Well, it's been a long time since my last post, but over the summer I've been busy busy busy with family holidays, entertaining the children and preparing for the new term.

And then the main event of the summer - the Scrapbags September 2009 Retreat. We had 2 1/2 days of pure uninterrupted scrapping, broken only by the need to eat and sleep. Lorraine brought her Scrap Revolution shop along and taught us three classes incorporating a number of techniques.

We had our usual Ready Steady Scrap Challenge using the gorgeous Cosmo Cricket Gretel paper range, of which Sheila, Aisling and Chris were joint winners. You can see the winners amongst all of the entries in the slideshow above right.

Before we knew it we were heading back down the drive, homeward bound, but are all looking forward to March 2010 when we will be returning for our spring event.
