12 hour scrap

My first scrap meet occurred yesterday.  The organiser is my CM consultant who I have been attending to either her home or other venues for the past eight years, hosted this 12 hour event at her child's local school staffroom. Consider the size of the staffroom, there was 22 ladies crapped inside this room to work on their own projects for 12 hours.  There was only one lady who showed up six hours late as she had a prior commitment to attend to that day. 

Yes... it is normal work day for some people but most of the ladies who attend to our regular meets are teachers who currently on summer holidays. And they had the advantage to attend to a 12 hour workshop with their co-workers. There was only a couple of ladies who aren't teachers so they had to organise a day off work to be able to come along and scrap.  It makes me wonder if their employer really knew what their employees really got up to on their unexpected day off after having time off during the festive season break.

Most groups have their own little group members who sit together to chat and scrap but I am the only outsider who just gets dumped and sits with whoever has a spare chair to sit at the table with.  Unfortunately the majority of the group I sat with yesterday weren't really user friendly when it comes to conversations. Working alone was a good advantage point to get the motivation to complete many pages I intend to participated on the day.  

This year my resolution is to work on completing projects I started on sometime ago.  Yesterday I worked on two eight inch albums which I managed to finish off one album. My consultant did have a couple of workshop demos for any of us to try out but I already spent a week at home preparing the pages I wish to work on for 12 hours.

Also our consultant had raffle tickets on offered which we had to try to earned for free.  I never really bothered with any of the offers because I never win anything from these meets.

I already won a scrap challenge from other sources.  It was a challenge I entered online last month.  My winnning prize came in the mail just before I walked out the door.  I was so over the moon with what I received which I am sure my goodies will come in handy to use at some point.

Back to normal scrap meets and workshops doesn't resume back until the new year of schooling starts in late January.
