Gabby of the Week - Gizmo

This little guy is just too cute. He decided all on his own to join our group picture {see him to the right of Julie T's head}. We were quite happy to let him join, too. Want to know his super trick? He can take the lid off of a bottle. He took the lid off this water bottle in about 5 seconds.

April Scrapbook Retreat

The April Scrapbook Retreat will be April 23,24,25 and we decided to do a Easter theme. So get out your Easter Bonnet girls. Also put your gift in a basket for the Chinese gift exchange. I will send out a detailed letter the first of January as the first half of everyones payment will be due by January 15th and the second half due by April 16th. It is getting harder to top each retreat and I don't know how we do it, but we have more fun each time.

Anthologies is always a great place to get together for a crop night, so anytime anyone wants to go give me a call. We can always get a group together.

What a Weekend!!!!!

The scrapbooking weekend was a blast. It was great to see all my friends. Connie, Catherine, Melissa and I went out Thursday night and enjoyed a great dinner at the Fireside Grill. We had a fabulous dinner and the laugh was on me as I went to pay for my dinner I whipped out my credit card and a few minutes later the waiter returned looking over his glass at me with his hands on his hips and siad, "REALLY....Dillards!!!!" I burst out laughing...it was dark and my Dillards and Mastercard are both black. I gave him the right card and we were out of there. Our waiter had a dry sense of humor, but was alot of fun. We arrived at the Covered Bridge Inn around 9:00 pm. We leasurely unpacked and got our stuff set up. Friday everyone arrived and the fun began. Lots of laughs and catching up with everyone. It was Shannon's B-day and we sang Happy B-day as she arrived. We had lots of door prizes and made a trip to Nana's to buy the latest and greatest. We took a group shot of everyone in their Gabby Sweatshirts. It was a late night and back up early on Saturday to begin another fun day scrapping, shopping and laughing. Katy came out to visit with us as she was unable to attend the weekend. Robin's husband brought out their new baby Bella and she was the Belle of the ball. Saturday night we had a Super hero night and some amazing costumes.

Lauren was Super Boss-y
Connie was Super Sunglasses Senorita
Andrea was Scrapologist Dr. Trout...cure for scrapbook addiction

We did our group photo on the main stairway in Pat's house....thanks Pat. We also took a group shot of our bendable people and it was just hilarious. Also had our chinese gift exchange which makes for more laughs. We have such a great bunch of women who are so full of life, caring, energetic, great sense of humor, compassionate, intelligent,and are so giving. It is such a pleasure to spend a weekend with this wonderful bunch of women. The food was fabulous as usual and the weekend wrapped up on Sunday as we said our goodbye's until the next weekend in April. We missed Autum and Angie as they were unable to come as well. But we were glad to meet Terry and Rae-ann and hoped they had as much fun as we did.
