Great Time - Great Food - Great Friends!

I had such a great time at my scrapbook retreat last weekend at The Covered Bridge Inn in Weatherford. I have hosted retreats there 3-4 times a year since 2006 and have dates booked through 2011! It's a great place for a retreat. The next retreat is October 7-10, 2010. A $50 deposit will secure your spot.  Contact me today to register! I'd love to have you join me.

I invited two of my best girlfriends to join me last weekend along with lots of my customers and a few team members. We got lots of scrappin' done, ate lots of delicious homemade food and I even managed to squeeze in an hour massage and an evening in the hot tub!

Here are a few photos from our weekend:

My Cruise Scrapbook is almost complete!

I've been diligently working on my cruise scrapbook from our recent Close to My Heart Cruise to the Western Caribbean. I just have a few more layouts to do and I think I will call it complete! SO excited!

I wanted to share a couple more layouts that I've completed with you. I hope you like them! (All layouts completed with Close to My Heart products, including the Caboodle My Reflections paper pack.)

Close to My Heart is Simply The Best!

I just read on our CEO and founder's blog, that she and our company received three prestigious awards this past weekend! If you haven't read her blog before, you should definitely check it out! It is amazing! She posts wonderful artwork and lots of fun and interesting information about herself, her family and our company. Go take a look here and let me know what you think!
