Anyone want to join me for a little Creative Retreat? So, I’ve taken Monday and Tuesday off because I’d like to have a little creative stay-cation. DH is spending part of the weekend at the deer lease. So, I actually think I’m going to make it a four day event for myself (With breaks for family etc intertwined). Why don’t you join me?

Poor DH, he is so sweet. When he got off...
I finished this layout the day of our home study. I thought we were just having a pre-home study visit and was not concerned with making things were perfect. To pass my time, I scrapped these pictures from our Sept trip to Oklahoma. . . I really couldn’t wait to scrap them. They just speak to me.
