A Scrappy Kind of Weekend...aka Wish I Was at Disney!

What a wonderful weekend I had!  I spent the weekend in Durham at a scrapbooking retreat.  A whole weekend dedicated to scrapbooking, no cooking, no housework, hanging out with friends, doing what I want to do!  Now that is a nice weekend!  I worked mostly on Disney pages while I was there which made me really wish I was heading to Disney World at some point this year.  Unfortunately, it will be 2011 before we get close to Orlando again.  Here are some of the pages that I completed this weekend...



There's more in this album...
Here's a couple that didn't make it into the album quite yet.

 

There are hundreds of Disney photos left from that trip.  I believe it will keep me busy for quite some time!

Interesting Things Seen While Geocaching

I went geocaching with my friend Lisa while the goal of picking up squares 18, 19, and 20 for the DeLorme Challenge.  We saw so many interesting things along the way, which is one of the main reasons why I love geocaching so much.

This two are from an old plantation, named Stagville Plantation. The white house is the owner's home while the 2nd picture are slave quarters, called Horton Grove. At this site are the only two-story slave residences remaining in North Carolina. Skilled slave craftsmen took great care in building these quarters by including shuttered windows, brick fireplaces, and stone foundations. 





Here's me at a RockCity that someone built. I can only imagine the time it took to put this together.


This is in Hillsborough NC, next to a landscape business. It is the one of the few times that I've felt so small LOL! High Point (near by) is known for furniture and I've seen other large pieces closer to that city. Didn't realize that Hillsborough had something like this too. 



And here's a picture of me at Bahama Ruritan Club in Bahama, NC




And just in case you think I'm joking....




I always thought I should have my own club LOL!
