LONG POST.....

Well i have just got back from my Scrapping Retreat at Britannahlee Stamp & Scrap. I met so many nice people and the venue was great. I just loved all the Home style cooked meals...beautiful....thanks Faye.

My class was great and i think and hope the girls enjoyed my class even though they first thought it was going to be hard!LOL

I managed to scrap 11 layouts and 7 cards....Yes...you did read right...i scrapped cards....AMAZING....LOL

One class i did which was taught by Kim Kendall
.I thought this was a beautiful layout but so not my sytle. so it was fun to do.

Bird Is The Word



Our new challenge word for Sunday, August 28th is MEMORY (or a variation of the word, such as memories). Your challenge is to use this word in a title or as journaling on your page. Please link up your page / project over here when it is complete! I cannot wait to see what you create....we had a record number of entries for the DREAM challenge. Hopefully we can do the same for this challenge.

Just a reminder that when you post your work to your blog, please give credit to the Bird is the Word challenge site. The majority of you already do this, so this is just a friendly reminder.

Also, I have one more exciting preview announcement. Bird is the Word is going to be looking for new design team members and you are all invited. The official announcement will be made on September 1st. We are especially looking for a design team member who will create a sketch for us every two weeks, so if you or if you know anyone who is interested, please pass along this information.

Here is my layout:

The rest of my layouts are for upcoming challenges. So you will have to wait for my shares next month.

Today also is my eldest daughter, Kayley's Birthday. She woke up really early at 6am and decided everyone else needed to be up too as well so she could open her presents. This year was great as she is into cooking. So in the next few months i am going to have a Masterchef in the house....LOL...

So did you finally make it....LOL...

I told you it would be long.....

Thanks for stopping by..
