i spent last weekend getting my degree in.....

scrapbooking arts....no kidding....A Bachelor of Scrapbooking Arts. at the dearborn hyatt regency...at creating keepsakes university. a real degree with a mortarboard and a diploma and everything..(including tuition$$$). i went with my friend and hairdresser lianne shown with me as we show off our diplomas. we went from thursday to saturday and had a blast. three days of scrapbooking classes, shopping, crops and meeting up and reconnecting with old friends. we took classes like digital scrapbooking, photography, wicked scrapbooking techniques, etc.

i saw some old friends, some of whom i didn't expect to see....like allison who i met two years ago in wisconsin at a scrapbooking event. how fun it was to see her again. and ali edwards....whom i've met a few times and it is always great to see her too. love ya, girlie...our hotel room was very nice but in a perpetual state of chaos the entire weekend. we just kept collecting more stuff. every class we went to we got more stuff. every store we went to we got more stuff. and when i packed the car to go home, i had way more stuff than i left home with....but that's okay...in fact it was good. but what is up with hotel rooms and their price gouging........... c'mon...$5.00 for a bottle of water??? good thing there was a target and a grocery store nearby. we bought our own dang water. at least it was a very quiet hotel, probably the quietest i have ever slept in. and clean....i didn't get too creeped out about germs in this room.
i guess i should have gotten a picture of the room after housekeeping got through with it. it was really nice. i want to thank my wonderful husband for agreeing to shell out the $600.00 it cost me for this wonderful weekend of fun (and schooling) after all, i did earn a degree..........
