Monday Mojo Sketch and Retreat Info

Here is a card I made at the retreat this weekend. I made this for a sketch challenge for Julee at Poetic Artistry. I love this new set Fancy Florals I bought at Verve Visual. The CB is Old Olive and the rest of the paper is Basic Grey- Mellow. The sentiment is also in the Fancy Florals set. I stamped the flowers with Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. I used Fruit Punch Stickles for the dots in the flowers. The ribbon is a brown crinkle ribbon from Verve Visual also. I love how this ribbon ties so easily and has a little sheen to it. The small orange buttons are Lasting Impressions. I love everything about this card. I am going to send it to my friend who is having surgery tomorrow. Please say a prayer for my friend Julie that everything goes well.

Now for the details about the retreat. I had a blast! I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Everyone was wonderful. The accomodations were great and the food was to die for and yes, I cheated this weekend and didn't stick to my diet. I will be right back at it tomorrow. It was definitely worth cheating.

Thanks to Susan for organizing everything and to all of you who made me laugh. It was great to meet each and everyone of you. Somebody needs to cancel so I can go in April. (Hahaahhaaaa!) It was really fun to spend time with my SIL (Dottie) even though she wishes we weren't friends. (hahaha) I feel so much better after my little weekend and it was so good to see my children. Presley is pulling herself up. They seem to be better today so maybe those breathing treatments are really working. I really missed those sweet girls of mine. I couldn't keep my hands off of them when I got home. They were covered in kisses all night until they went to bed. Presley is really saying Mama a lot. I think she knows who Mama is now. My heart melts just hearing that sweet voice say Mama. Daddy says Brooke is a little booger, can you believe he said that about my darling daughter. She has the cutest faces. I just want to kiss those cheeks everytime she is near. Wow! can you tell I missed those girls. I am sounding sappy. Hmmmm! I must get to bed so I can get my rest for my day with my children tomorrow. Thanks to all for such a fun weekend.
