Happy Mother's Day!

I would like to wish everyone a happy Mother's Day!  I am a proud mom of three teenage children --  two girls and one boy.  They and my husband have made my day nice by starting out making me breakfast in bed.  They also got me a nice necklace with a matching ring.  Later on, we will be going to Brad's mom and dad's home and having dinner with his whole family which includes lots of siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews!  My mom passed away about 24 years ago so we spend every Mother's Day with Brad's family!

I also wanted to share this scrapbook page I made of Brad's mom.  I put it in a shadow box and I will give it to her for Mother's Day.  Her name is Rosalie and is a wonderful lady.  She is so kind and does so many nice things for our family.  I love her so much and am very grateful to have her as a mother-in-law.

I hope you enjoy your day whether you are a mother of a child, a mother of a pet or just spending time with your mother!!

Nifty Fifties Retreat - Sock Hop Party!!

James Dean and Marilyn Monroe even
came to the party!!

Wow, what a party!!  We had such a great time.  Great friends and lots of great music!!  It was so fun watching everyone participate in all the activities we had going on.  I got so caught up in all the fun we were having that I almost forgot to serve the root beer floats!  Special thanks to all the ladies who took the time to put together their fifties outfits.  There were seven poodles skirts (personally sewn just for the retreat), three pink ladies jackets with a special emblem put on each one, a cute bouffont hair style and a fifties style outfit with tennies, pony tail, scarf and cat glasses!!  My friend Janeece provided us with lots of fun decorations.  (Pardon the walls behind the decorations!  The hotel was being remodeled.)  My friend Julie put together a CD of awesome 50's music.  We had a really fun time playing "Name that 50's Tune."

I also want to thank all the ladies who traveled some distance to come to my retreat.  We had ladies from three different states - Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.  One time I traveled four hours to go to a retreat.  We had one lady travel five hours to come to this one!!

I hope you enjoy all the pictures!!

Love is in the Air!!

Valentine's Day is coming up and I hope everyone expresses their love to their loved ones!  I love my family so much and they are so supportive of my scrapbooking hobby and my love for having scrapbook retreats!  Thanks again to everyone for coming to my retreats.  I hope you have had as much fun as I have had these past couple of years.  Here are some pictures of my sweet family!

Fun at the Winter Wonderland Retreat

It is still cold outside, but we had plenty of warmth going on at the retreat.  One of the fun games we played included scarves and gloves!  The ladies had to wrap the scarves around their heads and necks, put on the gloves and then try to open a very tightly wrapped candy bar.  Each one was timed with a roll of a dice and then they took turns.  It was quite fun to watch and everyone (who wasn't in the game) took lots of pictures.

We only had one group of die hard scrapbookers (yeah, Janeen, Jean, Kristie and Julie) who came for the extra day of scrapbooking.  They got lots done and we had a great time chatting.  Everyone else came the next day.

We had some more new ladies attend this retreat and I think everyone had a good time.  I always appreciate all my other scrapbookers who keep coming to my retreats.  I offer a "punch card" to everyone who comes to my retreats.  If you come to six retreats, you get the seventh one half price.  I have four ladies who have filled their punch cards already!  Thanks so much for your support.

WINTER WONDERLAND RETREAT JANUARY 20-22 LOGAN CRYSTAL INN

Brr, it is cold outside and it is time to stay warm scrapbooking.  Now is a good time to get all those holiday pictures scrapbooked!  At this retreat, you will have the choice of coming for 2 days or 3 days.  Just imagine how much scrapbooking you will get done in 3 days!!

At each retreat you will receive your hotel room, scrapbook gift, meals, drawings, activities, lots of prizes and lots of fun.  See the information to the right of my blog for the cost and details.  I hope you can come!!

Happy Holidays!!

I hope everyone has a nice holiday season!  We have already started up here in Mantua with lots of beautiful snow.  I wish everyone a safe and happy joyous time of the year.  Make sure you take lots of fun pictures!

My New Camera!

I am so excited about my new camera I got for my birthday a couple of weeks ago.  I told my husband I wanted a digital SLR camera.  Well, not only did he get it for me but he also surprised me with a telephoto lens, tripod and three special effects lenses.  It has been so much fun.  My daughter just finished playing in the Box Elder High School play - Phantom of the Opera.  After watching her perform in school plays over the past seven years, I finally was able to get some great close up pictures of her on stage - without a flash!  Here are a few photos I have taken with my camera!

We love to each sushi.  This is where we
went for my birthday.  It is in Logan.

How about this for dinner!!



This is the view outside my barn house!
So lovely!
