My dear friend Karalee invited me to stay with her in her very own 2 bedroom suite at the Marriott Newport Coast Villas. I could only get away for 2 days / 1 night but we made every second count! We started out early Saturday morning stopping briefly (HA!) at a Scrapbook Store in Hunington Beach (to stock up of course) and then having lunch at Olive Garden. We then drove on to the Newport Beach Temple and did initiatories. What a beautiful little temple that is. Then we drove on to the resort and after a a quick tour of the resort we unpacked (our scrapbook supplies, that is!) and got right down to business. Karalee is such a talented Scrapbooker that she easily inspired me to spend a little more time on my pages and enjoy the little "doo dads" and details that make a scrapbook page more like a work of art.
Then, we took a break for dinnerat CA Pizza Kitchen and just had to order the ever so decadent six layer slice of choc. cake from P.F. Changs and took it back to our room to help "get us through" the night of scrapbooking. he he
The next day we attended the NP 1st ward Sacrament meeting, then relaxed pool side until my sad departure home. I can't thank Karalee enough for such a good time.
