{ I’m Up To My Eye Balls }

In Pressed Peonies, But I don’t think I would have it any other way! Sorry that I’ve been a bit M.I.A. I have been trying to get ready for my Kid Free Retreat and filling numerous Etsy orders has kept me busy, well those things and the 5 kids running a muck through my house. Plus my Brother David & his family are coming from Utah to stay the night with us tonight. 

If you want to make your own fabric flowers I use 
You can change up how the flower looks with your pleating.

I will be driving to Hayden Idaho on Thursday where I get to hang with my AWESOME Gal Pals and we are going to:

1.Eat at a real Restaurant that doesn’t offer a happy meal – AKA The Olive Garden.
2. Shop at a fun Scrapbook store.
3. Scrap until our eyeballs fall out or we run out of adhesive (which ever comes first)
4. Stay up till the wee hours in the morning laughing so hard that our sides hurt, thanks to some DVD’s I like to call FRIENDS.
5. Drink far too many of my Specialty Dr.Pepper cream drinks.
6. Maybe do a little Kayaking on Hauser Lake.
7. Just simply have a FABULOUS TIME!

It’s going to be a great weekend. And even though I am looking forward to some serious kid free time I know I’m going to miss my kiddo's faces.
But don’t tell my husband that. ;)

  19. Hi,
    I've been reading your blog for a few months and really enjoy it. I thought the photo of your retreat looked familiar a while back. I actually live in Hayden. The only real scrapbook store in CDA is Scrappin on the Blvd. There is another fun scrapbook store in Spokane Valley here is the information.
    Scrapper's Attic
    1300 N Mullan Spokane Valley, WA 99206
    (509) 921-9410
    www.scrappersattic.net
    Have lots of fun.
