speaking of retreats!

last weekend i had the pleasure of being at the WICKED PRINCESSES retreat in brissy and OMG i had an absolute ball! i got to spend time with a wonderful bunch of ladies meeting many for the first time IRL....of course i had a great travel buddy in Sandy and a hostess with the absolute mostess in Krissy. oh and i simply can not forget to mention the check out chick to beat all check out chicks Krissy's gorgeous mum Lynette and our awesome bus driver Sir Otto ( don't worry Al i am sticking with "what happens on the bus stays on the bus"...LOL)..it truly was a great weekend and i can't wait to do it all again!!!
these few layouts are from the retreat using wicked princess kits and the challenges from the retreat! for fairy wishes i used the blue bird kit ....i just added the thickers and the prima butterfly.

for these next four pages i used the awesome park days kit...i LOVED this one and used up every little bit i could...LOL...i LOVE LOVE LOVE the fimo creatures krissy creates, so i just had to add a little lady bug here...it's so cute!!!

my very own little DJ at vincent's 21st...hehehehe i love this photo!

my very own nine year old....god she is growing up way to damn fast!

yep well it is all about Mary...ethan just adores Mary...so glad to be welcoming her to our family very soon...xx :)

ok Peta and Kate please don't faint but i used GLIMMERMIST!!! i know it's a miracle...think i might have been converted over the weekend...LOL!!!

i used part of my girly goodies pack for this goofy group shot from chantelle's luau.

not alot of pages created i guess but i was just having too much damn fun to concentrate...lol!

thanks for looking

xxxxxxxxxxx

dates???

ok i have two possible dates for the retreat .....february 24th-26th or March 9th - 11th (bare in mind with this one that easter is only about 3 weeks later).....let me know your preference and majority will rule.....my pick is the Feb date.

decisions to be made.

hi girls....i have been thinking and starting to plan my retreat for next year and want to know what would interest you all the most.....would you prefer the retreat be cheaper and you receive a goodie bag...basically a kit, challenges and your food and drink included in the price for the weekend then you would bring you own gear or shop while there ???? OR would you like it to be similar to last year where you recieved the large pizza box full of goodies, papers, cardstock, challenges etc plus all food and drink???? just something to think about...please let me know here in the comments section or email me direct if you prefer....any other suggestions you may have will be taken on board as well.

i would love to start promoting the retreat so some decisions have to be made and i woule LOVE your input.

chat soon
