Scrap ETC 2008

Finally getting a chance to update the blog about our wonderful weekend in Nashville at ScrapEtc. So great to see all our peeps although there's NEVER enough time to just hang out. The Opryland Hotel is everything they say and more---a huge, beautiful and pricey facility. And we never set foot out of the building from the time we checked in on Thursday until we checked out on Sunday morning.
The event itself was great....loved Group C and our leader Brittany.....the classes were all projects that I actually want to finish....amazing teachers--Jenni, Heidi, Angelia, Gretchen, Wilna, Monique, and Vanessa. There were challenges--not enough time for meals and the SNL event was hopelessly disorganized, but overall a good time.

Thanks to everyone for signing the quilt --- looking forward to finishing it, raising lots of money for JDRF, and sending to live with someone special!
Spent Sunday and Monday visiting sites in Nashville. Got tix to the Evening Worship Event at the Ryman(part of Gospel Music Week) for Sunday night----an absolutely fantastic evening with Michael W. Smith and Israel Houghton as worship leaders. Even though we missed church on Sunday we went to church! Visited The Hermitage and Belle Meade Plantation, drove up to Scrappuccino and had dinner at the Loveless Cafe.
As you can tell, I've gotten a new camera!!! YEA!!!! Decided to take the plunge and get a Canon Digital Rebel XT I'll still fix the point-and-shoot but since I'm wanting to take better photos it made sense. More about its first outing next time!
We're off to the ballet!
Enjoy,
Janet
