At the retreat

OMGoodness how much fun are we having at the pazzles retreat!

Vacation Update

It's day 5 of our Yellowstone vacation and boy have we seen alot, waterfalls and mountians and wildlife, we seen geysers and hot spring and boiling mud we have seen sulfer pots and lakes and more wildlife. Sofar we have been to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and we have stayed in 4 different hotels all on our way to the pazzles retreat. The weather was kinda suckie at the tetons so we couldn't see the top of the mountians which was dissapointing I really wanted my son to see them but we still had a good time.
I have a few video snippits for you however I think it's going to take to long to upload on my netbook so I'll wait till we get home for those but here are a few pictures and I'll add more in a few days, ok we are off to Glacier Park.

Notebook for pazzles retreat

I am so excited about Pazzles upcomming retreat that I made a notebook to mach the wordbook that I made earlier. I covered a comp. book which I bought at wal-mart for .50 cents with paper I designed in my pazzles software and printed out on cardstock. The closure is brown paper coated with modpog on both sides to give extre strength and velcro to hold it closed.

This is the wordbook I made to match for pictures of the retreat.

This is my pazzles binder I keep all my cds and pazzles instruction papers with printouts of whats on each cd, I decorated the outside with extra cuts left over from varies projects.

This is the back of the binder.


This is what the inside looks like.

Ok I think I'm ready................
Now I just need to win a travel case for my machine.

Hubbie turns 50

Ok the hubbie turned 50 this year and having a doctors appointment the day before is not a good idea, so we were banned from buying him a birthday cake so ok I can deal with this, but everyone should have a cake on their birthday right. So I made him a piewedge box cake and filled each box with fishing gear, he was so happy with it and here are the pictures.
