There are more to come! Helen completed an entire Christmas album and Edith made three mini chipboard albums from her recent cruise. Joanne began scrapping Betsy's wedding and worked on Charlie's album. I need to make more pictures of the rest of the pages so I'll post them soon.

Retreat 2013.......Fun!!

We made it and having a blast!!

Weather is sunny but a little cool.

Our view

 Gay and her friend made these cute glasses for us!!

 Also some delicious nuts!!

Of course we shopped! 

  Also cooked and had some delicious meals.

 Gigi's

 Bahama Bob's for lunch and tee shirts!

 There we met up with Martha and her friends who

 were also having a girl's trip!

No trip would be complete without a quick stop at a resale store!!

The barge is still out there dredging up new sand for the beaches.

 A few minutes by the pool

 Helen removing the battery from the smoke alarm! Finally got it to shut up!

 And, Yes, we did scrap. Next post will include some of our pages!!

We have completed lots of pages so far! 

It's Retreat time again!!

Well, it's that time again when we head off to Orange Beach to scrapbook! This is  our Fourth annual Scrappin' Retreat.  We have had some great times!

This was February 2010, despite what the picture says. It was windy and cold. 

Our 2011 trip was in March. Again we had a great time. The weather was much warmer this time. We always have to make several trips to our favorite scrapbook store.

Our 2012 retreat had a new member, Evelyn!

 We also broke records that year with 158 pages.

Looking forward to a great retreat this year with lots of good food,

 scrappin' and hanging out with the girls!

I plan to post our pages so watch for new posts next week.

We leave on Wednesday and return on Sunday.

We did it all.....paint, craft and scrap!

Camille joined us for scrappin' last night. She was the only one who actually scrapped! She had just finished her Taekwando class and made some photos of her classmates. She uploaded them from her Ipod and got them printed at Walgreen's. So proud of this girl!!


She did a great job on her pages. She is now in Master Class so we want to get more photos of this to scrap!!

Helen made this cute bulletin board for her kitchen. Her boys went off to collage and took hers! We painted over the original wood on the board then covered it with scrapbook paper. The good thing about this is it can be changed when it gets raggedy or with the seasons! Really cute! I was thinking of adding some labels like: coupons, receipts, etc. 

Evelyn brought this framed dry erase board. We changed it to a bulletin board! Turned the board over, added batting, cork and fabric. Did a little painting to cover up the pink that didn't match the fabric and then the flowers! Really cute!

 

Tomorrow we are going on our Flea Market adventure! I hope we find some great stuff!!

Let me sing my ABC's

Pam came back with more letters this week. I think they bought them out! Here are Pam's finished P and G! So cute


Maddie is going to Ole Miss so Evelyn did hers
for a bulletin board. Really cute!

Helen wanted hers for a wreath. Love the Gray and Glitter!

Here are Helen's for her Bama boys!
