it's also a time to eat, drink and talk. and talk some more. then eat. then drink. oh, and listen to music. we sleep too, except for when the smoke alarms decide to start chirping - at 5am (WHY do they always do that?)
so first - get someone else to pack the car, because quite frankly, you suck at it.
find somewhere fabulous and restful in which to scrap.
get well set up
stay connected (for rugby score updates)
eat (and drink well)
and above all - dress well. ooops.
maybe we should re-name the scrappy weekend 'the schlumpadinka weekend'
usually we get all gussied up and 'lunch' on the saturday afternoon. lunch has previously turned into an afternoon's shopping at the local craft stores and taken up to 5 hours, thereby seriously cutting into our scrapping time.
this weekend we 'pushed on through', scrapping like mad things all day. around 4.30 we decided to get some country air, so decided to go for a walk...
in our pyjamas
because we can
even though we were on a back country road, it is also the main road to mt holdsworth, the entrance to a local forest park, and nature reserve. ergo - we got lots of weird looks from the locals.
like we cared
PS: edited to add (by miss 16): see the resemblance? bit scary...

Hi Sue!
WOW, it DID look like you were having a good time away...what FUN! And the resemblance to the rodent trio? Frightening...
I say there is nothing better than a day in which you can relax in PJ's all day- and wowsa on the resemblance- very goo miss 16!
Yeah, that's just got FUN written all over it, right down to the Chipmunks whom I still have a soft spot in my heart for.
Ah, the glory years, eh?
Sounds like fun.
Shlumpadinka...is that a New Zealand term?
LOL, you didn't mean to look like the chipmunks??? Seriously? Too funny. I think it is cute you are in your pj's. How comfy. Looks like lots of fun was had!

That is my kind of weekend! I really like the comparison photo too! How cool!
HAHA! That last bit with the Chipmunks is awesome! And the 'the schlumpadinka weekend' ? Best word I've read all week. If I am understanding the word, I think I AM schlumpadinka. :)
Sounds like a lot of fun. Scary how close the resemblance it. :D
Love the PJ pics and totally see the chipmunk resemblance. :) That sounds like so much fun.
Oh, that sounds like fun! I get to go on a scrap booking retreat next weekend with my mom! I am SO EXCITED!!!! WE do it twice a year... at least. And my husband is awesome enough to watch the kids... for the whole weekend. Yours looked fun and cozy, ours isn't as cozy.
Yall are just to cool for school... or what ever! Good times!
Looks like it was so much fun!
I am envious on several levels. First that you took a girl overnight and did something creative! That you found a getaway place you love! and that you did it all in your PJs! Yeah for you!
I love your humor..the picture walking down the lane is my favorite!
OMGoodness. Looks like you guys had a blast. Did you get lots of scrapping done?
I love the comparison! That is too funny!
What a great time. My friends and I are doing one in November, we're going to a friends house, but I can't wait.
That looks like a fun weekend--what a great idea! I love the pj's pictures. LOL
That looks like a great time! I'm quite jealous.
And, the Alvin and the Chipmunks resemblance is uncanny.
scrapping and having fun in your PJs should be compulsory I reckon! Looks like the right kind of weekend to me.... looks like a fab spot you got.
And the resemblence? Yeah, totally getting it!!
WOW! Looks like a fab weekend to me! Makes me want to go find me my own Simon and Theodore-although I think I am more of a Theodore than an Alvin..sigh..
Looks like a fun weekend. And I LOVE the resemblance to the chipmunks:)
That sounds like a wonderful time!! And I love your fashion sense! :)
hee hee i do see a bit of a resemblance. Fabulous jams, btw.
You know, I think you're last scrap away weekend was on of the first posts I read at your blog? I remember a giant animal sculpture of some kind that was covered in cobwebs and a bunch of fancy scrappy ladies? Happy scrap away. Looks like fun.
Hey, there are worse people to look like than the Chipmunks! It looks like a fun day.
Happy SITS-S-S!
I would love a girls weekend away. And stay in my PJ's. Beautiful scenery!
And here is my post for SITS Saturday Sharefest.
