Back to reality.....which isn't so bad.


The scrapbook retreat was such a good time. It gets better and better every year as we all become better friends. I got a lot done and took a class to get ready for my Daily December book. Thanks Trish for a fantastic time!
Anna made her first Reconciliation this past Saturday. She wasn't too nervous and said it was a lot of fun because they got to light a candle after they were finished. She is a changed child for the time being--she was up in her bed READING this morning! I think she is one of the only 2nd graders I know of who loves religion school. Maybe we should do this more often! I will enjoy it while it lasts.

Two More Days.




In two days I will be able to sleep in, have uninterrupted meals and the best part is being able to scrapbook/craft with friends ALL WEEKEND. What fun it will be and I will share the creations when I get back.
Above is some of the stuff I've done lately. I can't wait to use all of the new stash I just bought. I am crazy about all of the October Afternoon lines that are out.
Beautiful day here. I am going to go out and work on my yard and then start packing and printing pictures for the weekend.
