Mid-January I'll be heading to Atlantic City for 3 days of nonstop polymer clay. I did it last year and it was great! Neil had to initially convince me that I would survive being separated from the family for that long, but I'm really glad that he talked me into going. Now I wouldn't miss it

Any of you ever take any creative getaways? What are they like?

I got 23 pages done last year so I'm excited. It's very low key, at a summer camp, you sleep in cabins with a few other women. But it's really fun. I'm looking forward to it.

I hope you have lots of fun too! I'm loving your bracelet, btw. Everytime someone comments on it I tell them to go to your webpage

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it? Eleanor Roosevelt

Only we are in a hotel. Outside Atlantic City in January you can get pretty cheap rooms So, we stay in a Days Inn, everybody pays for their own room (some people double-up, but I prefer to get my own so that I can have a little time to myself, which I rarely get at home!) and then we all chip in for the "common room" that we work in. That only amounts to an extra $20 or so. It's really an inexpensive getaway with plenty of payoff.

I'm still trying to decide what I want to work on. I have a project in mind that I need to get done by March, but I don't know if that's how I want to spend my getaway or not.

When your crop is over, you should come back here and post a few pictures to show us what you did!

Oh, and I'm glad you're enjoying your bracelet. I'm thinking of making more of them in that color scheme, because I really liked yours when I was making it!

Have had your daily dose of Polka Dots?

Lots of fun. I didn't get quite as much done as last year but I had a good time. Here is my scrapbook.com gallery:

I like your layouts, especially the Ben one with the spaceships and the one with circles/buttons. Those are "my" colors

My weekend was nice - I posted about it in another thread here. Soon I hope to scan & post some pictures.
