OOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGoodness! The BEST... I walked off everything I ate I think. One end of the ship to the other everyday plus the bahamas,virgin islands, and puerto rico walking. I took over 250 pics and will post them tomorrow in the webshots album. The food was fantastic, beutiful displayed and most tasted good. Room service was wonderful. The ports were great. But hte best was the meeting Anna griffin and doing scrapbooking stuff. I did get seasick the first night out but they give everyone a pill for it. Just unbelieveable. Got to meet a pen pal in the bahamas that I have had for 26 years!!!.
First night was the welcome party. maybe 50+ people there. Several were repeats. One set of ladies there from 2cruise to this 9th cruise with this group. The classes were wonderful and hands on. Did 6 pages in Anna's class. Had pajama party crop and won a prize of an album. I got several gifts coming to the welcome party, then coming in the classroom you get what you work on and might even get a few extras. We got a few page kits at the formal dining night waiting in our chairs. The demo and take night was great. GOt an album we covered, a mug with Anna griffin paper in it at her make and take table. Plus 3 extra mugs as time went by. Next set of classes won another door prize and got more goodies. The last party i was a bit late and found out that my 12 x 12 page that I submitted (45-50 entries) I got
3rd place. I won a caddy of somekind that I will use for Zen's diaperbag, and several Anna griffin items. Anna turned around and told me that y page was one she routed for the most. I felt like "WOW". She was so very nice. I got her to take a pic with Darrell and I the first night we saw her. then one of the pages in her class I got her to autograph so I can place her pics on it. We also got more stuff for free at this closing party. Darrell and I had to buy another suitcase to get home I had so much. The other teachers were wonderful and nice too.We are planning on going on the next cruise. The 10th annual. It is in March
9-16th of next year. It is with Holland America cruise lines. If I got this much stuff from the 9th annual cruise, just imagine the 10th annual one. We will go to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, Grand Cayman, and Costa Maya. It is $1275 for the scrapper and less for your hubbies to travel with you. If you plann to go ????....bring your hubbies so they have each other to talk to as we will be scrappin. Myhubby just went to deck 12 and stared at deck 11...lol ....Pool was on Deck11. We were kept so busy I was taking cat naps in between everything. It was well worth the amount. We spent less then $1200 on extra things. Would love to have a few from this group go!!!!!!! Get your passports now!! As far as I know Anna did her last cruise for the 9th. but 2 of the other teachers are returning.Look in the Spring 2007 issue of Scrapbooking and Beyond. On pages 22-23 and see the huge one page ad. Also there is a contest to win this cruise for free.
