So jealous!!!!

I want to know their secret, because ALL of our pumpkins died this year.......it was a really bad year for ours, but these pumpkins did great!!! We think we are going to stick with pea and potatoes next year because it is the only thing we are really good at!!! Lol!!! In the past we have grown fab pumpkins but the last couple of years they haven't grown at all.

Children of the corn.....

Busy scrapbooking....

Everyone at work.....we had chick flicks playing as we scrapped - Dirty Dancing, Mamma Mia, Bride Wars, My Big Fat Greek Wedding etc etc.....lots of wine and coolers...snacks and wonderful meals :) it was just wonderful :) There were even Stampin Up stamp sets to buy.

Best of all we had maid service!!! Some of the Daughters of a few scrappers were in the main house and they would come over after meals and collect all of our dishes etc and clean up after all of our meals!!! they cleaned the 'party house' before we arrived' and after we left and all we had to give them was a little pocket money!!! We each tipped them a bit! (they did a great job so we tipped them well!!! They were very happy)!!

It was a wonderful retreat :)

We scrapped through the night....

I went to bed at 3am and these crazy gals went to bed at 4am I think....I took these pics just before 2am with my iphone to prove the time ;)

One of the projects I worked on.....

A little mini album I worked on at the crop.....just needs to be embellished a little more and finished up at home....

The scrappers!!!

Here is everyone from the retreat this weekend!! Such a lovely, friendly, welcoming and FUN group of ladies :) I don't think we stopped laughing the whole time.....it was so nice - thank you so much for including me and inviting me!!! It really was a wonderful time!!!!

(But hey, this last picture was SUPPOSED to be the FUNNY picture, so how come there are only two of us doing something FUNNY????????)


And Oh boy I just look sooooooo tired!!! I was soooooo tired - I AM sooooo tired :) But I have had so much fun the last few days - the concert, the art journaling class I ran on Friday and then the retreat....Abigails gymnastics class and her art classes....all the rushing about was so worth it because it has been so much fun - but I am totally and utterly EXHAUSTED!!!!!

I met a new guy this weekend.....

I went away for the weekend and met a new guy....my friend Joanne introduced us....his name's Hank...he's a little fruity ;)

I brought him home with me and introduced him to Lloyd - thought he might like a threesome (you know the way some men fantasize.....) but sadly Lloyd wasn't quite as amused.....I think Hanks size intimidated him.....I'm a little relieved to be honest - Hank can be a little prickly at times ;)

And so Hank is now sitting in the sunroom looking out at the driveway with a sad look in his eye....just waiting for that first little fruit fly to penetrate his tough smooth skin.....either that or I take the blade to him this afternoon and make chocolate muffins from him......

Hhhmmmmm.....
