Back to reality......

I am back from the Scrapbooking Retreat. And I had a GREAT time. The food was just scrummy. And I was indeed a PORKER. You were not wrong there Cassie........ LOL. Though any food prepared, cooked for you is just perfect. And then the dishes are done for you. What more could you ask for. Except if she would come live with you.......

A huge THANK YOU to the girls - Petrina and Cassie for organising yet another great weekend. There were so many prizes and the work these two put into this event is huge. And we even got chocolates on our pillows. Is there nothing these girls can do????????

My dress up for Friday night didn't go to plan as my false eyelashes didn't want to go on. And I couldn't find the right outfit to wear. But I did find some Flamingo style skirt which I thought sort of suited. I could have passed as either a Drag Queen or a Dance Queen. You decide?




I even won a challenge. At the last minute I found a layout that I thought I would hang up and well it won. I was a little surprised but very happy. Thanks Cameron for taking these photos.





I went with 30 pages to do which I had sorted paper and designed. At the end of the weekend I got 10 pages done. But on Sunday I only got 1 page done. I think I dragged my heels a bit as I knew the weekend was coming to an end.













I came home to 2 girls that missed their mummy. I got HUGE hugs from both of them and Makayla said to me "Miss Mummy". I had to ask Cameron if he had been telling her this and he said "No". They just make you melt don't they. (the children that is). And I think Cameron missed me a bit too.

Looking forward to the next retreat. Only 362 more sleeps...... LOL As if I would count down the sleeps now... or would I........

Hey, this is my first time here, great blog, thanks for the comment. I'm looking into a second one for this year, but it won't be with Geoff, he is booked OUT. I was lucky to get April next year even. Thank you for not taking offence to my slip up about your dietry needs, I am sorry. But sometimes my mouth works faster than my brain. Thank you also for the supper on Friday night, it was wonderful.
Have a good week. lv Cassie
