Tale of a Tit Willow...


This past weekend was Jerri's 3rd Annual Crop 2 Help Scrapbooking Retreat. I got to spend 48 hours with 23 fellow scrapbookers and it was a Blast! I got to bunk with my buds Jill and Mona, met a few new folks, re-united with some that I've not seen over the past year, got to hug on and hang out with my favorite Jen, watched Mona chase the ducks, went to a great new scrapbook store (The Scrapbook Princess), saw a yard full of frogs, and, yes, I did sing my very own rendition of the Very Old Song "Tit Willow" to everyone the night I pulled it out of Jerri's frame kit. I don't know why, but I seem to generally end up with some odd items in my class kits from Jerri. I definitely don't think it's on purpose... Scary coincidence, maybe. LOL! This time I actually got a Whole Project Done! Hey, that's saying a lot for me! I'm usually lucky to get a couple of pages done much less a whole mini album!

I was a little over zealous with my card classes this time though, so next time I'm definitely going to streamline things a bit. I was able to get 19 folks through the 3 detailed cards with limited supplies though. I'm big on letting everyone do their own stamping. Maybe next time I should do some of it and have it included in the kit when I have a large number of folks and limited supplies. You live and learn yanno.

While I had everything still out of my craft room, I decided to go ahead and finish getting it all straightened up before I piled everything back in there. I'm soo stinkin' proud of me for this! I've finally found a place for everything, and Everything is in it's Place. I can actually SEE THE FLOOR and not just piles of boxes everywhere! YAY!

I've got pictures, but I'll have to post them later since they're still on my camera instead of inside the laptop where they belong. LOL!

Have a Great rest of your week Y'all!

You are way funny! I enjoyed your entertainment and your company! I am still kicking myself for missing your card class and your flip flop book was awesome!
