RETREAT PHOTOS

Hi all, well I went to my first ever retreat yesterday hosted by the lovely Sandra from Scrapbooking Delights. And I had the best time (even if it was for just one day) and was such a great experience that next time, I will be going for the whole 3 days LOL!!! The girls are all sooooo lovely and I felt like I had known them all for ages. In fact I chatted so much that I only managed to fully complete one layout in the whole 8 hours, which was for the kit challenge. It has been accepted for publication, so I can't even show it, not much good now is it? LOL.

Here is a pic of the very bubbly Sar from Savvy and I;

And here I am with sweet Alicia, who is excited to be expecting bub number 2 - woohoo;

And I finally got to meet the gorgeous Sam from Mystical, it was so great to meet IRL;

Idol Pickle Prize Crop

Do you like my title hehe? I thought it was a bit good, but probably the only one hehe. How has your week been, hope it's been good to you? Can't believe I attended my first ever crop on Friday night from 6pm till midnight and it literally felt like 5 minutes!!! Can't believe either that I forgot to take my camera so I would have pictures to post DOH!!! Next time, hehe. Here are my latest projects for Rusty Pickle. I have used the gorgeous Pirate Princess range of papers and embellishments.

And here is my week 2 entry for

Embellished. We had to produce a circle layout with a choice of about 5 titles. I chose Through These Eyes as I thought it was perfect to describe the magic of Christmas as seen in Billy's eyes in this photo, it's one of my favourite pics.

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL....

Goodevening sweet bloggers, hope you have had a fun filled or at least enjoyable weekend? My baby girl turned 3 yesterday. The whole memory of her birth is very pleasant, even though she was 10 pounds, she was only a one hour labour with no drugs and within an hour of having her, I was sitting up in my hospital bed, fully showered with make-up and hair done wondering where all my visitors were LOL!!! It all happened so quick that the mid-wife almost missed all the action!!! Here are some of my favourite pics from yesterday.

Here's a layout I have done with one of my August Fairy Fun Kits for Enchanted.

Why not fill your August with colour and pop on over for heaps of fun, chatting, prizes and awesome colour challenges.

Here are my takes on the August sketches over at Sweeties.

And here is my Week 1 entry for Embellished Idol over at Embellished.
