I can't even imagine trying to fly to a scrapbooking retreat. There is so much stuff I like to have available. Luckily, I am driving. Actually...quite a few of us are.
I am going to offer up my cardstock collection. I will bring in a P3 full of cardstock. All colors. (probably not much bling, but a lot of Bazzil for sure). I will leave it open for all to use. I will truly open it for all to take as needed, but I will put a small cup on the top for those who feel obliged to leave 40 or 50 cents for any sheets they take. This offer is open to all coming to the retreat, driving or flying.
What other things would those of you flying like to have available? I'm sure that those of us driving can bring things for you to either use or purchase if that makes sense.
I know Minda and I will each have a box of freebies. This will be ends of embellishments and sticker sheets, ribbons we are done with, buttons, die cut sheets with one or two left (you get the idea). These would be available for all to rummage through. At my last two retreats I have made pages mostly with Minda's "leftovers" and she loved them. (as did I).
So... I can keep a checklist with "open" supplies available. You are not obligated to participate, but I thought it might help out our flyers. Let me know if you are bringing something that will be open for general use. Let us know if you need something.

I'm not sure what I'd be able to offer like that but I am always willing to give up stash for someone if I have that perfect little thing that will complete their layout.
I flew to TX for a retreat and preplanning is key. Having all my pages planned out helped tremendously.
There also is a LSS about 15-20 minutes away from the retreat that I frequent so if anybody needs anything ROADTRIP
Awkward...um in the past retreats I always have brought a big box of giveaways, and probably that is where nancy got the idea I'd be doing it again, but for those of you who have seen my stuff, I don't really have too many extras anymore. I do hope to bring a set of my favorite tiny letters for each of you to get you hooked (and maybe talk Christine into ordering them!) and of COURSE my policy is always the same as angelas, if I have something you need, I LOVE to share!
Anyway, sorry Nancy that my days of splendor are gone, but sure glad you got to benefit from them when they were here!
Great Idea...we often make a list of the bigger tools and such that we are bringing so we can save precious packing space...
I will bring my EK Success Cutter Bee circle cutter with the glass mat for anyone to use. I will just have it on a table at the back of the room. :)
COOL! THANK YOU!! As most of you know, I'm planning ahead by packing for specific pages. I THINK I will be able to narrow it down OK that way... but just knowing that there will be STUFF for those things I FORGOT... I'll bring a roll of quarters!! lol
Do you all just want me to pack up my scraproom? I was planning on it anyways!LOL! I have 8 cropper hoppers full of paper if you can't find something in there then you are SOL!!
I will also be bringing my Cricut and Revolution.
Well gee Minda, I guess I could have talked to you before I assumed you would bring a box of leftovers.. sorry for presuming.
I guess I'll have to bring 2 boxes worth to make up for it. ;-)
