agenda

Our agenda is designed to help guests do several things: Scrapbook, Learn, Sightsee and Relax all in a sumptuous, luxurious setting. This trip will be the ultimate in scrapbook luxury travel! We have placed strict limits on the size of the event, to ensure an intimate week with our instructors, Ali, Karen and Jenni. In addition to classes, we feature a number of opportunities to mingle with instructors and other guests, including receptions, cocktail hours, dinners, crops and a tour of the spectacular ruins of Delos. Even with all those great options, there's still time to explore and enjoy Mykonos, shop, have lunch at one of the many gourmet restaurants, or relax by the pool.

A sumptuous breakfast and gourmet dinner will be served each day. Lunch will be on your own — you'll love all the options on the island (or right in the hotel!). We've also arranged some small-party meals with Ali Edwards, Karen Russell and Jenni Bowlin…limited to 12 people. Guests can sign up to dine out with their favorite scrapbooking celebrity (sign up early as these will go fast)

For each of the class sessions and evenings out, we'll break into smaller groups to ensure optimal class size. Each group will rotate through classes and other events — the schedule timing will vary by group. All participants will enjoy an evening out with the three instructors at a restaurant in the city of Mykonos. Each restaurant has been handpicked for their delicious menu items, excellent service and the perfect ambience for an exquisite dining experience.

In addition, we have arranged --- small-party meals with each of the instructors, Ali, Karen and Jenni… These unique getaways will be limited to just one table of participants at an upscale restaurant right on the beach. Guests can sign up to dine out with their favorite scrapbooking celebrity (sign up early as these will go fast) for an unforgettable dining experience!
