Scrapbook Generation is now accepting deposits for either of its two "marathon" scrapbooking weekend retreats this fall, in Branson Oct. 5-7, and in Eureka Springs, Arkansas Nov. 2-4.

The new retreat location in Branson is the Branson Inn, located near Silver Dollar City on Highway 76. It offers more room than our fall retreat last year. We will be returning to the same great location in Eureka Springs, Inn of the Ozarks, only two hours from Springfield.

Both locations offer huge crop rooms, but we are limiting enrollment to 50 scrappers at each site in order to continue to provide a quality experience, including themed decorations, favors, and homemade treats.

All-inclusive prices are $225 per person for four in a hotel room, $235 per person for three in a room, $245 per person for two in a room, and $285 for one in a room. The fee includes two nights lodging, all meals, snacks, and drinks, ample crop space, and use of a die-cut center.

Classes will be available for an additional charge, and both locations will feature at least three classes taught by Allison Davis, 2007 "Creating Keepsakes" Hall of Fame member.

Each person will receive a generous amount of scrapbooking products as prizes. And if you need more, we will have a store on-site where you can purchase cardstock, papers, adhesives, ribbons, embellishments, and more.

Last fall's retreat sold out prior to the deadline, so early registration is highly recommended. For either retreat, a $50 non-refundable deposit is due by June 22. You can pay at Scrapbook Generation or by phone.

Letters with class choices and contest categories will be mailed in July and August. The remaining balance and class fees are due August 15 for Branson, and September 15 for Eureka Springs.
