{Forever Always Retreat # 8}

Firstly a HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GORGEOUS FRIEND KRISTY.... I hope you have had an awesome day. Big Hugs I am just about to ring you I hope your home from work :o)

Last Wednesday I left for my second Forever Always retreat. Last time Leah and Briony came with me so I was a little nervous going all by myself. It was an awesome retreat I had a great time and got lots done.
I brought home this Sonia Bowers Original, we were in a photo swap and this is what Sonia created it is just beautiful and I love it thanks Sonia :o)


I just love this LO I have used kindy glitz on the swirls it doesn't really show up in the photo but it looks awesome in real life.....





I was also lucky enough to get a Louise Nelson Original... Lou knows how much I love this LO it is just gorgeous, thank you so much Lou.... I was showing Salt all of the LO's today and when I got to this one he said who did that one?






This is another of my favourite's from the retreat I think I did a pretty good job with writing the "as time goes by" Heidi Swapp style...



This LO is for a current RAK challenge in the FA forum we were only aloud to use 2 colours, material, at least 3 photos and stitching I had so much fun with this one.

and another Fav a LO of Kay, I hope you like this one Kay :o) It has a verse on the photo about being a grandma.
If it wasn't for Kay I wouldn't be able to go on these retreats..... I missed the girls so much I really don't know if I am going to be able to go on one of these again. I guess if you ask me that in a few months I am sure the answer will be....


Here is our group photo I was the photographer for this one and had to keep running in to the photo it was quite funny.
A big thank you to Sonia, Brian, Bianca, Gran and Di for doing an awesome job... after arriving early and seeing what goes into setting up everything it is a huge effort by everyone, LMAO I am glad Brian said he would unpack the 2 tonne truck.
Well I am still really really really tired and I am off to bed.
Have a good week all :o)
