DAY 9.br

Barbara got to choose today's unveiling!!!

And it is...............

Maya Road 5x7 binder album.

I wanted you to have a journal of the retreat - something small that would not take forever to complete!!!  There are 8 chipboard pages in the book and of course you could add pages (maybe from the Specialty Paper!!!) and pictures!

You could also put post cards in it to make it a real sweet little memory book of the 2013 retreat!

You will each receive an extra patch (aside from the one for your bag) to put on the front of this little cutie if you want!

DAY 11.br

Hello ladies!!!

Going through our list of goodies and let Bernie choose which one to blog about!

So here you go!!


Ranger's 12x 12 Specialty Paper!

I LOVE this paper!  I had never used it and did so with Jacquie at a Wendy Vecchi class.  It is AMAZING!  It is particularly beautiful with alcohol inks so figured we could maybe use it with the techniques Daisy will be teaching us, cut them up and use them for our cards.

11 more sleeps as Lillian would say!

I CAN'T FOCUS ON WORK!!!

I have boxes and boxes of loveliness in my conference room.... I have a list in my head of what I need to do .... I have groceries to buy..... I have wonderful things to organize for you ..... how the HELL am I supposed to focus on work????  LOL!!!

I have this issue with "focus".....  A week before Thanksgiving my mind goes to "holiday mode" and I get NOTHING done until I come back from Xmas break!!

Well, this is what happens with the retreat as well!!!

Will there be enough water.... coke.... don't forget Eileen's diet pepsi.... don't forget Karen's diet doctor pepper.... Did I remember to put the fryer on the list for Daisy??????  Did I call about the tables and chairs?????

Endless... but so exciting!  I sort of work myself into a lather!  LMAO!!!!  Less than two weeks now!!

Woo HOO!!!
