On Friday mid-morning Matt, Debbie, the kids, and I went to the Greek Food Festival in Little Rock. Oh yummy! Unfortunately, I can't eat baklava, and the yummy pastry that Karon told me about was not available this year. But I did stuff myself full of gyros, pastitsia, hummus and pitas, and another yummy spinach-stuffed pastry that I can't spell the name of.
Then I ran home and picked up the food I had made for our friends Mark and Stefanie, and took it up to the hospital. I cuddled the new baby while Mark and Stef ate. Then I took lots of pictures. Here are a few of the best. I'm looking forward to a photo shoot with the baby in their home in a month or so!
After I left the hospital, I swung by Sonic and grabbed a giant cherry limeade before heading out to my scrapbook retreat. I'll spare you the details of the weekend. I just scrapbooked until 2:30 a.m., then lay in my bed talking with my roomie, Stephanie, until 3:15. A severe thunderstorm rolled in at that point, and Steph and I pulled back the curtains, turned around so our heads were at the foot of our beds, and watched the storm until 3:45. Then we went to sleep. We had breakfast at 8, then scrapbooked until 6 p.m. I got 40 pages (20 layouts) done, journaling in all! Maybe later this week I'll scan a few and post them.
All ready to go! Scrapbooking with Wendy

Now I'm home, and I'm VERY tired. I'm thinking about taking a nap before community group at 6. Yes, I think I'll go do that now! Happy rest of the weekend!

Your posts about scrapbooking retreats always make me want to start scrapbooking! Then I remember the 1st year book I still haven't finished for my big girl... :) Glad that you had fun!
oh yay! I knew your weekend would be great :) I'm so happy for you that you got SO much done in your scrap book! :) I really would LOVE for you to scan some of the pages onto your computer, so I can get some inspiration! :)
enjoy your week!
Love Rach
Nice! This all sounds like nice stuff to get tired doing. I loved the baby pictures - so sweet. I know Kara is only 7 months old, but those pictures made me ache to hold a new born again.
I'm proud of you for being faithful with scrapbooking! I am not faithful with it and its something that bothers me. I want to get the stuff out and start trying again, because my kids would love the memories!
That is an amazing about of pages scrapped in one weekend! When i go with my friends we are lucky if we get done with 10!
Love the baby pictures. Congrats on getting so much scrapping done. I wish I had uninterrupted time to do some but I guess I've lost desire over the past year or so.
