Way back in October while scrapbooking together in Kentucky, Johnna, Keri, Jennifer, and I were talking about how great it would be to have a weekend to ourselves to just sit and scrapbook. Johnna offered us her house in Huntsville, and we decided to plan it for the three day weekend in January (MLK). Not wanting the boys to be completely left out, we decided that they should have fun too! So, all the boys met at our house in Mississippi! (Lizzie and Anna were not too thrilled when they figured out they were going to be the only girls at the BOYS weekend! We all arrived at different times to Johnna's house. Jennifer and John David arrived first, followed by Christy, then Julie, Keri, and Sara Kate. Melanie also joined us later in the weekend. We started out by celebrating the January 11th Birthdays--mine and Christy's! Johnna had made me a strawberry cake, and she had made an apple pie for Christy. We got lots accomplished over the long weekend---But I think Keri tied with Christy for the most pages finished---18 or 19!! Wow!! Johnna had all the meals planned and/or already made for us.....it was just a real treat! We hope to have a SCRAP-FAST 2008!
p.s. The boys had a great time too---Andrew, Lizzie, Anna, and Jonathan hosted Al and Luke,
Aaron, and even Andrew Davis dropped in for a bit!! The smoked and grilled meat (lots of it!) and played X-Box most of the time!
pps....One of the biggest accomplishments of the weekend is that several of us were inspired by Jennifer's snapping abilities! We also tried to whistle...... Some of us learned how to do these things for the first time!!

WOW! It looks like you girls had a blast at your "Scrap-Fast"! What a joy it must be to have such a wonderful family.
I was so excited to see something new. No wonder you waited so long, you had so much to say! Your pictures are great. Thanks for making me happy and updating.
Love, CC
Wow! That was a lot of catching up you did! Glad to see you found some high speed internet somewhere! I have gotten nothing done since Scrap-fast so we need to do it again soon!
Love,
Christy

Julie,
It sounds like you have been having a good time with friends and family. Last month, I went to a scrapbooking day at Celia's house and had a great time. I'm going to Chris' this month for one.
I'm glad things are well with you. Tell Jonathan that we said hello!
Miss you lots
Julie Dickson
