Just a reminder that we are running the Ninabrook Layout class “TREASURE” this coming Thursday the 29th.  (postponed from earlier this month).   This is a beautiful layout featuring chipboard, painting and more cool embellishments, in shades of browns and creams!  Class is pm to 9pm and $20.00. 

 

 

I am back from 3 nights at beautiful Camp Iawah in Westport, home of CROPTOPIA!  This was my 6th year attending this awesome retreat!  I provide the stock for their camp store and we had a very successful year!  I also had a great time scrapbooking with my friends Ida, Angie, Glenda, Karen, Tiffany and Amy. (AKA the Psychadelic Scrappers).  It was a 60’s theme weekend and there were some wicked costumes!  Our table was the winning team this year and we were pumped!!!! (last year we came 2nd) 

So today was spent back in the store re-assembling my racks and putting stock away.  I still have another day left of that tomorrow!!!! 

We are still waiting on a couple more of the May layout challenges to be returned, so we will begin voting Wednesday thru Saturday!

Have a great night!
