Favorite Page from Scrapbook Retreat & Retreat Pictures




This page is one of my favorites from the Retreat. It is also the last page I made. I love this picture of my parents. It was taken around Christmas, and I think it is a good picture. Lots of times my dad will have a funny expression on his face and this is more of a natural expression. It is a tradition at Christmas to take lots of group and individual portraits. I always make a calendar for my grandma. The calendar will have pictures of whom ever has a birthday or anniversary on that month.








The Scrapbook Retreat was this last weekend. It was a good weekend to be inside, since it rained Saturday and Sunday. Although, the weekend started a little on the rough side. I had not been feeling well the day before and the hormones with a capital H were in full force on Friday. After I got there and got everything set up it went GOOD. Above is a picture of my work area. There was lots of space and I could nest, which is what I always do. I must spread my wings and reach out in every direction.

Below is Erin K. By the Fall Retreat she will be a new mommy.



Betty was my roommate. She was very organized and creative.

There were lots of things to learn and create. It was a fun experience and well worth the time. I will be posting more pages and pictures through the week.

Thanks for looking


Always find you happy place

Scrapbook Page

I did a CTMH Hostess party last night and they wanted to make a scrapbook layout that they could use for camping, fishing, or boys. I thought the Its a Guy Thing paper was perfect for that. I don't camp, so I didn't have any pictures, but I think these pictures work with the layout. I looked in Reflections to decide on the layout format. I used stamp sets D1201 Frame of Mind and C1279 Roughin' It. It still needs a title, not sure what to do with that.
These pictures were taken a few years ago when I was moving to my house I am currently in. The little girl is Addy and her mom is a good friend. She was trying to keep busy while we packed up my house. I am sort a pack rat and always have more stuff than I need. I am also good at packing, so there was lots of stuff packed into my little house.
So today I am off to a weekend retreat. I should have already been gone, but had lots to do before I could leave. Hope you like the layout. I hope to have lots more to post next week.
Always find your happy place
