The food at the conference center we use is simple, home cooked and delicious. We (all 30+ of us) enjoyed a sandwich buffet, salads, cream of broccoli soup and a fruit buffet for desert!! Yummm!

It's a full house here at our spring retreat! We are having a blast! We are totally sold out and had to say no to some people and put them on a cancellation list! I hate saying no to people! Everyone is having a blast and I will have lots to share with you over the next few days or weeks depending on how much work I get done. I will be popping in over the weekend and posting pic's!
Thanks to all the ladies for joining us and making our retreat so much fun!

Ms. Scrapbook Mugs!
Are these the cutest little mugs you ever saw? !!
I made these Scrapbooker Girl Mugs to sell at a retreat I am co-running this weekend.
I can't decide what to sell them for, any suggestions?
They are really fun to make! I saw this technique on a blog years ago and went on a mission to get the product used to adhere your art work to the mug. Its made in Germany I think and the only English speaking web site I could find was in Cyprus. So after months of searching and shipped all the way from Cyprus (weeks of waiting) I can make these adorable mugs that are dishwasher safe (but I would still hand wash).
I stamp the image (Ms. Scrapbook from Close to My Heart B1352) on white tissue paper with stazon, colour with my water colorpencils (CTMH 3505), cut as close to the image as possible, adhere with porcelain potch to the mug and bake at 270 F for 90 minutes.
This link will take you to others I have done, they are great gifts!

A sketch challenge at H2H Challenge Blog!!
Its a sketch challenge over at Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog this week!
I have only recently discovered this challenge blog and its all about my favorite product!
Close to My Heart
I am working on catching up my Christmas album this weekend at a retreat I am co-running! So I am all about Christmas right now. This layout suited the sketch perfectly and is made completely out of retired Close to My Heart Product (paper pack is X7075B Everlasting) ! The bling though is a local dollar store find! I used my Cricut to cut the shapes, titles and embellishments!

kids cards - Work in progress.
This is a work in progress, I am trying to decide what I want to do with the stamp set (Hope A1118) Close to My Heart used to raise funds for HOPE FOR JAPAN! It is part of my simple stamped cards theme, I like the idea of the happy birthday boarder and the colour combo, but not the way it actually turned out....again a work in progress.
