I've Been Busy - Creating!

Some of you may or may not know that I'm off to California next week for a mini-vacation and to take in a scrapbooking event called Winter Wonderland Affairs, November 29 to December 2. Leading up to the event, participants had the opportunity to sign-up to participate in swaps at the event. No, I didn't sign up for all of them, but I did sign up for these: {1} Wreath Swap {2} Socks & Gloves Swap {3} Christmas Ornament Swap {4} Snow Globe Swap {5} Christmas Stocking Swap and {6} Christmas Bella Angel Swap. I finished, this evening, making all of my swaps. What fun to think outside of the box and just let my creativity go. I can't post pics yet, cause they are a secret until the swaps are done. Let me know what you think.

Altered Journal

On Friday, I went to the monthly scrappin crop at the hall of Munroe and Gray, to find my girlfriends there to share the evening with. And beside me was none other than Marlene. She gave to me an intriguing package all wrapped up in toille and I fell in love at first site. She had altered a journal for me and gave it to me so that I could capture bits and pieces about my trip when I go to California at the end of the month. I love this journal, because it's a little piece of Marlene. Because it's a little piece of her endearing creativity.

Shekinah, Saskatchewan

That's where I was from last Thursday to Sunday ... at a wonderfully, cosy, log-structure retreat centre. Natural lighting abounding, along with fabulous company. I managed to get some of my swaps done for a trip I am doing at the end of November, and some layouts (below). Didn't get too many pictures of Shekinah, but sharing a couple nonetheless.
