Going on a retreat

I've been a bit quiet recently but that is hopefully about to change. Tomorrow I am leaving to make the 2.5 hour drive up to Noosaville to participate in my very first scrapbooking retreat! I'm nervous because I wont know anyone and I've never gone away on a retreat before but also excited about getting a chance to spend a whole weekend focused on crafting. Cathy Cafun will be doing a class on Saturday morning so I'm hoping to learn a new technique or two.

 

If anyone has any tips in what to bring or what to leave behind for a retreat I would very much like to hear them.

 

Also, I wanted to share a competition going on over at The Scrapbook Store this month:

There are 3 fabulous Kaisercraft Collections up for grabs so we are having a Grab Our Blinkie competition for the month of October to spread the word about The Scrapbook Store. The packs are full ranges including stamps, stickers, specialty papers, rubons and more! Valued at approximatel $40 each plus free postage.
