A
weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read
and those you plan on reading in the coming week. I love this meme ... thanks
Sheila :)
A fun weekend with dear friends at my favourite scrapbook place Daisy Chain Scrapbooks. Time with friends, sharing and creating is always time well spent, it nurtures the soul. This retreat's theme was 'Life's A Circus' - thanks to Barbi and the Daisy girls (some above) for another wonderful retreat.
I managed to finish 5 layouts and some cards and start another layout (will post more later in the week) even though we spent hours chatting and catching up ... not a bad effort.
