Scrapbook Retreat

I attended my first scrapbook retreat this weekend. I went to Fernciff, a little campground near in Little Rock Arkansas. I had a wonderful time and got a lot of things done. My friends Julie and Stephanie have been going to this retreat for years and asked me come along this year. Here are a few things I did while I was there.

This is an egg box for my friend Jessica. She is having a baby girl in a few months and this will be one of the many things I will be giving her for a baby gift. My plan is to fill it with rattles and passies. She loves pink so I know she will love it. You can order egg boxes from this website
There are so many things you can do with them. I just love them for everything.


I also worked on teacher gifts. These are large post it note pads covered in paper. I love this idea. All teachers love note pads. I know I do! They were alot of fun to work on. I love the bling baper and the little embellishments. The Halloween on I will be keeping for myself. I had an orange post it note pad and lots of time so I made it for me. Something I need to do more of! So So Stinking Cute!

I worked on a ton of cards. Birthday cards I never have enough of. So, I stocked up and made about 15. These two are my favorite. They are simple and the color combo is just super amazing. Something about blue and green make me smile.


That is all for now, I will post more later. Have a good week and please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Trip to The Smokies

We have been super busy these past few weeks. I can't tell you how exhausted we all are! So I apologize for the lack of post.
My mom came for a 9 day visit. We really had a great time. I made sure that our days were filled with many activities and that she could experience life as we do every week. When my mom arrived at the airport. Lauren and I were there to greet her. We left that afternoon for Gatlinburg. Mom had never been and I wanted to show her the beautiful fall colors. It was a girls trip. Just me, mom and Lauren. We had the best time. We shopped until we could not walk. Ate like we had never seen food. And had the most wonderful time just being with each other. I miss my family a lot. The time I do get to spend with them I want to be meaningful not only for me but for David and Lauren.
Here are some pictures from our trip.
