Ten Goals for 2010 (Southern Scrap Escape Edition)

I was reading a blog I like and came across her post, "Ten Goals for 2010".

It got me thinking about my goals...

For Southern Scrap Escape, I'd like to:

1. Finish my (will be 4 years old by the time it is the convention) middle child's "Favorite Moments" album, where I put all my favorite snapshots for each year...my oldest child's is caught up to age 5 (he is now 6) and my middle child doesn't have a page to call his own, though I do have the paper line and accessories purchased.
2. Find/purchase two new products I've never used that our vendors sale and use them in a layout.
   
3. Save $200 to use at the vendors :) (This will obviously have to happen BEFORE the convention, but it is a goal of mine still)
   
4. Go to the beach Sunday afternoon (it's not that far from the convention, so I think Sunday afternoon will be a great time to escape to the Gulf for a bit and end a fantastic weekend)
5. Journal on all pages I scrap. I do journaling by hand because I know I will never get around to typing them later.
6. Attend all the classes I can!
7. Eat at least three super unhealthy and deliciously worth every calorie treats :)
8. Meet a few new people and swap scrapbooking ideas.
9. Go to dinner with a group of new friends...it's going to be great to get to meet y'all!
10. Have a BLAST! No matter what else, I want to remember I scrapbook for me (as a retreat) and my family (as a way to preserve our memories and family history)

So, what are your ten goals for the convention, or just in general? Let's start the new decade off with a BANG!

Coming Soon...

Lynn and Kim are working hard on getting the official site up so you can sign up for the convention, find out about all the fabulous classes, and more!

A Sponsor!

Thank you Linda McClure of Deseret Designs, for donating a Creative Designs DVD !

Linda has some very innovative cake decorating techniques that she shares in this and her other DVD's. She even uses the cricut!

There will also be a demonstration at the convention as well.

Mark Your Calendars

Hey Ladies! It's time to start planning for the first ever Southern Scrap Escape, featuring Lisa Bearnson!

Mark your calendars for June 25-26, 2010, at the Cochran Center on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS.

Doors will open at 8 a.m. and we will be there until midnight each night.

Classes, giveaways, door prizes, and MUCH MORE. Email all your friends and tell them about the newest and best convention to hit the Gulf of Mexico.

Lisa will be doing a special presentation in the evenings and *might* even teach a class.

Stay tuned for complete details and web address so you can sign up to come to the BEST southern scrapbooking convention ever!

Vendors and Sponsors Needed

In planning for the Southern Scrap Escape, we'd like to ask you who you'd like to see as a vendor or sponsor. Leave a comment sharing your favorite shop or product and we will see what we can do. Also, feel free to share this information with your local vendor to see if they are interested in attending.

Already a vendor and want in on the action? Please email us at lynne.breland (at) gmail (dot) com for all the information on how you can have a spot at the best scrapbooking convention in the South!

Sponsors: We'd love any donations you are willing to share...paper or kits for our classes and goodie bags given at sign in, supplies, gift cards, etc. You don't have to just be a scrapbook related sponsor, either...we'd love gift cards to restaurants, home business donations (think a Pampered Chef goodie basket or gift certificate), etc. Got an etsy shop? Donate an item for our door prizes (we're shooting for one each hour!) and get exposure for your site.

All sponsors and vendors will be advertised on this site and included in our opening day packet of information.
