At retreat

 I had a busy day yesterday, grocery pickup and finished packing up.  I did the final sanding on six more ornaments before I left, the total is seventy six ready to paint someday.  Then I left and drove almost an hour to the retreat. The leaves are turning fast so we are almost peak fall color. There are eight of us here so far.  Nothing major is happening on my table yet.  However some gals are working hard.


All are having fun…lots of giggling.


Note that they all have phones.

  2. Hah! Of course everyone has phones these days right? I generally have mine on me too. But not when I walk in our woods. It just dings a lot telling me there is no voice service so I leave it at home.
    Enjoy this time off!

  10. What a fun time you must be having! Enjoy every minute of it!

    As far as the phones, I just read an article about a young couple that tried to not use their phones while on vacation. They got lost because they had trouble using a paper map and they seemed to have difficulty with almost everything they did without looking things up on their phones. After one day they went back to using them. For the young it seems to be a crutch. I have a smart phone but I do know how to exist without it! Enjoy your retreat!

  12. Not only do they all have phones, but they are right there at hand. We are terrible about that, aren't we.

  13. Sounds like lots of fun happening on your retreat! And your Christmas ornaments are really coming along. You'll have a lot to keep you busy when you get back home. Do you stay in a nearby hotel during these retreats? Do you know some of the people there from prior years? Have fun.

  14. The different card styles are interesting. The first one resembles Stampscapes. I have a bunch of those stamps, but not very good with the style. I bet the markers make the blending easier. I am so glad you are taking some well deserved time away at retreat.
