Scrapgrlz

Hi there and welcome to Scrapgrlz Retreats! My name is Shell Mackay and I love to scrap!! Even more - I love organizing retreats for scrappers and their friends to come and have a fun weekend away and catch up on their projects. I have always strived to make my retreats affordable and accessible to all but still maintaining all the goodies you have come to expect.

		48 (or 72) hours of uninterrupted scrapping - can you imagine?? You get to leave out all your supplies and because I organize the room and the meals and all of that day to day stuff - all you have to think about is creative blissful scrapping! Retreats are held amidst the beautiful scenery of Old Oak Ranch (15 minutes from Sonora), and at Presentation Center in the Santa Cruz Mountains (just 10 minutes from Los Gatos). These places are so peaceful and relaxing - if you have scrappers block - then this is the place for you. Laughs, photos and memories of the weekend. You will be inspired by the scenery and the other scrappers, not to mention have a barrel of fun and meet lots of new scrapping friends.
....I had a wonderful time this weekend! You are doing so well with the retreat - Terri L .... Thanks again for another wonderful retreat - can't wait for September!! :) Cheryl S .... Thanks for a wonderful weekend...! You're the best!! Cory .... I had better get busy and sign up for the Sept. retreat. I can't believe all that I got done. It was lots of fun. Thanks again for a wonderful time. Meryl S ... Thanks for the great pictures and for all you did to make our retreat such a huge success. We had a ball. You are truly the HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST! Carmen S ..... I had a wonderful time at the Valentine Retreat and I just wanted you to know that I was thoroughly impressed and awed with the way you had everything organized and how you handled everything. (Karleen M)... Thanks for everything - it was one of the best weekends I have EVER had. (Beth W)... Thanks for hosting such a SUPER event. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to see you next year. Pat F .... I had a lovely time scrapping, visiting and eating. Old Oak Ranch is my favorite spot to scrap, as the scenery, trees, deer, turkeys are beautiful to look at. The meals were excellent and we had more than enough to eat. (Janis S) As always, my sister in law and I had a fabulous time. Ann and I sat with a great group of ladies and we laughed and scrapped like crazy. It was a lot of fun. Great job! (Mary B)
