Christy and Amanda). Unfortunately Christy and Amanda couldn't make for the weekend because they were sick. We missed them being with us.

This time around we got several inches of snow on Saturday. Thankfully it was a light snow and could easily clean off our cars. It sure was pretty coming down.

We have such a great time and lots and lots of laughs. I always leave the weekend relaxed and refreshed. This weekend was no exception.
