Just a quick update on a few thing going on around here.
The past weekend saw miss helen from LSBS set a card challenge
which was awesome fun....
The challenge was to make as many cards as you could out of 1 sheet
of cardstock and 1 sheet of P/P(you could use 1/2 sheet of 2 different
ones if you liked) and whatever embellishments you wanted.....I loved this
awesome challenge and got to make myself a stash of 7 cards....
And to top it all off I was one of the winners!!!!!!
although all that had a go at the challenge were all winners as we all now
have a great selection of cards for special people...
Thanks heaps helen...

Heres a pic of my cards...



Have a good day...
Cheers

The bestest weekend!!!!!

OMGoodness.......What an awesome weekend I have just experienced with all the girls at the LSBS Retreat which was held at Merroo in Sydney....
It all started on the thursday night for me when I went to meet Jen (spikeyjen) down the road from home so she could spend the night with us before we headed to Sydney friday morning....
We left Wagga Wagga about 9am friday morning and after a yummy morning tea at young followed by a great lunch at Bathurst, we finally arrived at Merroo around 4ish....Jen was awesome company on the trip up and we never even turned the radio or cd on as we just chatted and really got to know each other....She will be a good friend forever......
Arriving at the retreat it was lovely to catch up with Cath and Nic again and of course all of the awesome girls.....especially the 7 beautiful ladies I was so lucky to spend the weekend with.....Jen, Helen,Shann,Lisa,Relsi,Bon and Kerryn.....All such an awesome group of ladies.....Loved them all....
The rest of the weekend went soooooo fast with awesome challenge kits to complete and the bestest ever classes from our very talented DT members Lisa and Belle.....
I managed to complete Lisa's album which I just love and 2 of the challenge kits....
Other than that I just enjoyed some awesome company and for me the highlight would have to be the PJ parade...What a great belly laugh that was.....
It was sad to leave on the Sunday, but as all good wives and mothers would do we all headed home to the reality of life with our families.....
A top weekend that I will never ever forget and to the most wonderful new friends in the whole world...
Will upload some of the creations I finished soon.....
Take care

Wonderful Day ......

No sleep in's for us today as we were all up early to go to Junee for lunch.
My sister Carol and her dh were up for the weekend from Melbourne and her dd Rachel and hubby were down from Newcastle , so we all went over to Mum and Dad's for lunch...
Mum's lunch was yummy as always and we all came home stuffed....
It was lovely to all catch up and the 2 little ones Ryder and Lachlan were spoilt with lots of kisses and cuddles....
Great day....and hopefully will get some scrapping done this afternoon....
Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend.......
