2017 National Scrapbook Day Island Getaway - Pirates, Pirates!!



Friday, May 5, 2017 - Sunday, May 7, 2016

Yo Ho Ho

Whether you are a Buccaneer or a Landlubber, it’s all hands on deck as we hoist our Jolly Roger and batten down the hatches for a weekend of adventure - will you be lucky enough to find your pieces of eight or end up walking the plank?

We are so excited to be returning to the Courtyard Marriott in San Jose, California for our 2017 National Scrapbook Day Island Getaway. Shiver me timbers! This is our fourth year holding our National Scrapbook Day event at this hotel and we have made this year's event even better - we have added a new option this year!!! If you want to guarantee that you have an end spot, you are in luck!

Cost: $269

Hold your spot with a deposit of only $125!!! (only available if registered by March 20th, 2017) 

Your weekend will include:  

Debbie Vaccaro as your hostess all weekend
A table with lots of room for you and all your creative goodies
Create Friday from 1:00 pm until you drop
Create Saturday from 8:00 am until whenever you want to stop
Create Sunday from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm
Lots of creating time...how many hours is up to you!!!!!! (nobody says you have to sleep.....)
Snack on Friday night (can you say "fresh baked cookies"?) 
Buffet Dinner on Saturday night
Snack on Sunday **
We will have a special project for you
Seat Favors
Perhaps a prize or two ;-)
On-site store for all your shopping needs
We will be bringing our Cricut (with all our cartridges) and Tim Holtz Vagabond
You will be responsible for dinner on Friday evening, and lunch both Saturday and Sunday. The hotel is located within walking distance to several restaurants with many more only a few minutes card ride away. The Bistro, located in the hotel, offers health choices, a variety of breakfast and dinner options, an evening bar, and specialty beverages made with Starbucks coffee. 

** if you choose to stay at the hotel, breakfast is included (if no more than 2 per room)

New for 2017: Guaranteed End Table Seating!!!

Cost: $30

Do you have a wagon or large rolling tote you plan to bring? Please note that the hotel has become much stricter regarding clear walkways in the crop room. This is for everyone’s safety, so we will be asking you to help meet their standards. As such, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to “park” your wagon or large rolling tote anywhere other than under your table. In other words, you may not be able to use the space next to table ends or along a wall behind you to store your items if a walkway is considered blocked. 

Still want to have a wagon full of supplies next to you? We have reserved 8 tables on ends that we will guarantee “parking” for your wagon or large rolling tote.  These tables will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. This option must be chosen at the time of registration.

If you wish to have a guaranteed end spot, we may not be able to place your friend across from you unless she also purchases a guaranteed end table seat. Also, if you want to sit with a larger group, we will do our best to accommodate all seating requests. 

Make this a true getaway and stay at the hotel!!!

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Courtyard Marriott
(just a short walk and elevator ride away from the crop room) starting at only $119.00/night!!
 
You'll enjoy inviting, flexible spaces where you can work or relax, free Wi-Fi throughout and easy access to the latest news, weather and airport conditions via their GoBoard technology. Plus, their well-equipped fitness center, indoor pool and whirlpool will help you stay refreshed and energized.
 
Best of all, it is up to you whether you want a room to yourself or a roommate.
