Maple Memories

I have been scrapping for years. Usually, I would set up a table in the living room or take over the kitchen table and eventually I even took over one of the bedrooms as my craft room. It is always peaceful to scrap; it may not be quiet around me but the art of scrapping brings me peace. I found new friends when my favorite store ScrapFunattic opened. I was invited to a weekend event up at Maple Memories in McPherson. I hadn't scrapped away from home except at classes I took. I had no idea what to take so most of my stash went with me! I had so much fun. I didn't get much done but that weekend I developed new friendships and deepened those I already had. We laughed, ate and laughed some more. It was there I learned that facebook wasn't just for college kids and I really did need a laptop! The neighborhood around Maple Memories is so quiet and beautiful in the spring and fall. The house itself is inviting the moment we walk in. I really appreciate the ramp to roll all of our supplies right up and into the house. The bedrooms are uniquely decorated and very comfortable. I have been back several times and will be there again next weekend!
