Shame on me ...

If you were looking for me last weekend,

I was at Whitworth Ranch.

 

This is always such a treat for me.

It's a lot of work packing up and getting my projects all lined up

(not to mention unpacking when I get home)

but it's something I love to do.

 

Where does the "shame on me" come into play?

I accomplished so little on this trip.

I'm not sure why - but my productivity was way down compared to other retreats.

 

Here's a few cards I can share:

 

 

 

YES! There are people that still send thank you cards.

 

We had a lot of laughs and comments over the image on this card.

Everybody called them "the spooky girls" but I think they're swet.

I did make some things other than just these four cards,

but like I said ...

my productivity was way down. 

 

I met several people

and one was Kim Zapalac, my first featured guest.

Danielle Davis and Malinda Holley

arrived later than the rest of us but we didn't skip a beat.

It's always so much fun to share stories and ideas with new friends.

Donna Curtis and Stephanie Budsberg (mother and daughter)

were there for their first time.

Since they shared a room with Julie Watkins and me

we hope we didn't scare them off.

The four of us had such a good time.

 

See what I mean about scaring them off?

Here's Julie posing at the ironing board.
I wish I could share what Julie worked on all weekend.
When it's completed, I promise I will.
She's making THE MOST BEAUTIFUL christening dress for her granddaughter.
I can't wait to see it.

 

Gosh - I just finished unpacking and putting everything away

and next week I have to do it all over again.

And then just seven weeks later I'll be back out there.

Shucks - isn't that just awful?

Somebody has to do it, right?

Some time between now and then
I'm planning to feature myself as a Featured Guest.
People have been asking me so I guess I'll share, too.
I can't expect others to spill their guts if I'm not willing to do the same, right?
I've also got a couple of others lined up as well.

Remember one thing:  YOU matter.  See you next time!
