Retreat LOs and other Stuff

Hi there all. Glad to see that I am getting visitors to my blog now. I thought since i had an hour or so to spare between all the stuff that is going on at this time of year to show you a couple of things I did at retreat. I must say its the best run one i have been too and would recommend going to another one when they hold it. I for one am definitely going again.


Its a bit skewy but here is the result of the christmas LO class we did at retreat. I chose some photos from a big family christmas we had in 2004 when i had (it seems like it anyway) 100 people at my house (just joking LOL). AND where I tried to "poison" my soon to be sister in law LOL. Its alright, we just got her out of action for half of the day. (sorry Peta but we can both see the funny side of that one and all because of that lovely dublin milkshake, next time i will have the right icecream LOL).

Yes very simple, but very effective. This actually was done on the Sunday morning after a sumptuous brekky. I am so glad this was done at this time as we were all a bit brain dead by then. LOL. And I always thought those sticky embellishment thingys you see looked very $2 shoppish but when they are on a page, it really does something to it (referring to the star and reindeer).

Here is the "mega" 11 shot double LO, please excuse the quality of the shot of the LO, as I am not feeling 100% today, and I wanted to get them on.

My camera is amazing these photos at see world are taken in rapid shot mode with the big lense on. I was up the back of theatre thingy so that i could stand up and not have heads everywhere. I basically did the LO up there and added the photos, the caption (care of the cricut) and the journalling at home. An awesome way to get a lot of photos on a page and have space, PP, journalling and ribbon.

I must be feeling a little off, I have been wondering why these images are taking sooo long to load up ..... duh perhaps if I compress them it might make it quicker!!

Here is another one. I had this finished the day after I came home from retreat!! I basically come home from work, sorted some dinner out, finished this LO (only needed a photo) and crashed out. I was one very tired girl believe me.
At retreat, I had thoughts on making this photo sepia, but the colours match perfectly, anyone would think i matched everything to the photo, the photo looks so cool with it all. This is Mel and her best friend Courtney from up the street, out the front of my house.

Finally, I did this on the Saturday night after we had some fun and games. It took me a very long time to do this one and I am very proud of it. One of the few LOs of me that I can like. LOL

I have a few more to add photos too but with Christmas coming up and I expect next week at work is going to be huge. Supermarkets and Christmas. I am going to take it as easy as I can this weekend. We have decided at the last minute not to go on the cruise thing this evening as we are both feeling a little poor. Not from too much christmas already but Dave seems to have caught Zaks little bug and I hope I am not getting it. I am just tired from a hectic week at work.

See you all later.
