Trish, shame about the retreat. I know our group allow babies under 1 to go (mostly cos we are all still breast feeding when they are that age) but I have noticed those mother's don't get much done. Thou I enjoyed the cuddles from the tiny visitors last year. *grins*It was lovely of the shop to make that offer. :-) Make sure you take some time to yourself that weekend, to scrap at home or a friends house!
TY, I love retreats! Just so focused and so many wonderful ideas to see.

I'd love to hear what your brother thought of his album.

Karen, that sounds like fun! Get stuck into it and play with alll your new toys. :-)

Jess, whoohoo!! Oh, I hope you have lots of fun and enjoy learning about this great new hobby. I'd love to see the pages you create.

I have my workshop this Friday, and we are doing "Christmas in July" and I am wrapt. I have so many great pics of Nina and her cousin sharing their first christmas together, and have so many great new ideas to ty out. :-)
