Spring has finally sprung

at the Bobsleigh with the Scrapbags Spring retreat.

We've had a wondersful weekend filled with scrapping, friendship, laughter, challenges and a not-inconsiderable amount of food.

I set up the cropping room and waitied for eveyone to arrive

Which they did...

And before long.........

And that was just the sketch challenge- WOW!!!!!! 

We also had three classes, the ready steady scrap challenge, the goodie bag LO and card challenges, and the recipe challenge.  What with the raffle, bingo and draw there were lots of prizes too. 

We have never had so many layouts displayed before and I really did appreciate everyone's participation. I think Chris & Mary's idea of a prize draw rather than competition was a winner and we'll be doing this again. Although next time I will bring THREE packs of blue tack and more prizes.  This does mean that I don't have challenge 'winners' to show, but it really is worth looking through the slide show which is HUGE.

Some scrapping action: 

 

 

 

 

Notice that this a bottle of WATER!

 

 

The sun came out on Sunday and so did the Scrapbags

And so did the stripes:

 

 

All that scrapping, having not eaten much (?!?), meant that we were ready for a good meal and boy do the Bobsleigh do a good meal

 

 

 

Never before have I been relieved  not to have been offered a pudding.

 

 

Here's a last peek of the lovely ladies before it was time to pack up and head for home.

 

 

 

 

And that was another retreat over.

 

 

But.....................

 

 

 

 

We will be back......................
