I have arrived home after a few days away at my first Scrapbooking Retreat. Camp Mojo at the Hunter Valley. It was lovely to be away , scrapping with some lovely friends. A bonus my Best friend who now lives in another state made the trip and we got to share the experience together & she is never allowed to tell me that she can't scrap again, as she created beautiful layouts.
I can't say I was happy with my scrapping ( I think I scrap better at home, by myself for some reason) But I did scrap this for the challenge at Challenge Yourself and the theme
and this is my take
Keep Calm ~ the most important thing is to enjoy Life
Our nieces little daughter Remi took this photo. We were at the park having a picnic and she took my camera and had a great old time ( the camera was nearly as big as her )
The gorgeous hot hair balloon with travel print was a gift from the lovely, thoughtful Jo ( thank you Jo x) Jo was one of my buddies at the retreat and had a little bag of treats for us all :) and I used the red paper bag that Jo had filled with goodness for us to mat my photo.
Thanks for calling by . I will leave you with some photo's of the scrapbooking retreat
Saturday night took us back to the Seventies ( I have to say I loved the seventies )
Lizzy and Jo looking very Groovy
Lizzy scrapping up a storm, gosh this girl can speed scrap ( Love this girls spirit)
With two beautiful girls
When we first arrived and you could still see the table and there was some resemblance of order
My beautiful best friend of 40 years ( showing my age Eek)
Don't forget to go out and share some
Love, Peace and Happiness
