Crafty Friends are the Best!

Earlier in October, I was invited by Brenda of Inkspired to Stamp, to come to Indiana for a crafting retreat.  Of course I jumped at the chance to meet this amazing lady in person, plus some other crafting friends I knew from blogging, and catch up with those I had already met.  Brenda's SIL (and partner in crime) came too, so I got to meet another one of those amazing people that becomes a fast friend.

Here's a few photos from the trip:


L-R Back Row: Linda, Greta, Me, Maria, Colleen, Front Row: Brenda, Darnell, Sharon

I'm so late in posting this because as soon as I got home, we started the process of moving my mom to live with us.  We've been moving and cleaning out her apartment ever since.  Meanwhile, homecoming, fall yard cleanup, and general day to day "have tos" have rounded out the time.  I am so thankful to Brenda for inviting me, for camaraderie among friends, and for the beautiful weather and setting.  It was truly a retreat from normal daily life, and one I will cherish always!

 I leave you now with this wonderful photo of Colleen as the Headless Horseman!

Thanks for coming over to visit!  May the Lord bless you today!

  7. A great retreat wrap-up, Kara, except for that photo of me and Greta! You actually caught the look on my face when I said, "Are you taking a candid photo of me?" Very naughty!! I love the photo of Colleen! Such good times, but it makes me miss you terribly! I hope everyone is settling in and you're feeling better!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
