A Buckeye in Spartan Country

I'm here.

In Michigan.

East Lansing.

On the campus of Michigan State University......


wearing my Buckeye clothing!!!

I will say this. The facilities for this retreat are great! The price was right and I'm having a fantastic time with my SS friends.

Although I'm not the only Buckeye here :) There's Benita, a Buckeye fan from Columbus, and Susan, a Buckeye fan from Rochester Hills, MI. Although she's not a Buckeye fan, we've also got Beth from Girard, OH.

We've come from all over. Christy from Ontario. Judy from Wisconsin. Amy, Sharon, Mary, Jody, Diane and Tiffany from Michigan.

But, the best moment so far was the serenading of the Buckeyes by Tiffany's 4-year old daughter via cell phone.... Had to love her rendition of Hail To The Victors!

Everyone is having a great time laughing, talking and scrapping....

That alone makes it worth being a Buckeye visiting Michigan :)

Scrap Share Retreats

I love scrapbooking. I have found a home at ScrapShare, a message board community devoted to scrapbooking.

So what am I doing this weekend?

I'm driving 3 1/2 hours to meet up with 11 other people from SS and spend the weekend scrapbooking!!!

Am I crazy or what? We've all heard and read the horror stories about internet meetings.....

I'm still going to do it. I have met one of these girls already, so it is really only 10 I don't know. But, yet, I feel that I do know them. I read their posts every day. I've read about their good times, their bad times and their opinions on anything and everything. I've shared with them also. Some of them I feel I know better than some of my blood relatives.....

I'm excited! So excited that I probably won't be able to sleep. Heck, I haven't slept well all week thinking about everything I need to do for this weekend and the weekend itself!

This time tomorrow I will be scrapbooking, laughing and having a heck of a time with my new-old friends from SS.

I'm ready.....


well, except for the pesky thing called packing......
