Retreat Weekend in Gainsville Texas! WHAT FUN :)

Thank you Melissa Robinson for a fabulous time! I heart you!

Secret Sister gift! Amanda you rock!

One of the gifts I gave my Secret Sister using Tim Holtz inks! Inside is FULL of Ribbon :)

Art work by Amanda Canale isn't she AWESOME! Love this idea I am going to scraplift this for sure!

A kit I bought a few years ago at the GASC I hate kits like these where you have to cut out all the pieces... guess that's why it took me so long to finish but it turned out rather cute I think!

My Secret Sister Amanda :) Thank you for making the retreat so much FUN and all my sweet gifts!
