Finally!!

Went through all my retreat goodies!!  I've been in a funk for the past week but I'm out of it.
I got out all my retreat goodies and remembered what a great time we had.  What fun!!

I put pictures in my Halloween bag book for my sister...it turned out really, really cute!!

Looking forward to our Christmas Crop time at the CH!

Can you believe Christmas is only 31 days away!!  Thanksgiving is only 2 days away!!

BTW, I'm thankful for all my "new" scrapbook buddies!

Love you all!

Retreat is over :-(

I'm still trying to recover!  I was so tired yesterday!!  And maybe a little grumpy from lack of sleep!  I took a nap when I got home!

It was fun.  The classes were good but the company was the best!!!

Three weeks until CH Christmas!!!  That means four weeks until the Christmas Cat Costumes need to be finished.  OMG!
