A BIG THANK YOU to Lesa for catering for us all weekend and Tracey R for all the great challenges she set for us. Thanks to everyone for attending and being such wonderful scrap companions. New friends were made over the weekend and hopefully those of you who attended one of our retreats for the first time will join us again in the future. We are thinking of another retreat in late October early November so put those dates aside for another weekend away.
