retreat layouts

Just back from the Scrapbook HQ retreat at Stanwell Tops. Boy did I have a fantastic time. Scrapped up a storm with my fantastic friends Kim and Cass, and spent some long overdue time with my Aunty Ros and her sister Bev. I love that we have scrapping in common. Everyone was so friendly and Jen, Kate and all the staff from HQ hosted an excellent weekend away. I will definitely be going again and dragging a few more friends along!

I managed to complete 13 layouts plus 2 double pages of my Scrap-Pile mini-challenge album. All in all, a very productive weekend. These are some of the layouts I created, however I won't bore you with all of them today. I just noticed I'm going through a black cardstock phase - better stock up! Not all have a black background, however I seem to keep going back to black as a staple.

Yesterday, I had a day off work to rest - a must after sitting on one's bottom for 2.5 days! Cleaned the house, then scrapped some more in the afternoon - completed 3 layouts for my September classes at Scrapbooking Delights - watch this space - very cool and funky.

Missed Andrew and the kids terribly over the weekend and was very happy to be home with them. At the moment, Seth loves being held up to the ceiling while Andrew sings "spiderSeth, spiderSeth, does whatever a spiderSeth does...". Thank you Simpsons - very cute and entertaining.

Take care everyone, L.

btw-this was my 50th blog-post!
