Fun was had by all! Retreat November 2009

You could not have asked for a better group of ladies to spend a weekend with! Unfortunately we only have about half of our group for this picture, we should have done it Saturday afternoon but there was just no time with all the creative juices flowing, and the wonderful classes being taught by Pam and Catherine! Thank you ladies for making this a great weekend! I can not wait until we all gather again in June!

Guest Scrapbooker: Kim

Kim is a very Inspired Scrapbooker!  Not one minute of our retreat was waisted, she worked diligently on an incredible book about her family trip to Disney!  I really enjoyed meeting Kim again, we share a mutal friend and have crossed social paths in the past. I will be publishing pages of her work over the next little while, and really lookforward to spending time with her and the rest of the ladies again soon! Thanks Kim for sharing your "Magic of Disney" with us!

Leaving A comment to Win Blog Candy! Free Stamps worth $150

It was brought to my attention today by my wonderful friend in Barrie that people are having difficulty leaving comments to link themselves for the blog candy contest. The simplest way, especially if you don't have a blog, is to go to the post for the blog candy on the 27th, double click at the bottom where it same the number of comments that have been left. Go to the bottom again where is says post a comment, double click. Type your comment in the box, remember to put your name, and choose anonymous. That will post your comment.  If all else fails, email me here kelli_ctmh@rogers.com, with your comment and I can post it for you.  Go luck!

Let's Go on an Adventure Part 2

When we went out to the woods we also collected enough greenery and berries to decorate our flower box it the back yard, it looks nice all winter! We have lots of skating parties (my hubby builds a big ice rink for the kids) and bond fires in the winter so its nice to decorate the back yard also. We will make two hanging baskets also. Then from the vines in our own yard and pine cones from our tree's we will make some wreaths for the doors and maybe for the gazibo we are building over the hot tub on our back deck! The sky is the limit!

Let's Go on an Adventure

My Daughter and I headed out to the woods on Sunday, it was such a nice day!

She didn't remember that when they were very small when I said "Let's go on an Adventure", it meant we were headed to the woods to look for things to make outdoor arrangements, rocks for the garden, pine cones, or anything else we may have needed. She laughed so hard when we were talking about all our past "Adventures", and we had a great time looking for our supplies for our deck arrangement.
