Texas Retreat - June 2009

Oh My Gosh!!! I can't even begin to say just how wonderful the last few days were!! Keep in mind us 7 gals have NEVER met in the last 3-4 years, but it was as if we knew eachother perfectly! We were perfectly comfortable around eachother to be completely ourselves!!! From the burps, slips of the tongue, shopping cart rides, and anything else you can think of, there was NEVER a dull or awkward moment!!

Below are just a FEW of the pictures we took!

If you'd like to be part of this amazing family we have here on Have Your Way With Paper, follow the link and join us! We'd love to bring you in with open arms and embrace new members. You won't be sorry!

Don't forget, we will also be attending the Great American Scrapbook Convention. After all, that's one of the reasons for this trip!

We will all arrive on Friday, June 4th. Most of us will probably arrive by mid-afternoon. We will all meet up at the Drury Inn where we will check-in, go to our rooms, unpack whatever and fight over who gets what bed. Then, we'll probably meet in the lobby bar for our 3 complimentary alcoholic drinks. Afterwards, we'll head up to the suite (which I will be bunking in with Roe and Jenn) and enjoy our complimentary popcorn and sodas while eating some awesome pizza!!!

Saturday, June 5th, we will all meet up in the hotel Dining Room for a FULL breakfast, southern style!! Complete with hash browns, eggs, bacon, pancakes and much, much more!!! From there, we will head over to the Convention where we will all split up into groups or individuals and shop, shop, shop. At lunchtime, we will all eat together there and share what we have purchased and what great deals we found and where. Then, per Trisha's suggestion, we will watch this guy peel a banana ever so slowly as he prepares our smoothies. We will, then, continue with our shopping until we are all done or the convention closes. We will finish off the day with 3 more complimentary alcoholic drinks, popcorn and sodas as we head to our suite for a slumber party where we will share all our new goodies and laugh, giggle and relive our younger days as we get into pillow fights and freeze other's undies and.....oh, hold on.....sorry.

Sunday, June 6th, we will meet up in the hotel Dining Room again for our last full breakfast and fill up for the way home. Somewhere that afternoon, either before or just after lunch, we will all break and head home.

June 2009 HYWWP 1st Annual Get Together

June 4-6, 2009
Arlington, Texas
Great American Scrapbook Convention

AIRPORT:Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) airport is said the be the easiest and quickest. Jenny said it is only 10 minutes from the hotel we were looking at (Drury Inn) and just minutes away from the Convention center. The Convention is only $9 for the day - I believe - something close to that anyway.

ACCOMODATIONS:If we chose to stay at this hotel (THE DRURY INN) we would have
*a free hot breakfast - It's really good
*free dinner each night - We only stayed one night, but we had pizza (hand made good stuff), baked potatoes with the fixings, salad, dessert, drinks - cokes, tea, coffee, whatever you wanted.
*3 complimentary drinks during happy hour - you can take them to your room.
*free internet
*free LONG DISTANCE CALLS FROM YOUR ROOM up to an hour a day!
*access to a computer/internet
*pool

Anyway, it seems like a good choice to me with the free food - we won't have to worry about anything but lunch as an expense.
I THINK the hotel runs about $100 a night I THINK...but I will look more into that and come up with a close figure...I think I can find some coupons to cut down on that.
I really can't find a house that is more convenient or accommodating, but we have time and I'm up for suggestions:)
