Just wondering if anyone here has been to a Scrapbooker's Dream Vacation? I have been to 2 (both in Camp Hill, PA). Looking forward to going to that one again.

If you are also planning on going -- maybe we can meet up?

I'm signed up for the Saturday crop session for the one in MA - June 7th. It should be a lot of fun! I've never been to one of theirs before so I'm really looking forward to a day to myself doing SB!
 
I went to the 3 day Myrtle Beach one last November, and it was great. A few things I learned: go the night before. It starts at 9:00 am and we drove over (3 hr trip) early that morning, but by the time we got there, got checked into the hotel, got our stuff over to the scrapping place, ate lunch, it was 3:00 or so. We had shot the whole day. They have wonderful die cut machines with so many potential die cuts. I especially liked and used the one that's the same as the Disney font. Also lots of unique border die cuts. But everyone else had the same idea, and I spent lots of time waiting in line. On the final (Sunday) morning, lots of people cleared out and the lines disappeared. Next time, I'll wait until the last day unless I need something specific for what I'm working on.

It was a real blast (but exhausting). The day we got there, our table of 3 already had 6 people who had been working since 9:00 that morning. When we left at 10:00 that night, several of them were still there. When I got back at 7:00 the next morning, two of them had been there all night. We will be going again next November, for sure.
 

I have always wanted to do one of these exp. since the Central PA ones are literally in my back yard. The last few years however the timing has been BAD. One of these days...!!!!! I did a 2 day crop in State College about 2 years ago that was not SDV and met some wonderful people and had a blast just cropping all day. So it is definitely something I am looking forward to doing again!
 
Scrapbooker's Dream Vacations are coordinated by a company called Dream Events. The website is:

It is basically a weekend vacation for scrapbookers. You get a seat in the crop room (picture a hotel ballroom filled with tables with hundereds of scrapbookers) for 24 hours a day -- just set your stuff up and come and go as you please. There are a variety of vendors there (lots of LSS's, CMC's, stamping consultants, etc.). You can make appointments for a massage. There are a variety of great classes as well as some free make and takes. Everyone gets a door prize. Lunch and dinners are also included. It is tremendous!

Most of the weekends are Fri, Sat, Sun, but the Camp Hill, PA one is Thurs through Sun. Love it! Registration for this one hasn't started yet, but it sells out quickly (we're talking within an hour or two).

Great time away working on my scrapbooks!

You mean you don't want to give birth there? That might make the weekend interesting!!!

It is a 3 day weekend of scrapbooking. They have a number of options to choose from - starting at 1 "local" crop day to arrive Friday 1st thing and stay through until Sunday evening. It is particularly known for its crop/punch station with hundreds of die cuts and punches you can use. They also have themed classes all weekend which cost a bit more.

I am signed up for just the Saturday Crop and it entitles me to a reserved seat at a crop table from 9am Saturday until I leave for the night (as late as 8 am Sunday - if I could stay up that long!) Also they will have a buffet lunch and dinner as well as snacks. The classes haven't been posted yet but I will most likely sign up for 1 or 2 as well.

As I said - I haven't been to one of theirs yet but I am really looking forward to it!
