************************

I just got back from a week trip to Orlando for a scrapbooking retreat with a group of girls that have been together for the past 8 years. It's the same group of girls but we switch locations almost every year....we've been to Pennsylvania, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois and Florida. We have Ohio, Maine, Nevada, and Washington to go! 

These MudLOVE braclets were made for us by Vanessa's daughter...love them and the MudLOVE message, which you can check out HERE.

I completed 18 pages and 2 mini books by Kathy King (Orta), ate Conch Fritters and Buffalo Gator (both were delish) and had a fun and relaxing weekend....can't wait to do it again next year!

WW #56 Cover Your Head & Happy Halloween!!

 

****************************************

 Please scroll down for this week's FBW OPEN challenge. 

****************************************

 

Wicked Wednesday has a fun challenge that starts today and runs through next Tuesday evening which is called COVER YOUR HEAD....which includes things you wear on your head or in your hair, such as feathers, headbands, flowers. I used the Girls Gone Fishing image from Stitchy Bear who is our sponsor, and they are offering one random winner a $10 gift certificate to their store this week. SWEET!

 

 

After several failed attempts at a Shark Week theme I set everything aside and walked away from my craft area. I woke up in the middle of the night remembering I had fishing hook brads....perfect! I also used a measuring tape sticker because we all know how fishermen like to tell stories about the "big one" that got away...my dad fished for years so I'm familiar with like stories, lol!

 

I hope you find a few minutes in your day to join us in this super fun challenge, feel free to link-up HERE!

 Happy Halloween! I love making small projects....little things I can make in a couple of hours and not have to think too much about. For some reason, I was able to make quite a few of those this Halloween. 



I love making treat bags and my kiddos love them too!



When I went to my sb'ing retreat a couple weekend ago, I made this fun and not too spooky wreath using Happy Hauntings, Chic and Scary, and Indie Art cartridges with lots, and lots, and lots of tulle tied around a wire wreath form.



(This took more than a couple of hours to make!)

 

Halloween stick pins inside handmade ATC boxes were sent to a few friends...I sure hope they like them!!!

 

 

 

Lastly, a couple of Halloween cards that I made for the kiddos using zombies and floating eyeballs. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone stays safe and is blessed with more treats than tricks today.

WW Lazy Summer Days, a Retreat, and a FB Hacker

Well, I had a great time at my retreat....5 days and 4 nights of cropping, laughing, eating and very little sleep! We lost electricity for quite a while one of the evenings due to a storm that blew into town, but we weren't about to groan about the circumstances and grabbed some "blue drinks" and sat by the fire pit...enjoying an evening of talking, laughing, and communing with nature!


I just realized the pictures I posted don't include any scrapbooking...but trust me, between the few of us we managed to get quite a few pages done-done!

When I got home I found out a hacker went through my FB page to get to my address book, YIKES!!! If you received an email from me for some pharmacutical products I am sorry!!! I hope it's been taken care of, but if it continues...please let me know.

On to this week's Wicked Wedneday challenge...LAZY SUMMER DAYS!!!
