Just a Fun Scrapbook Weekend!

English Fox Hunt Suite
There is another small suite downstairs.

Last weekend some of my friends and I went scrapbooking at The 1887 Hanson House Bed & Breakfast in Sandy.  We rented out their English Fox Hunt Suite (which is a separate building from the main house) for the weekend.  The suite included a full kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, upstairs loft and a living room with enough space for six scrapbookers.  Fran, the owner of the bed & breakfast served us two delicious hot breakfasts.  We prepared the rest of the meals ourselves.

It was a fun, relaxing weekend and we all got lots of scrapbooking done.

The Hansen House is a beautiful historic home with many beautiful antiques.  Please see their website if you would like more information.  www.hansenhouse.com

Breakfast served in the main house.

Fran the owner and a nice hostess!

Get More Scrapbooking Done!!

More scrapbooking is what we did at my New Year's Retreat!!  And, we did it with scrapbooking cheer!!  With the help of my two friends, Julie and Lisa, everything went great!

New location, new ladies and an inhouse store to boot! I had 90 ladies come to this retreat and it was so fun. This is the largest retreat I have had!  I will admit it, I was a bit nervous but everything went wonderfully! The Comfort Suites staff was great to work with and very accommodating with our needs. I met so many nice and fun ladies. I had lots of my regular ladies come too! 

The Scrapbook Clearance Outlet provided us with lots of scrapbooking supplies and some unbeatable bargains! At the end of the retreat they were having deals we couldn't pass up. I had a few ladies tell me they had fun just shopping at the retreat! Dora and Cheryl did a great job and had a cute set up with all of their supplies.

The barn was just a glimmer
in the artists' eye!

We had a wonderful time having our barn house in the Holiday Home show!  Everyone enjoyed the amazing work of the conversion from a real barn to a beautiful barn house.  Gary and Becky Baron are the creative artists who converted the barn 15 years ago.  I invited both of them to come to the home show to visit and to take the honor of building the "master piece."  They also brought over their "before and during construction" pictures for everyone to see.

We had about 200-300 people come through the home.  Everyone enjoyed all the fun Christmas decorations and the antiques throughout the home.  Some also enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate.  It was such a pleasure seeing everyone having such a nice time and "oohing and awhing" throughout the home.  There were even some "oohing" as they stepped into the shed outback that was converted into my scrapbook workshop.  It too is filled with antiques and decorated to make you feel at home. 

I hope you enjoy the "before and during construction" photos of the home. It is quite amazing!  You will see more pictures of inside the home if you keep scrolling down to the previous post.  You may also want to "click" on the pictures to see them in a larger view.
