OK, I have a question. How do all of you that have blogs, keep them up to date? You would think that I would have had a couple of free hours in the past six weeks to actually update this blog that I wanted so badly right? Right. It’s not like I don’t have enough self-imposed guilt in my life…but now I have to add not updating my blog regularly to that guilt trip too. Please, tell me…HOW DO YOU DO IT?????

It’s for reasons just like this that I often feel the need to get away…to run away from all of the things I have to do and just pretend that they don’t exist. I know…it’s called "denial"…and I’m very good at it! I just returned from our last scrapbooking and cardmaking retreat out in Canmore this weekend and it was FABULOUS!! The ladies had such a great time and we are soooo looking forward to our next retreat. Here are the details once again:
